Saturday Fun

Kids picked out new bikes today. They all went up 4" on the wheel size. Reuben and Jacob to 24" inches and Faith to 20". These are belated birthday bikes. We pick them up tomorrow :-)
When we got back from shopping we quickly to changed to hit the pool for an hour. Then back home for some grilling and some backyard netless badminton!

Cousins at The Pool

We all had a super time at the pool.

Father's Day At The Nats

Second inning underway. Here with the cub scout troop.

Back for the weekend

I spent last week in St Louis working a proposal. Was hoping to get in at a decent time last night to be fresh for the weekend. Unfortunately my flight was cancelled which then led to the scramble to get out of St Louis that was wracked with delays all around. I finally did make on a different airline; I think the last flight out of St Louis. Got into National airport at 1:15am.
We did have a late morning; got to sleep to about 8:30. Then everyone went to IHOP for breakfast. Leisurely breakfast spent reading the paper... and comics


The kids are still so into baseball. Practicing in the backyard all the time. They wanted to bat so we hit the batting cage for the first time. They did pretty well even though the slowest cage is still a bit faster than their machine pitch league.

Late Afternoon Dip

We hit the pool this afternoon around 5pm. It was perfect out. Some clouds had come in, but it made it not too hot. Water was nice and everyone had fun.

A Perfect Night For A BBQ

It was such a beautiful evening that on my way home I stopped off to pick up some hamburgers and hot dogs.... and some watermelon!

Karen is off in Florida, we missed her at our fun dinner.

Israeli Street Fest

Right here in Fairfax Corner.  Big crowd.  Too popular that the falafel stand ran dry :-(

Faith's Dance Recital

She was fantastic at the recital. Beaming on the stage!



And then of course was the excited audience...

Faith Is 7!!!!

Faith had a very fun bowling party. Very calm and orderly with 17 kids bowling, eating pizza, and devouring lots of cake :-)

Happy Mother's Day

We had a double decker day. Mother's Day and Faith's 7th birthday. First was Mother's Day. After Hebrew school the kids wanted to give Karen her gifts. I think they were all hit.

Silly kids

Faith wanted a last picture taken of her as a six year old. Then they all got involved :-)

Cub Scouts At National Building Museum

It was a special cub scout day at the museum. All these areas set up to build things. Faith took Jacob's place today because he is sick.  But, Faith and Reuben really liked it.
