Pretty Awesome kids, but she is still not impressed...

A new tradition..

Every year, we do it, it is called tradition

Trying to get some alone time for daddy was difficult on this trip except for the 7 one hour runs and 7 two hours naps.

Dean on the raft. Luke on the ghetto raft

Luke frustrated that he can’t put words out on the board hit submit to see if words are real or not….”but that how you play on words with friends”. Team of Lulu was quick to point out, that they were not friends it was scrabble the old fashion way. Lulu , Mia and Dean eventually won . Pop Pop made a critical mistake in the end, again.

Charlotte wasn’t allowed in the cool pool.

Felicia has four kids, these are them.

Mia wears 300 spf. Felicia wears butter, sometimes margarine.

So determined that mia. Don’t tell her that it isn’t an Olympic sport.

The ladies of the Jersey Shore. Snookie and the gang are not ladies...

Every year we get a brad sighting, this year he is not on the cover. Brad what gives?

Mommy makes them do it. They don’t want to do it, it is written on their face…

15 minutes to dig and bury

4 minutes to dig and uncover

1 minutes of daddy’s attempt to clean

1 hour and 43 minutes of mommy trying to clean every last particle…

Enter Sandman

Makalya is not impressed. If she met me 15 years ago, she might have been. But if I met her 15 years ago, well that is just weird.

This synchronized swimming duo did not medal.

Ta-Da!

Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves , fun song.
Luke and Pop getting pounded by the waves, fun to watch.

They didn’t make the USA Gymtastics team, nor the Avalon Gymnastics team. 

Apparently someone got a picture of this. I was just digging a big hole to help everyone enjoy the beach and at this angle it looks almost like I was…anywho it was a bad angle.

Everyone dance like your mom.

The boys repeatedly tried to push Mia into the ocean but after a few takes , we got it 

Sale at Pennies, 2 for 1 baby!

No clue who all of these people are.

Dean tried the How ya doin, then realized they were his sister and cousin..then slowly moved his hands away.

They don’t want anybody to recognize them

Truman and Chloe, don't look at the camera, if you do you don't get ice cream.

Luke Dean and Mia look at the camera and you get ice cream.

Felicia stay out of the picture and I will buy you ice cream

My next book. How to parent using just Ice Cream 

At 9 Luke still does not understand how to use the bathroom.

1. Door closed. 

2. Pull pants down. 

3. Pick up seat 

4. Find something good to read.

0-4.

 Not two Mia’s, the world can’t handle two mia’s.

The boys took off their shirts because they heard that COPS was going to be taping in the area.

Why are dentists closed on July 4^th? Because they are on floats throwing candy at kids. 

The triple lindy with a cannonball finish.

Franklin and Locthe have medals, Mia and Dean have Lulu…and towels.

Luke is pointing out where the stripper pole will go.

Dean thinks a mirror on the ceiling in better, both don’t realize this is our kitchen….not our bedroom.

Ok, but luke what is the girl basketball for?

Because my dad says I should study more and tells me that I won’t even be good enough to get into the WNBA if i try. We are going to show him!

After the picture it took lulu 14 seconds to return to straight up position It took pop pop 19 seconds.

After the picture it took luke,dean and mia less than 1 second. Daddy’s was standing up in this picture…oh the posture the posture…

Second place is great but it ain’t first. Good job guys, we will get em next year.

Coach Goldberg our parents paid for US to be on the team, I don’t think you can put us on waivers or trade us to the Phillies as propects for a star.
