Been spending lots and lots of time here: www.kcassens.smugmug.com
Take a look.. lots of new pictures.
Steph's dance recital last Saturday went very well. Steph really loved it. She told Nana "if I couldn't perform.. I just don't know what I'd do!!" Nana, Uncle Richie, Aunt Chrisie and Dilynn came to the recital. Dad was back on Long Island sick unfortunately. Hope you are feeling better soon dad! Jeff and Chris had a playoff baseball game at the same time. Steph handled that better than I expected. They will have to watch the video tape.
The baseball dudes lost their game, but Chris still manages to have fun. He got to pitch, catch, play shortstop and first (I think). He and Jeff came up with a "code" while he was pitching so Jeff could tell him what kind of pitch to throw.. he thought that was way cool.
Jeff and Chris left this morning for the 5th grade whale watch. They do this every year. The whole 5th grade goes on "whale watch". They actually visit a salt marsh, a plantation, go on a boat ride and then a second whale boat. Today was salt marsh. He called a little while ago and talked non-stop. I think that translates to "he's having a great time". He and Jeff are in a cabin with all of Chris' best buds in his class. Jeff knows the dads so they should all have fun. So far I hear one teacher stole the S'mores from the other teachers class. And Jeff was accused of turning "starting a campfire" into a competitive sport :-)
Steph is loving gymnastics still. She is now almost doing a "back tuck". If you don't know what that is, you're lucky.. don't Google it, you don't want to know.
Today Steph and I went out to ride bikes. Next Friday the whole third grade goes on their annual 18 mile bike ride (with a parent!, that's me). Steph has not ridden her bike in a very, very long time. She learned how to ride it 2 years ago, then got a new bigger bike, and has not really ridden it much in 2 years. She (and I) were not looking forward to this practice. But typical of this daredevil. In the hour we rode, she went from whiney and grump and "I can't do this", to speeding as fast as she could so she could slam on her brakes and make skid marks.
Well, back to photos here.. Chris informed me he is taking lots of photos for me at whale watch. He listed everything he took photos of: "hermit crabs, hermit crab holes, rocks, marshes...." I asked him to take a few people pictures too :-)
Have a great Wed!
