The Phanatic visits Kyle's camp!

Of course, I think we all know Kyle loves sports.  Last week at his camp, he had an experience of a lifetime...the Phanatic came for a visit!  He is the Phillies mascot, for those of you who do not know.  It was a suprise for all of the kids.  They were all dressed in their Phillies gear and the teachers did a great job at getting them pumped up with a dance party prior to the big arrival.  I was so glad to have the chance to be there and see the kids' faces!  Kyle was sooooo excited!  He spent most of the time jumping up and down and laughing.  He would run to be in front of the Phanatic and follow him around.  What a great time for him!!!!

Weekend at the shore

WELCOME TO OUR NEW BLOG!!!!

We had our first opportunity to visit the shore for the summer this past weekend.  It was a great weekend.  Despite being very sleep deprived, the kids were very well behaved.  It was  a perfect weekend with some great memories! 

Of course, the first picture on this post is sideways. Here, Elizabeth finally crashed with Daddy.

Cooling off with some great beach ice cream

 Kyle was quite the water bug.  He loved body surfing and boogie boarding. 

 Dave taught him how to wait and catch a wave

 Lucy the Elephant is a landmark at the shore.  We have visited her nearly every trip there, but this time, I took the kids inside for a tour. This is the view of the beach from the top
