More Spring fun

I wouldn't mess with this slugger!

Noah took a day off school and came into work with me one day.  Having lunch in the office.  Sandwich, chips, yogurt, apples.  He's a growing boy!

Hanging out at Penn with Andrew Difilippo

Sophie is doing great at Karate.  Easily earned her advanced Camo belt.

Noah decided he wanted to green hair so used hair chalk.  Went to school like this actually!

For mom?

You can tell Rita's Water Ice is now open for business!

We went to Avon for Mother's celebration  As a treat, the girls had pedicures.  Sophie is certainly the Queen of the shop!

Cousin Ben!

And Sam

And everyone.

Hello pretty

Mother's Day dinner at Hibachi.

Go go go go Noah

Then to complete the night, back to Rita's (check out the shoes!).    Sophie is a Rita's pro.

But look what happens when  you eat too much Water Ice.

Noah had a special Karate class for Weapons Training!

It's been a busy spring, but this is only the start!

Spring fun 2016

When we got back from vacation, we found the Easter Bunny had left a couple baskets for the kids since we weren't home when he came.

Noah has the best T shirts.

Hey, that's my bed you're sitting on.

Noah's 4th grade Sunday School class helped run services at our temple one night.  

We have been busy.  Having so much fun, but some of us are wiped out at the end of the day!

One Sunday afternoon we went to a Karaoke bar in China Town with friends.  Sophie is here with Scarlett trying to pick out a good song to sing.

And FINALLY!  The first Dairy Queen of the year!  They opened in early April.  Note it is sunny but we still have winter coats.

Sophie was playing T ball this year.  This is her team, the Lugnuts on opening day after the parade.  She is 3rd from the left with her shirt tied us since it was too big.

Helping dad on sunday morning.

We went for Passover in Danbury.    Ben was braiding Sophie's hair.

All the kids playing with Jordan.

Some time at the driving range.  not bad form!

Lunch at the Diner.

Ready the 4 Questions.  This is the dress Sophie bought in Barcelona.  

We had a great Passover.  Looking forward to the next Holiday!!

Vacation-3

The kids got along...most of the time.  These pictures are best watching them like "animation" on the computer.  Look out for Sophie. 

Went went on a Pirate adventure.  We took a pirate ship out to the Ocean where first we stopped to go snorkeling, then they stopped at floating island where we had lunch and went swimming with sharks and stingrays.  Really.  

David and Noah out in the ocean snorkeling.

Getting ready to land at the island.  Looks who's driving!

On the way back, the Pirates were having a huge fight over the treasure map.  See Sophie and Mom up above?

Back at the hotel and on our way to breakfast one morning.

Good morning Sophie.

Good morning kids.

Down at the end of the beach was a whole row of shacks/shops.  The kids did a lot of shopping and negotiating.

Sophie got here hair braided.

And Noah loved the shops most of all.  Though some were a bit X rated.  Like these guys (you have to look closely).

Sophie went to the kids club one night to make pizzas

 The biggest challenge of the trip was food.  Noah at Steak most nights and many lunches.  The food wasn't all that "kid friendly" (or adult friendly for that matter!).  We couldn't have been more excited when we got to the airport in Punta Cana and found Wendy's!! Ahhhh.....

Well, it was a great week, and all good things must end.  The plane was here and ready to take us home.

Back in Philadelphia.  There still is no place like home!
