Campfire Medleys

Here are some final clips from the past two weeks in Michigan. One campfire medley and one rockin' old folks home performance.

Spring Hill Camps

Hello Mudder; Hello Fudder ... Here are a few clips of Andrew and cousin Jacob being dropped off and picked up from Summer camp two weeks ago. They did "extreme sports" in Copper Country at Spring Hill Camps. No footage of Abby and Emily this year, but they went last week (they did horses in New Frontiers).

Lake Miramichi

Here are some video clips of the kids having fun at the Ott Cabin in Lake Miramichi.



(Starring Abby, Andrew; cousins Emily, Erica, Jacob, Chloe, and Claire)

I Will Pump You Up!

Remember the old Saturday Night Live clip Pumping Up with Hanz and Franz? Here is Andrew's impersonation (compliments of a powerful hot tub jet).

Indianapolis, Indiana

Last weekend we all went to Indianapolis for Abby's Indianapolis Feis competition. Saturday night we stayed downtown at Residence Inn on the Canal. It was pretty fun. After the competition (Abby didn't do so well) we went for a paddle boat ride and then to an Indianapolis Indians baseball game (AAA affiliate for the Pittsburgh Pirates).

This Week in Baseball

Holy Cow! Now that Andrew is playing baseball again, here is our version of the classic TV show -- This Week In Baseball (otherwise known as TWIB). Andrew's first game was last week Thursday. They won 10-0 or something like that. Andrew was 2-3 hitting and he played third base and second base. Like last year, it's kid-pitch for four pitches and then coach-pitch after that (if no hit or out within four pitches). As long as his hair is this Summer (even more so than last year), he's sort of like a blonde-headed Magglio Ordonez.

Black Belt Testing - Level 4

Andrew tested (again) for his next level black belt. For a replay of his last test, click here. For a replay of last year's test, click here.
