HO-HO-HO from Sean and family. Now go Elf Yourself!
WASHINGTON DC
We made a weekend jaunt down to the nation's capitol. Sean's dad had some business down there at the Newseum. But there was plenty of time for sight-seeing and walking around the monuments. Even met up with cousin Sarah, a freshman at American University.And whew, it was really really hot and sticky.
Here's a slide show of pictures from the trip.
4TH GRADE
Sean started 4th grade today, moving onto the John Y. Dater Elementary School. His teacher is Mr. Watson. Hard to believe summer's over. Even harder to believe he's in 4th grade. Good luck this year Sean, have a great school year.
CAMPFIRE 2008!
The Ramsey dad's took the boys on a weekend camping trip to Lake George, for the 2nd annual Labor Day weekend Campfire. Sean had a blast hanging out with his buddies toasting marshmallows over the evening fire, swimming & boating in Lake George, and sleeping on the ground in a tent without having shower or change into PJ's. Here's a look at some photos from the weekend, posted on Snapfish.
MOUNTAIN CREEK
Sean and Dad went to Mountain Creek water park on Monday. It was so much fun. Water slides, crazy rides, cannonball shots, and death-defying jumps.
<<< This is Sean being shot out of the Cannonball!
See his highlight video from the day.
I am TIGER FRANKLIN
The Ramsey Junior Golf season ended today, and Sean finished up the year strong. Tonight was the annual dinner, and to Sean's surprise -and delight- he took home two runner-up trophies.Sean came in 2nd place in the 6-hole club championship for 9-year olds. His friend Daniel Botta came in first. And Sean was the runner-up for the season average.
Here's a video from the dinner.
MONTAUK -The End
We spent our summer vacation on the tip of the south fork of Long Island Montauk, here are the pics. Lot's of beach, biking, lobster, and ice cream. We have not vacationed here in a few years, it was good to be back on eastern LI -the finest beaches anywhere.

Here's a look back at the final clap-out. Congrats Sean!
School's out for summer...

The Badgers Ramsey Rec baseball team finished up the season strong. The kids learned some baseball skills, won a few games, and had a really fun season. Thanks to coach Sciubba and all the other parents who pitched in.
SEAN'S 9th BIRTHDAY
Can u believe The Tiger is now nine? Where did the time go. Sean we love you more than you could possibly imagine. Happy number nine. Sean picked the Macaroni Grill for his birthday dinner.MOTHER'S DAY
Today was Mother's Day, a changeable day that started out nice, so we took a bike trip over to the Celery Farm in Allendale.
Here's a link to my friend Jim Wright's blog about the nature preserve, The Celery Farm & Beyond. There's some great posts on there, and Jim is a local expert on bird and nature, including a web-cam set up in an owl's nest.
Tisdale Rodeo
3rd graders at Sean's school took part in the annual Bike Rodeo - a day where kids all rode bikes to school and received bicycle safety instructions from the Ramsey police.
Disney 2008
We made a short visit to Disney in April, here's a look at some of the fun. The Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Epcot Center all were fantastic.
A LIVE REPORT FROM WASHINGTON
Sean's Mom and Dad played news reporters at the Newseum Grand Opening Gala in Washington DC, and made an interesting discovery. Take a look.
Sean's Nana & PopPop joined him for the Grand-friend's Tea at Tisdale. His mom and some of the other parents decorated the school gym with balloons and the 3rd graders served tea and pastry to their grandparents. Sean's other grandparents live in Florida and could not be there. It was a special day.
