fighting crime

Yep. That's us, wearing superhero capes. This was taken on father's day this year, at Magic Mountain. We surprised Tony with a trip to ride roller coasters and they were giving away capes as prizes in the Midway. We had a blast, splitting up - Tony and Maggie to ride the big roller coasters, Sally and I on the roller coasters with training wheels. I think Sally's ready to ride with the big boys now which means I don't have to ride roller coasters anymore, which is just fine with me!

Fourth of july

So ... it's been awhile, but I'm hoping to get back to keeping this blog.

This year we went to my parents for the fourth, Maggie was at Interlochen so it was just Tony, Sally and I. We had a great time! John and family, as well as Sue and family were there so it was a cousinpalooza. The weather was gorgeous, so the girls had a lemonade stand with the help of Matt and Kate, we played at the park and the beach, and then, of course, there was the parade and festivities on the fourth. This year the girls were disappointed that they didn't get very much candy, the problem being that we stand at the end of the parade route and by the time it comes to us, everyone's out. Oh well, we made up for that sweet shortage later with 2 funnel cakes. here are a few pictures of the kids doing sparklers in the front yard after the fireworks.
