Seneca!


The kids and I are taking a little vacation this week... we drove up to Seneca, South Carolina to visit our buds the Albers. We have all been having fun just relaxing and hanging out together. This evening we went out on Lake Keowee to watch Tommy as he practiced for his upcoming wakeboard competition. We are having a blast together as usual!

Flunk, and we deport you.

OK, so I had fun taking the "what year are you" quiz over at cbythesea... so in honor of Memorial Day, see if YOU can pass this US Citizenship test!

Be sure to post your results in the comments section. We promise not to make fun of you. And for the record, I got 10 out of 10 correct. But it's OK if you don't do as well. Really.

One of the last things a Safe Start student has to do is demonstrate his survival skills while wearing street clothes. Statistically, children that accidentally fall into water are NOT wearing a swimsuit!

"All right... let's break someone's clavicle! On three!"


Well, Jack decided to kick off his summer vacation in the ER!

Things got a little rough on the inflatable slide he was playing on while attending John's company picnic. He says he felt something crack, then pain. He said, "I think this is a really big injury!" Xrays confirmed a broken collarbone. Jack was actually relieved to hear that it was broken - he was afraid he had dislocated his shoulder and would have to have it re-located. He will have to wear a sling for about 2 weeks, and will probably be completely healed in about 6 weeks.
He is doing great and was very brave!

Blue and Gold.

Last night we attended Pack 691's Blue and Gold Banquet, where Jack and his Denmates crossed over to the Webelos. Jack also received an award from the police department, recognizing his participation in the Longwood 9/11 memorial dedication ceremony.
It was a fun year being a Bear, and we would like to thank Den Mother and auntie, Karen Mancuso, for singlehandedly making it a great year for the boys!

Something about a week in the Keys...

that makes you want to go back to the Keys.
















Or, if that is not possible, start up an aquarium.
