Dean goes to Auburn!

Dean went on his first plane-ride; he went to his momma's hometown in upstate New York. (Auburn is a small city about 20 miles west of Syracuse, New York; I lived there until I went away to college!) It is so nice to visit in the summer.... so snug and the weather is such a relief from the heat and humidity in Florida this time of year. Anyways.... I digress.... We all had a lot of fun. I went to a friend's (Carrie Fulton) bridal shower, hung out with my old pal Talitia, her parents/brother and her two kiddos, and of course we spent lots of time with Gage, Uncle Danny and Grandpa Jones. Grandma Susie was not able to go this visit :(

At restaurant owned by my brother's friend.....



At the zoo in Syracuse.....Dean loved the elephant.



This is beautiful Hoopes Park in Auburn. We always go to walk around and feed the ducks while there in the summer. I did some ice-skating there in the winter there growing up, and it is across the street from my elementary school, Herman Avenue.



Dean after crashing on Gage's lap.



I love this one.... Abby is in HER bed that Gage set up for her before our visit. She is very into hats as you can see!!! She even wants to sleep in a hat right now; at least she is wearing a bit more variety in terms of her clothes ;) Not just requesting "little blue shorts jeans".



The one below is in Uncle Danny's back yard. She was feeding the chipmunks; this must have been one of her favorite activities up there.



The last two are from Talitia's house. Dean-bean crawling in the grass and the second picture where all four kids are looking at the camera! Abby had fun picking cherries from the cherry tree, painting rocks, going in the kiddie pool and playing in the sandbox with Dean, Emma and James.



Here are a couple of videos. My dad dribbled a ball in front of him which he thought was hilarious!!! He is starting to stand alone and take a step before falling down.

Abby takes up golf!

So, I think Abby's "golf game" has become her new favorite outdoor activity. Move over trampoline... for now anyways! Abby got golf clubs for her birthday and LOVES them. Of course, when I told her daddy this, his eyes lit up like it was the 4th of July ;)
