Maine Summer Vacation

We went to Maine for our Summer vacation again this year. This was CJ's second visit! He seemed to enjoy it a lot more this time. He got to see Ma-G, his aunt Maggie and uncle Matt, uncle Peter, and Catherine and baby Luke. Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short to make the drive back before Hurricane Irene hit our house.

Here are some pictures from our trip, but to see ALL the pictures, click here.

First boat trip to get lobster (which CJ wouldn't try)

Lounging in the sun

CJ didn't seem to mind the cold water at all

This was just too cute


Boat trip to see the caves. CJ would have preferred to just stay on the beach and throw rocks.

He didn't like the hike much

Though he did like picking and eating wild raspberries


Of course, CJ did not want to go to bed...ever



Helping with the mussels




Picking more raspberries with baby Luke and Catherine



CJ showing baby Luke how to chill


Anything goes in Maine (not to worry, we were really only driving next door)


CJ already knows how to be in control of the tunes


CJ loved tennis! Mom, dad and Catherine actually got hours of playing time in

CJ even helped watch baby Luke while his mom played tennis


More boat pics




At the Marina, CJ had applesauce and cheese instead of lobster! And everyone's potato chips of course!


This is CJ's "cheese" smile. He's actually saying cheese!

Denver Trip

Big weekend in Denver! Mom and dad had a wedding celebration to go to, but we also got to see two sets of CJ's aunts and uncles and their new homes and Grandma Susie and Step-Grandpa John. Click here to see all the pictures from the weekend, or check out below for some highlights.

After landing early on Friday, we took CJ to the Denver zoo. The fish were his favorite!




We also went to a fair in Loveland, where there were lots of things to see, including trains...

More animals...

a band...

and toy tractors and cars to ride on...



We saw a neat pick with a river and fishing!


Prior to the wedding celebration a rock garden

CJ's First Driving Lesson

At Delhi this weekend, CJ got his first driving lesson. Check him out!

Delhi - Boy's Camp Weekend

Another anniversary weekend for the Boy's Camp in Delhi. This is the first Delhi post with a few pictures while the camp was in session.

CJ loved the cow car.


Well, he loved all the grown-up toys actually.





He wasn't afraid of the water at all.


And was even a really good swimmer ;)





Like last year, all the playing wore CJ out. He fell asleep again while riding on the mule (see video). Since it was 6pm, we made him nap outside.


And he was not happy when he woke up.



Until he was back on the mule.


Going for a walk before heading home the next morning...


CJ headed straight for the toy shed!


And then to say bye to the horses, who were hiding.

Delhi

We decided to escape Princeton this weekend and head to the Catskills, just the 3 of us. It was a little chilly and rainy most of the weekend but still fun. Here are a few shots.

Mommy's Helper

First he learned how to clean the floor with a paper towel after spilling milk or water. Now vacuuming! Hoping this is just the beginning...

Fun with "Diapers" Box

The box was definitely more fun than what was in the box...
