Kite Flying

Yesterday was the National Kite Festival. We had a great time trying to fly our kites. The wind was being kind of difficult, but the boys had a blast running the kite all around anyway. There were so many people that it was dangerous too. Our big kite dive bombed a few times and luckily no one was underneath it. As the boys ran around they got tangled up with other kite strings now and then and accidently crashed a couple of people in the head. In between flying kites they played football and we had some snacks. The cherry blossoms are out and Nana is here visiting so it was an all around great day. We were just missing Matt, but he was at a scout camp out--in heaven doing a night vision course. We be going back to walk around the blossoms this week so I'll post more pictures.

Easter

We hope you all had a HAPPY EASTER!  We had a couple of families over and had a nice dinner and a big easter egg hunt outside.  We had a fun time and it almost felt like we were at a family party.  

Doesn't Nate look happy to be in this picture?

Cam caught on pretty quick once he found out there was candy in the eggs.

Sam being Sam.

Philadelphia

The First One

Love this time of year!!!  I like to walk around my yard and see the growth each day. We are headed to Philadelphia tomorrow to visit some of our old favorite places. We are also taking the boys to a Star Wars exhibit at the Franklin Institute. Gotta go finish getting ready. Hope you all have a lucky day tomorrow!

Gear

Matt came home pretty happy Saturday night. He finally purchased some things he has been tracking for awhile. He was trying to snag a great deal on ebay, but no great deal was to be had. So, with the help of a 20 percent off coupon, some birthday money and the "necessity" of having-the right-gear-because-I'm-a-scoutmaster he was able to bring it all home.

I complain sometimes of how much time scouting takes, but I really am happy to see him interested and doing such a great job and I know all the work will also benefit our boys too.






I've tried to post this many times and the pictures wouldn't upload so lets hope this time works.
