We attended a kid's concert with friends at Senasqua Park on the Hudson River.
The kids danced and did the hula hoops!
Annabel enjoyed the music too!
We went to the aquarium in Norwalk. The kids had a blast!
I love this picture of Dylan! I finally discovered the "aquarium" button on my camera and it actually worked!
Liam waiting for the big turtle to make an appearance!
Liam and Dylan continued to have fun getting to know their baby sister. As she grew over the summer, so did their interest in playing with her!
I asked Liam to entertain his sister for a minute. This is what I found upon my return.
I think Liam likes his little sis!
The three kiddos are such great playmates for each other!
Throughout the summer, we hosted numerous barbecues for family and friends. Shucking corn (well, Dylan preferred to blow bubbles)!
Liam trying to clean off every single little strand of silk on the corn.
Aunt Mimi came from Vermont for a barbecue visit to see the new house and to meet Annabel!
Aunt Annie visited us too. She had so much fun rolling around the yard with the kiddos.
Liam wanted Aunt Annie to pay attention to him! Yes, he is wearing a swim vest. No, we weren't swimming.
Dylan lost his shirt somewhere along the way. His turn for Aunt Annie gymnastics!
Uncle Johnny came to visit from Vermont. The kids loved having all these visitors!
The boys discovered that they could pass through these bushes to get to the front yard from the back yard. Our "natural fence" has now been breached. I think we're in trouble.
For the first few weeks after our move, the boys were too excited to go to sleep. Neil had used a ladder earlier in the day to fix something on the roof and it was still out so he decided to climb up and spy on them. He told them to go to bed from the roof but I think the humor of the situation made them even more excited!
Our yard made it fun to host playdates with water fun! The water table, little pool and sprinkler kept the kids cool and busy all summer.
Good Buddies!
Cool dude with his chick on a tricycle. Twenty years from now, it will be on a motorcycle!
Jammie pic!
One night when the boys were taking a bath, Neil put Annabel in their jammie bin. When we told Liam to pick out his pajamas, he jumped back and laughed the biggest laugh we've ever heard from him. Dylan had a similar reaction, although he seemed more concerned that we remove her from the bin when the joke was over.
We attended a kid's concert at West Point to celebrate the birthdays of a few friends. The kids had a lot of fun going up and down the big hill, crawling on the canons, climbing trees, digging in the cooler, just about everything except listening to the music. They even participated in an "instrument petting zoo"! I don't think we sat down for more than a second!
What a beautiful view of the Hudson River!
Annabel had fun too! Here she is practicing a new trick!
Trying to get three little ones to face the camera and smile at the same time is pretty much impossible. Here are a couple of cute photos of the three kids taken this summer.
Brotherly love! Look at those dirty fingernails. Someone was playing in the dirt!
Well, that takes us up to August!
