Summer wrap up in pictures

Ok, I have been a really bad blogger, but it is only because you guys keep me so busy!!  So here we go, your summer in many pictures and few words! 
Maky, you ended your school year with the first grade author's tea. It was so fun to see your journal and your writing.  You did such a great job and we were so proud of you!!

Excellant job in first grade

Alek you were selected for the all star game.  It was alot of fun to watch!

Maks got some batting action in.

Daddy was super proud of your spring season!
 And even Big Mike came to watch the all star game.
Your pitching has improved so much since last fall!
Proud of our awesome writer!!

Alek you also made the 9u tournament team.  You were so pumped.
You pitched alot.  It stressed mommy out, but you seemed to thrive on it!

Your tournament team got to travel to Cooperstown NY and go to the Baseball Hall of Fame.  It was a blast!
Maky stayed back with Grammom and Poppy and Chief and was spoiled for the weekend.

 Of course we had to stop for any Pete Rose, Reds, and Phillies displays.
Love the Phanatic!

You and mommy outside the Hall of Fame.

Of course we were up there for a tournament.  The Hawks did so well! We were so proud of you guys. You battled back and made for some exciting games!

And or course you pitched alot and mommy hid her eyes.  But you guys made it to the semis, it was exciting and a great way to end an awesome trip!

Way to go Hawks!!

We enjoyed back yard time and lots of fun in the sun.  Maks-you love to jump around the pond looking for frogs.

Maks, you also made Nana so happy by visiting her after she hurt her knee.  I think you entertained everyone there with your handstands and walking on your hands!

We also got to go to the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs game with the baseball league. You were both selected to be on the field with the players during the National Anthem.  It was pretty cool!

Maks-you participated in the school districts tri-athlon.  It was a longer course this year and you had to stop for your inhaler, but you battled and hung in there. I was so proud of you!!

You guys love the water and we are thankful for friends and neighbors with pools!

You spent the summer with Jessie instead of going to day camp.  You spent many days at the swim club and just relaxing. 
Alek-you did baseball camps and Maks you did a cartoon drawing camp.  Your artistic skills amaze me!!

For our summer vacation we went to the Outer Banks again, Nags Head this time and we got to bring Chief!

Chief was very afraid of the ocean and pretty much any water other than what he could drink.

We had an awesome week, just playing on the beach and relaxing around the pool/.

The weather was perfect, it couldn't have been any better.

You guys got lots of great boogie board action!

You are definitely both part fish, or shark I should say!

You love catching the perfect wave!

Maks you LOVE to dig big holes in the sand and you always recruit daddy for some extra muscle!

Alek, you are like me, lets just relax and catch some rays, let someone else do the work!

Chief loved to bark at you when you were in the pool.  One time he even fell in and almost scared himself to death!

You loved doing your silly jumps into the pool.

The Running Man!

A trip to OBX wouldn't be complete without some ghost crab hunting. The one night we saw alot of them.

Jeanette's Pier was pretty cool, fun watching people fish and checking out the people getting ready for the surfing tournament.

Silly boys!

Alek you took a great pic of us!

This was probably your favorite night. Go kart racing!

Maks we think you had a dud of a car, but you hung in there!

Chief loves the sand, but stay away from the waves--tooscarey!

On our way back from Nags Head we stopped at Pop and Noni's for our annual Labor Day weekend at the beach.  It was so awesome your cousins could be there too!

You guys had a blast together and I know how much Pop and Noni love having you all there!

We even got to watch turtles hatching during our picnic.  I think we saw a total of 12 crawl out.  It was probably one of the coolest things I have seen.

Fun in the bay, you guys all love swimming and playing on the sand bar.

 It was a great weekend and the perfect way to end the summer!
Crazy Chief and his soccer ball!

Maks you were trying to coax Chief into the hot tub.  He just wants to drink it.

Alek, forgot to sneek this in earlier, but you went back to Phillies camp and one the batting champion award this year! Too cool!!

What a great summer it was, lots of sports and lots of fun in the sun.

And you know what happens next.....BACK TO SCHOOL!!
4th grade and 2nd grade--here's hoping for a great school year!

In the mean time we can still have fun outside with our new ripsticks!

And Maky you started hockey again. You are in the instructional program and you are doing so well. 

So guys that was summer in a nutshell.   Life is still busy, between school, baseball and hockey, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
Here's hoping Mommy can keep up with this journal for you guys a little better!!
Love you guys!
