Travelin' Light

Lil had a good week at school .. her last week before the summer session started. For the kids her age, not much changes between regular session and camp but today did mark the start of water time -- every morning Lil will go to school with her water shoes and bathing suit on for some quality fun with her classmates and lots of water. Day 1 was a raging success, we will keep you updated as the summer goes along.

We spent this past weekend in New Jersey visiting Poppa Syd and Grandma Essie, Great Uncle Jon and Cousin Robin. Grandpa Maurice and Grandma Phyllis were visiting as well. Unfortunately, Great Aunt Paula and Cousin Jenna were away. On Saturday we went to an amazing park called Van Saun park that has a great playground, a carousel and zoo. On Saturday night we celebrated Poppa Syd's 94th Birthday and Father's Day. A good time was had by all. Lily was very well behaved despite her lack of naps ... she is following in her Dad's footsteps and copes well with less sleep.

Sunday we had a nice father's day breakfast at the hotel before heading back home. Lil made me a very cute hand print in clay that is now siting on my desk. On the way back from New Jersey we stopped in Delaware to visit our friends Stacey and John and their son Ian who is six months old. Then we came home and picked up Gypsy from the kennel - she was very happy to see everyone.

That is all for now. On to this week's pictures.
