Soccer Mom

J first year of playing soccer.....

Thowing the soccer ball back in after it goes out of bounds

Running after the ball

Taking a water break

Huddle time!

They don't keep score at this age.

However each time his team made a goal J would annouce we won.

Maryland Science Center

Our next stop on our vacation, was to the Maryland Science Center.

Newton's Alley Exhibit

was a very energetic hands-on exhibit that we spent quite a long time exploring!

Of course no scrience center/children's musuem would be complete without a water table. Always a good time!

Presenting the newest astronaut - Do you think NASA will allow him to go to the moon?

Building a fire, Falls and a resuce

Cunningham Falls State Park

The kids making a fire. J thought were going camping and needed a fire to roast hot dogs and mashmallows! He even carried a BIG stick all the way down from our hike to put onto his fire.

We hiked up to Cunningham Falls.

Canoe rides

Rocking the boat for the boys.
It tipped over.
A rescure was in order.

Fun in the Sun

The Beach at Fenwick Island in Delaware was just perfect.
We had some calm water moments followered by HUGE waves - that went over our kids heads.

Fun moments to remember:
-Tom trying to teach J how to swim with the waves (as picture shows in the top right corner)
-J running away from the waves
-Trying to fill buckets with water to make sand castles
-J requesting the need for his googles so he could see under the water at all the fishes. Then discovery that it was to dark to see anything.
-K rolling in the sand like it was a big grassy hill to go down
-K being a LITTLE sacred of the BIG LOUD waves
-K loved the sand, J loved the water!

Like Mother, Like Daughter
