At Regency Stadium watching the SoMd Blue Crabs

As usual our family manages to stay busy even though we haven't any "plans" on our calendar. This weekend Saturday CJ and I hung out at the house and then headed over to hang out with the Wackerles who were watching their niece and nephew. The kiddie pool was a hit! That evening Eric, CJ, and I went to our first Southern Maryland Blue Crabs baseball game to watch one extra inning, a win, and some great fireworks with the Estoscins. Austin and Colin has a great time playing. CJ was interested and amazed then he got a little scared and after he felt assured enough he changed his mind back to liking the fireworks. Today, Sunday, the Wutkas came over and Sean helped Eric put the frame in place and Corrie, Harrison, CJ, and I hung out and everyone enjoyed some french toast.
I am really looking forward to visiting with my family in Gatlinburg, TN. We leave this week, still trying to see if we can push up our departure time.
Jumping around with our past adventures: went boating with the Campbells and CJ took a nice nap while we floated at Chapel Point, we celebrated Eric's birthday by going to Smoke & Barrel in Adams Morgan, DC where they have BBQ and Bourbon. Just a few things Eric loves! Our friends Pat and Bernadette, Annie and Nolan joined us and we had a LONG dinner which ended with Skee Ball! AWESOME! There was a visit with Jen and Arianna, CJ and Ari spent a lot of time copying each other (see photos). We opened our backyard pool, and discovered the outer wall has a slow leak, but it is still a lot of fun to play in! The Wackerles came over for dinner and a bike ride, it was great to see Connor and Colin had a blast and Vivi showed off her princess bike.

Our list of things to do this summer:
Travel to the Midwest for the 4th-White Sox Game, Hanging with the Strzyz Clan, Brookfield Zoo, Hanging with Johnson/Kohrs/Gordon
Washington Nationals Game
NOVA Brewfest
Shenandoah Tubing
Addams Family @ The Kennedy Center
Teaching the 'Teaching the Gifted Course' for two weeks

Sad to see that this is the end of the season for Mad Men, what a season this was.
Just saw an advertisement on AMC for Walking Dead Season 3, OMG!!!!! Cannot wait for that!

Things we did this weekend

This weekend I left on a school field trip to NYC and Six Flags Great Adventure with the 8th graders from my school. It was a very busy and exhausting trip but everything went smoothly and I got to ride 2 of the rides at Six Flags Great Adventure. It was great! I got home late Saturday night and fell asleep while Eric was talking to me. How embarrassing! Saturday Eric took CJ to the FLW Tournament at the National Harbor, they had a lot of fun. Eric and CJ even got to catch a trout! Eric said it was super cool to be soo close to the professionals. Sunday we got up, went to the gym, got our gear ready and we took a ride on the rail trail using our WeeRide for CJ. He had a blast riding along. He spent the last half of the trip "steering" the bike and making crashing sounds describing how we were crashing. What a boy. After the ride we prepared for the Joint Services Air Show at Andrews Air Force Base. CJ and Eric really enjoyed watching the Blue Angels perform. Colin told his story to Grandma and Grandpa Chase with great emotion and excitement describing the events, shared that it was loud-the planes were going to crash-they were fast-and flew upside down. It was super cute.
