Mini golf anyone?

Yes, more mini golf. I think to make up for the 3 or more weeks of straight baseball and nothing but baseball this summer.

The Little Prince just missed this putt. He has been doing great at mini golf these last few times. However, I managed to actually win this course. I think it may be my first time ever!

After the game, the Little Prince and His Majesty enjoyed a baby cone. They are pretty big cones to be baby size. Wonder how big the large cones are!!?!!

Can't decide chocolate or vanilla, pick twist

Summer is almost over

So hard to believe! But it is true. We are over half way finished the last week of summer vacation. So, of course, we are cramming everything in this week that we can.

Tuesday, we had lunch with His Majesty. We ate quickly and took a short walk along the lake. The Little Prince and His Majesty are deep in conversation as they walk along. Care to guess what they are discussing? The pros of using a wooden bat for fall ball and how to convince Mom that it is a necessary purchase.

His Majesty's parents celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary on Tuesday as well. We took them to Ruby Tuesday for dinner. The Little Prince enjoyed his steak and the in-laws were served a red velvet cupcake.

 

Wednesday, we took our 3rd annual trip to Knoebel's with our St Stephens friends. The girls brought a cake to congratulate the boys on their great All-Star season.

 

Good job Aiden & Morgan

After 2 hours in the pool, they dried off and went on some rides. The Little Prince doesn't like the fast rides so he and I went our own way and did things like pitching, the Sky View and the Dog Pounder.


His fastest pitch was 45 mph

 

Puppy won at the Dog Pounder

It was nice to spend time with friends we did not get to see all summer.

 

Best friends since Kindergarten

The most excitement Thursday was the Little Prince losing another tooth! We still have Friday, Saturday and Sunday left. Wonder what we will get into?

Last Summer Lunch

Last Thursday, the Little Prince and I had lunch at Ruby Tuesday. While waiting for our food, a crayon bunny appeared at our table.

With

Juggling with bouncy balls. Next to the food counter is a bouncy ball machine. The Little Prince split his 6 quarters with Aiden and they each got 3 bouncy balls.

Versus

Ice cream versus milkshake. A last visit to Heisler's Dairy Farm for the Little Prince and his best friend. It was a beautiful day all around. It was sunny and breezy. We got a discount on mini golf. There was no line at the lunch counter and the ice cream was delicious.

Unlike

The Little Prince has a beautiful smile, not unlike his sweet grandma. This is one of my favorite photos from her visit last Saturday.

To

Hats off to Steve Carlton, Phillies Hall of Fame Pitcher.

Since

We have been looking forward to this day since June. On Saturday, Mom spent the day with her two babies. Charlie and I both left our kids at home. This is the first time we ever got to do this with Mom and it was wonderful. She bought us lunch and ice cream cones at the New York Sandwich Shoppe. The food was excellent and the company more so.

Regardless

He carries it with pride, regardless of how silly it looks. Read about the infamous Hello Kitty backpack and pink boa by clicking here.

Past

The Little Prince had to putt the ball past the row homes to get it in the hole. We all had a great time at the Franklin Square mini golf course.

On

This was one of our favorite holes on this golf course.

Next to

The Little Prince and his dad got their picture taken next to the new statue of Harry Kalas at Citizen's Bank Park. We had tickets for a 7:05 pm game. It started to lightning and thunder around 8. After a long, long rain delay, the game resumed at 10:20pm and finished with a Phillies' win at midnight. Fun times! Glad it was not a school night.

Minus

All the fun of the baseball game minus the constrictions of seat numbers. There is a big grassy area in left field where you can lay out your blanket and watch the game. Or get up and run around.

Like

These mushrooms look like little UFOs. The Little Prince and I had lunch with his dad today and spied these cool looking mushrooms outside his office building. We did not add them to the menu, however.

Last night, my sweet husband and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary with dinner in this restaurant. We had not eaten there in over 10 years. It was just as good as I remembered, although this time we did not save room for fried ice cream. Maybe next visit.

Considering the size of her camera lens, I'm sure she got some good pictures.

The Eagle landed beyond the fence.

We saw this on one of our trips to the Little Prince's tournament. Dad thinks it brought Philadelphia Eagles' new cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha to training camp. Really, that's his name. I thot maybe Dad just sneezed and typed some random letters. It's pronounced "Nadmi Awesome-Wa". Awesome like the Eagles, he says. That remains to be seen.
