Labor Day Fun

We had some technical difficulties inflating the pool. Johnny was determined and the shop vac did the trick.

The First Annual Jacksons Creek Boat Parade.

Tad's favorite seat (poor Abby). Hanging with Claire at a Labor Day BBQ.

Tad enjoyed cooling off in his deluxe baby pool, a gift from Joseph & Erica that Tad has loved this summer. This Labor Day Weekend, we participated in the First Annual Jacksons Creek Boat Parade, organized by our neighbors that live on the lake across the street. We won "Most Imaginative" with our Luau theme boat. The parade was followed by a fun BBQ and we look forward to this event in years to come.

August in New England

Sneak attack.

My mug has a few scratches from my adventures.

Tad meets the alpacas. He wanted to bring one home for the frenchies, along with the nice alpaca farmer he befriended.

Aunt Jeannie and Tad ride the train. Choo choo!

Pat the bunny. Live.

Watching the mowers with Pop.

Petting the friendly goose. They have a lot of fake animals at this place...

The golfers.

We headed north to Grammy & Pop's house the first week of August and had a wonderful time, complete with trips to the beach and local fair, as well as catching up with Aunt Jeannemarie. Tad adores Aunt Jeannie and, as usual, she spoiled him rotten. The weather was perfect and it was non-stop excitement for Tad, from the early morning trips to watch the mowers with Pop to rides on the golf cart. Grammy taught Tad how to say "uh oh" (frequently pronounced "oh uh" by Tad) and cockadoodledoo. We had to purchase a rooster for our kitchen upon returning home and are still working on explaining that "oh uh" isn't an appropriate response when Tad intentionally launches food from his highchair (the frenchies have been packing on the pounds much to their delight). Grammy spoiled the rest of us with several gourmet meals, including a farewell feast of lobster and corn - one of the many things I miss about New England summers. Thank you for a great trip.

Tad's first trip to the carwash

If only we had the audio. Tad was wide eyed and very excited.
