Very Long Week, Nice Ending

After two weeks of Cooking Camps, busy weeks, family in town and a trip to Hershey Park, this was the end of it all.

Here we were on the MonoRail that takes us around Hershey Park.

It's always a fun time to see the park on enjoy the ride.

Hopefully as the Summer draws to an end next month, the girls will remember all the fun things they did this summer.

Hershey Park

Toms Company Picnic is allways at Hershey Park. We always have a great time. This year was very exciting for Ceci, she has graduated from a Recee's cup to a Hershey Bar. Being a Hershey bar allows her to ride on rollercoasters. WOW, and she actually wants to ride them.

Nicole was a Twizzler again this year. She does not like Rollercoasters so she usally rides other rides or just watches.

So as you measure up to see what you are they give you a treat, Nicole a Twizzler, Ceci a mini Hershey bar, so of course Tom wants on, so there he is a Jolly Rancher.

Uncle Billy And Laura

Billy and Laura came from Oregon to attend a Conference in Philadelphia this weekend.

The girls absolutly love their uncle Billy, and when he comes to visit they don't let him get very far from them. They are very lucky that he lets them climb all over him, in and out of water.

Tom will be going out to Oregon with Polly to visit Billy in a week in a half for his Graduation.

Very Exciting.

Last Swim Team Practice

Nicole and Ceci had their last Swim Team Pracrice at the "Y" last Wednesday.

They loved their coaches, and really grew in their techniques this summer.

Hopefully we get their Summer coaches for the Winter Swim Team.

Ceci Loved swimming Butterfly. She has learned how to propperly swim Butterfly, but somehow still looks like a Dolphin. It's tooo cute.

Nicole's doing Free in this picture. She got 2nd place in her last meet in this stoke.

Gigi & Mike

So yesterday the girls and I went to get fitted for Gigi's and Mike's wedding (December 5th). Crazy but time is quickly creeping up, a little over 5 months away. The girls are super excited, the dresses are beutiful and the evening will be wonderfull.

Now the last one to get married is Merrill. Oh Merrill, will he ever?

Sisterly Love

So after a lonely weekend without the girls I realized how lucky they are to have each other. I have to remind myself during the bickering and arguing that they truly love each other, and no matter how much I question somethings they may do, I realize that they are turning into wonderfull girls.

This weekend the girls slept over their Grandma Dinora's on Friday night, and then at their Grandma Polly's on Saturday night, and yes Tom and I actually went out to dinner, not Home Depot.

They are very lucky to have their grandmas so close by to be able to just "Hang Out at Grandma's", we are gratefull for them every day.

Girls First Phillies Game

Tom and I took the girls to their first Phillies game.

We went with a group from the girls golf team.

It turned out to be a great night for a game.

Here the girls are playing at the kids zone.

This game they had to run in place to get their

Phillie Fanatic to run the bases.

It was a good way to kill time before the game started.

The girls were watching batting practice.

They were hopeing that a ball would come their way.

No such luck.

The Phillies are currently in 1st place,

even though they lost last night.

We were in the nose bleeder section. Top left level, middle section.

We had heard that there isn't a bad seat in the house,

and it was true.

We had a great view, and a nice breeze.

It was 90' last night and really sunny.
