Tiger Cub!!!!


Guess who's a Tiger Cub and guess who's a Tiger Cub co-leader???

September Lake Anna trip with Madison, Reid and Brooks


All the cute kids!  Bubbie (aka. Reid) gives the weekend two thumbs up!


On the count of three...


Boys fishing.


Morning fall fog = time to pull out the RC cars.  After the fog lifted we had glassy lake conditions perfect for barefoot skiing (Mr. Rob was the only one crazy enough to barefoot), salomon skiing, knee boarding and wake boarding.

Happy 7th Birthday Anderson!


Grandma Ann and Grandad came to try some of Anderson's Mindcraft birthday cake.



Who had more fun playing with Anderson's Beyblades???  


Anderson completed this lego castle from Hommie and Dabi in two quick days with only a little assistance from Grandad.

Lego Philadelphia Brickfest Live! Happy 7th Birthday Anderson!


We drove up to Phili today to kick off Anderson's 7th birthday celebration.  Here's our picture with Emmet from the Lego movie.


It was soo cool, they had several "free" play tables with tons of legos that you could assemble and add to the bigger lego group table.  Here we are following directions to assemble a life sized pirate.  Everyone at Brickfest made a section that was fully assembled by the end of the session.


Another "free" assemble table.


Anderson's addition to the big table.


Brooke's addition to the big table.



Lego derby car races..


Oh yeah, the WHOLE family made a car to race...NO we are not competitive at all!


On your marks, get set...


GO!


Soooo,..Daddy's car came in first place BUT lost part of it's top under the finish line (if you look really close you can see that his car has fallen off the track, is lying on it's side and some top pieces are broken off on the left hand side off the track), Anderson's came in a close second followed by Brooke...and yes, that is Mom's not quite across the finish line.  Hummm...

1st day of school at HES!


!st grade and 4th grade at HES!


Doesn't quite look like the CTES bike rack.  Looks like we have to do some bike riding recruiting to do here!  Watch out HES, the VLAUNS are in town!!!!

It's ALL about Labor Day at LKA!


We weren't ALL able to make it this year to LKA for Labor Day Weekend, but we sure had fun!  We missed you Uncle Leigh and EmmaLeigh!!!!


Grandad's attack!  Watch out!


What are those boys up to?  I see water guns loading...


The armada battle!


Oopies...the winds were blistering and a little too much for the pirate boat - yep, poor girl was de-masted.  NO ONE WAS HURT and Grandad says she'll be back in the water next spring.


Hummm...so her trailer is done as well for the season.  Good thing we have two trailers and some smart adults to bring her back to dry dock.
