Cape Cod (Part I.)

After almost ten years of living in New England we made our first trip to famous Cape Cod. We were invited to go camping with great new friends we met through the girls dance studio. They are seasoned visitors to the Cape and we couldn't have gone with any better people to introduce us to the Cape and show us what the big fuss is about.

 Our first night we made a trip to a close by beach after a nice dinner at the camp ground. I loved walking on the wooden boardwalks and bridges to get to the beach. I loved all the grass growing in the sand. The last time I saw something like this was on Prince Edward Island and you are not allowed anywhere near it.

 What a great place to take pictures however if only one child will work with you that will have to do. Thanks Emma for being a good sport.

 At least on the way back I got them all for some photo time.

 All four kids on one of the wooden walkways to the beach.

 Silly (with their friend H.)

Just in case you don't know we love beaches.

More Backyard Fun and Soccer

As if we didn't spent too much time on the soccer fields already. The kids enjoying a family soccer game in the back yard, Steiger style.

Emma doing a victory dance. She is only missing a tutu.

 First of all, Fil took these pictures (and he did a great job) but I want to put it on the record I had no knowledge of my lovely stinkers playing a game in flip flops!!!

 Leave it to Emma to protect her shins.

 Jo taking a second to pose for daddy. She is a very good goalie by the way.

 Nate ready to fight play hard.

 Maybe, MAYBE they will be a little tired tonight.

I can always hope.

Soccer, soccer and more soccer

Wondering where we spend most of our time this spring? Wonder no more the Steigers are on the soccer fields most of the time if it is not pouring rain and we love it. The kids get some of their energy out this way.

This season all four kids are on four different teams but three of them have practice at the same time and on the same field so it works out for Fil and I well.

However they still love to play each other in our back yard.

Go team Steiger!!!

Fun in the Backyard in May

My girls having fun in the back yard with their mushroom house.

 Some times they even let the boys in.

 We love sunny days.

Fun in the Park

The kids get to play in the park during Sam's soccer practice (the entire 90 minutes of practice) and they love it.

Emma with crazy hair. It has been to dry here in New England.



Nate no coment here. Doen't he look like he LOVES posing for pictures?



Jo going "down" the slide.



The tire swing was a big hit with Emma.



And daddy can give it a big push.

Soccer Practice

The spring soccer season started for the Steiger household.and are we busy or what. FOUR kiddos playing and practicing!!!

Three practices at one time and on the same field. We could have ask for a better schedule!



Nate being a goofball



Sam is the only one with practice on a different day and he is enjoying his free time.



Emma demonstrating that you can practice your "passe" even in cleats and shinguards.



After practice. Looking good girls!

Growing

Jo ready for a bike ride.

We are still here! The kids are growing like weeds lately. We are busy with finishing up school for this year, testing , soccer practices, games and enjoying all this nice weather we are having. The kiddos are living outside most of the days.

Emma ready for bike ride. Always smiling.



Best friends.
