Summer Fun Week 5

Make it Monday

We started our week of with a splash - and went swimming with Bridget and Emily.  

We even managed to get in a picnic before the rain began.

In the afternoon, the boys and I went grocery shopping with their lists 

and came home to make some yummy treats.

First Recipe - Double Chocolate Brownies

 chocolate was delicious and EVERYWHERE!

 Then, the boys made their own giant pizza for dinner.

Take A Trip Tuesday

Our orignal trip for today was squashed by the wet wet weather.  When I asked the boys what they wanted to do, they asked to go back to the Museum of York County and especially the planetarium.

We were surprised to arrive and find a new exhibit about the Ice Age - and this big monster!

After an hour of exploring, we went to the planetarium show where the boys were able to answer lots of questions about the planets - impressing their mommy!

We then finished the rest of the museum before heading home and having dinner at the pool.

Wet and Wild Wednesday

The boys and I spent the morning swimming with Jenny, Nathan, Lia and Emma.

 Sully and Emma even braved the giant slide!

 When Gill got home, he and the boys made paper airplanes.

Love this picture of Finnegan and his flying plane!

Think About It Thursday

We spent the morning taking Gill to the airport so he can go to NJ and help his parents.

In the afternoon, Patrick and Finnegan attended a library program by the Nature Lady while Sully played on the computer and read books.  

 

After dinner, the boys and I cuddled up on the couch (with treats) and watched Despicable Me.

Fun with Friends Friday

This morning we went to Emma's house and created art with paints and clay.

After the artwork, we were joined by the 3 Callow Boys 

to play in the playground and go to lunch.

 In the afternoon, the boys played golf with PopPop

We stayed at Nannie and PopPop's house for Pizza and a Clone Wars Movie. 

Saturday

This morning we picked up Mom and Dad and headed to 

the Schiele Museum for the Battle of The Bots

The boys battled each other with hexbugs before going to see the pro's

 In the small arena, robots under 3lbs battled in the plexi-glass cube.

 The boys stood up front and watched over 10 robot  battles.

 Then, we went to an exhibit where 2 teams of high-school robotics groups showed their creations.  Both teams built robots the were designed to throw frisbees.  

Patrick and Finnegan were given the opportunity to work the robots

 Patrick and Sully loaded the frisbees into the robot

 Finn and Patrick worked the controls

and, in this picture, Finn launched the frisbee while Patrick caught it.

 After, we went to the large arena to watch the big robots play hockey!

it was 3 on 3 hockey, with a puck and everything- 

 the kids got to get up close the bots and really enjoyed the game.

 In the evening, we went to dinner and a movie with friends.

It's been a busy week - and next week will be even more action-packed.

So much fun!
