Summer Vacation

This year we got asked to join my best friend's family on vacation. They had rented a big house on Deep Creek Lake in MD. It's a man made lake with a state park with a little beach area. We hit that up twice. The water was chilly to the adults but the kids had a blast

We spent a morning at Wisp Mountain. Its a ski mountain that added all sorts of summer attractions. The boys went on a mountain coaster (and somehow I have no photos) but Liz was happy they had a sand box!

S'MORES!!!

Some very intense Uno play... (Stella, Jack and Mike)

The kids had a ball.... they had frisbees and rockets. It kept them entertained for hours!!

Snack break!

The Gang... (Mike, Mac and Jack... Evy, Liz and Stella)

We hope we get invited again next year but hope they pick someplace without bears!!

T ball

Our spring has been filled with lots and lots of t-ball.... I continue to be impressed by the way Michael masters things... He's loving tball and can be very intense when watching the ball.... He played 1st base a few weeks back and managed to get 5 kids out!!

Getting some advice from the coach

Bit of a performer on our hands....

Mikey has been getting into outer space lately and is pretty fascinated with Mars and Mars rovers... (did you realize there are a bunch of them? I had no clue!)  So, a few days ago I wished him a Happy Earth Day... My super sensitive boy who wants to make sure no one is left out asked when is Mars Day??? Then he told me these jokes....
