Picked the boys up at 6.30 Friday evening and came home for a little while. Left to pick Mary Ann up at Phillie airport around 8.30 as her flight came in at 9.40. For once everything went OK, no delays so we were home by 10.30. Took down a healthy salad for MA to eat on the way home and a cup of tea.
Saturday got up reasonably early and went to the gym. Went to bagel shop on way home and then we were out and about looking at 4-5 venues for wedding reception in the area. They went from about 11 to 3.30. Saw some good places and some not so good places. Seeing some more at the end of this month next time MA is back and then will make a decision.
Got home about 5pm (after stopping for ice-cream to reward the boys who were very good all day). Picked up the mail and Kieran's end of year report was there.
Science = A+
Math = A+
English = A+
Spanish = A+
Social Studies = A+
He obviously gets his brains from his DAD. Am very proud of him and told him so when showed him the report.
Saturday night MA and the boys cooked a very nice Father's Day dinner as we were going to be out and about all day on Sunday. Came off very well. Used some of the fresh basil that MA and the boys planted behind the house much to Nicholas' enjoyment. He looks as if he may be the chef in the family as he really seems to enjoy cooking. Then had a quick game of Bingo and introduced MA to the joys of a couple of episodes of Blackadder.
Sunday woke up a bit late and made breakfast. It was then time to pack up a picnic and off to the beach (which is about 40 minutes away. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time there. We stayed about 4 hours and sunscreen was applied liberally (much to MA's chargin).
Came home and dropped the boys off then MA and I went out for a quiet drink and a couple of snacks.
Dropped her at Phillie airport at the ungodly hour of 5.30 this morning.
Also finished Nicholas' blanket last weekend which much help from MA. My first ever knitting project. It is a little known fact that when Persia became Islamic, they started to put mistakes into the rugs they made on purpose as only Allah is perfect. Well Allah would be very pleased with this blanket!!! Nicholas likes it though and that is the important thing. Next project is a sweater for Nicholas which will hopefully be ready by the winter. Picture of the blanket is above.
Attached are some photos of the recent climb up Mt Sourland and the trip to the beach

Fantastic report Kieran - obviously Dad's harsh words at the last report re Spanish had an impact! Impressed with the blanket - wasn't aware you were a Canterbury supporter though!
All this travelling - do you have any intention of living in the same city once you are wed??!!
