Family fun in Philadelphia!

At the end of June my cousin Maria was in a regatta in Philadelphia with  her crew team from Pittsburgh. A bunch of us got together to see the race, and Alex and a few of his kids met at the Please Touch Museum first!

Rides on the Carousel!

Playing with the boats & the ducks...

Checking out the races...

There's Maria (in the last seat)!

Maria's cheering squad!

Stone Harbor 2012

We were thrilled to spend a week in Stone Harbor this June and even more thrilled that Abe's Aunt Sandy and Uncle Chuck came in from Wisconsin to join us! We found the ideal beach house and had a fantastic week.


Dressed like twins!

Let's hit the beach!

Everyone loves Springer's ice cream!

This was the view from our deck to the beach... it was perfect!

Riley and I came outside to play when he got up at 6 am so we wouldn't wake the rest of the house...

... clearly a 6 am wakeup was TOO early!

More beach fun!

Jonah would fill this tray with sand and then walk up to someone with it singing, "Happy Birthday"!

Jonah and Uncle Chuck checking out the paper together.

Our boys LOVED the sand machine! You can't see it too well, but the driver is waving to us. 

This is Riley's idea of playing Scrabble - getting somene else to spell words for him!

The last few days it was REALLY windy... the sand stuck to our faces.
