Derby Time

Another Saturday and we were off to all the sports games for the kids.  Once again, we watched Emily have a stellar performance in soccer.

But the kids weren't the only ones having fun today.  Brian and I headed out to a Kentucky Derby party on this beautiful day.

A great event and a superb fundraiser!!

Elsa Anyone

The boys are off running their race and Emily is off to a birthday party.  So excited because it is an Elsa party.  Can you tell?

Third Grade Mayrathon

Connor did a great job asking for pledges from all of us.  He called everyone and personally asked and I am proud to give him donations because of his determination and professional way he raised his donations.  Now time to hit the course and run.

All the grade starting off and he is right next to his buddy Harrison.

Connor cruising through his third lap.  

Heartbreak Hill was tough but look who comes up it again. 

And now for the finish. 

All five laps completed.  Connor should be celebrating because he was worried he wouldn't be able to finish.  No problem.  

Celebrate!

And of course we found Emma too!

Super job - even with an untied shoe but that is your style.  We love you!

Marathon

Today is Mayrathon day at school.  This is a school fundraiser where the kids called all their family members to ask for donations for each lap they run.  This year we are all excited that they are raising money for Melonoma research which is near and dear to all of our family.

First up, Garrett and his first grade classes.

It didn't take him long to find a rhythm and take off. 

Two laps down.  

On his third lap, G is still cruising. If they complete five laps around the school it is a total of 3 miles.  That is quite an accomplishment for anyone.  

Garrett flying in finishing his fifth lap to the finish line.

No problem and loving his treat.   Now time to celebrate with his buddies. 

Congrats on a great run and for raising money for such a great cause.  

Mommy & Emily Morning

This morning Emily and I had a date front row center at Disney Live.  It was a show about three of the Classic Disney stories, Snow White, Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast.  We were very excited.  

The show was so much fun. Emily sat with a smile the whole time.  

At the end of the show the front of the audience was covered with flying confetti.  I am pretty sure Emily thought this was amazing.  It was great to have some girl time.  Love you sweetie. 

Fury Time

Sluggers Academy is a baseball academy near our house which the boys go to for lessons.  This weekend Connor was asked to fill in for their travel team because they didn't have enough players.

Look at this baseball player.  

C played a doubleheader with the team and played fantastic. He made a great catch in right field and contributed to their offense with numerous hits and RBIs. 

They were great games to watch by all.  

The Fury ended up winning both games which were their first wins of the season. Way to play great and to have fun out their buddy.  We loved watching you have fun.  

LI Fun & Relatives

Andrew, Mandy and Emily were visiting NY from England so we headed down to Long Island to say hello.  This trip we stayed at the Glen Cove Mansion and really got to enjoy all the amenities, especially the pool.  

Daddy daughter time - Emily is a little fish.

Go G go!

Perfect photo bomb

It isn't a trip to LV if we haven't gone on a bike ride, played ball at the school field and of course, driveway hockey.  Of course, Connor and Garrett had Andrew and Emily out on the school field playing baseball.

We even fit in a couple games of cut throat hockey.  It really was a fun time and probably very eye opening for Andrew and Emily.

Pool time again.  

Pretty in pink.

Connor here is the picture of the hotel that you wanted to keep.  It is pretty cool.

Before we headed back home, we headed off to the Bayville adventure park.  We played mini-golf, rode bumper boats and then did the high ropes course.

A quick ride for Em and grandma on the train.  

What a great weekend and it was great to have the kids see some more family.  Thanks Andrew, Mandy and Emily for putting up with all of our craziness.
