Grandchildren that is! Last Friday I boarded a Southwest plane headed to Baltimore with Grandma Peg and Pop Pop Ed to go see Lily's ballet recital. After a lengthy 2 hour delay we were on our way and arrived in Dover, Delaware around 6:30 pm. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that we would be treated to soccer games on Saturday morning as well as the recital in the evening. Lily's team kicked some serious butt scoring 19 goals and allowing only 1. 17 of the goals were scored by one of the girls on her team, not Lily, and the other 2 goals came from the same girl's brother. The lone goal scored by the opponent was while Lily was goal keeper. Lily explained to her mom that the girl on her team told her to let the other team score. (of course this goes against everything in my being, but I remained silent. Trish, however, did not). Luke's game was much more evenly matched and very enjoyable. Luke played some great defense and as goalie he made a terrific (miraculous) save and their team won 6-4.

Saturday evening was the long awaited ballet recital. Well, not every one was so excited, but most of us were. The guys don't get as excited because once Lily is done they are ready to go. Most of my pics are "illegal" videos, but I don't feel too bad because I also buy the legal video sold by the ballet company. But it doesn't come out for several weeks and I like to have photos right now! I'll post the one where Lily is featured in the front. It was my favorite!

On Sunday, Grandma Peg and I took Luke and Lily to see the movie, Norm of the North. Luke was not happy after the movie when he was asking Siri, on our way home, to give him the Seahawks score to learn that they were losing 20-0. His afternoon was one of heartbreak when the Seattle Seahawks were unable to come from behind to win. We did convince him to go to his baseball clinic at Wesley College so I was able to see him working on his hitting. He did insist on taking off his Seattle jersey.
We flew home late Sunday night and arrived back in Columbus a little before midnight. Tuesday after I worked at the zoo and took some Otterbein students on a tour through North America, I packed a bag and drove to Cincinnati to watch Evie in her swim class. It was a great night because she graduated from her Goldfish class to the Jellyfish. I stayed the night which turned out to be a good thing as the daycare was on a delay and many of the school districts closed in the area so I watched the kids so Sara didn't have to miss work. Kudos to my friends that babysit on a regular basis! I was exhausted after 1 day. Nope, not for me!

Lily will come on stage midway, you have to "wait for it".
