Dad Vail Regatta 2010

Alex and I went with Kia to watch the 2010 Dad Vail Regatta on the Schuylkill River.  Kia was on the crew team at UC Irvine and used to compete in this event.  It was neat to see so many different schools from across the country competing in such a neat tournament!

Me and Kia on the way to the races!  It was such a windy day that they had to delay some of the events for an hour!

Fans waiting for the races to begin!

So close!

Hilary's Fur Babies

This weekend Alex and I watched Hilary's kitties while she went home for a high school reunion!  Hilary is fostering four baby kittens who will be going to a new home in the next week.  We were very excited to be able to play with the baby kittens and it is always a pleasure to play with resident kittens, Lacey and Et!

Alex and the boy kittens!

So fluffy and cute!

Mark Knopfler Concert

Uncle Paul had an extra ticket to a Mark Knopfler concert last night, so he decided to bring Alex along!  Alex had a great time and it was a special treat to be able to see Paul!

Phillie Phanatics

Last night we went to a Phillies baseball game!  Danielle's family friend was throwing the first pitch as part of the Tug McGraw Foundation.  The Tug McGraw Foundation is an organization for children and adults with brain tumors to enhance quality of life and support new treatments.  It was started in honor of Tug McGraw (Tim McGraw's dad) who was a pitcher for the Phillies and also a victim of brain cancer.  Tim McGraw's cousin was there to sing the national anthem.  The Phillies lost, but the weather was perfect and the food was awesome!

Picnic basket full of treats!

Pretty glasses from the basket nobody else would drink from :(
