A cute picture of Ayson that Auntie Julie took on Father's Day weekend :)
On Monday, the boys worked on fixing the little motor bike
and then it was off to Stafford Park for a bit of playground fun!
Playing gaga
The kids went with Adam to the DMV on Tuesday...
and then it was lunch at Dave and Busters!
Light up drinks with gummy worms
Jackpot!!!
Addie spent all of her time at the claw
success!
Ayson picking out his prize
Evening bike ride in the orchard. Addie fell down in the gravel and after a bit of encouraging, she got back on her bike and continued the bike ride - good girl!!
On Wednesday, we went waterfall hunting at Watkins Glen State Park.
So cool!
Ayson and Mumma
Adam and the kiddos
Amazing walkways cut out/into the rock
A side waterfall
Our kids acting like gargoyles :)
Adding to the cairn collection
THIS State Park also has an Olympic size outdoor swimming pool and the kiddos spent over two solid hours in the pool!
On Thursday we went waterfall hunting at Taughannock Falls State Park - one of our favorite spots as you can walk in the shallow creek.
Addie building another cairn
The kiddos attempting to slide down the creek. Three summers ago Ayson was able to float down the creek as we has just had a big rain event (flooded Route 11A) and the creek was full of fast moving water!
The swimming hole :)
After our hike, we had a picnic lunch and then the kids played on the playground - the temps were in the high 80s - no idea how/why they wanted to play out in the hot sun!!
On Thursday evening, Auntie Julie, Uncle Dan, and the cousins joined us for the weekend
Thanks for the firework fun, Auntie Julie and Uncle Dan!!!
Friday was another extremely warm day - the kids played
We picked red raspberries
and then went for a walk at Tinker Falls
Adam and Dan
Cousins
Adam told Ayson that if he cut the spent peony blossoms off of the bushes that he would give him $5. Both Ayson and Curran earned $5 each and our bushes look great! Thanks, boys!!!
Adam made Pho - beef noodle soup. Yum!
Friday evening, our neighbor stopped by with his work horses - he owns the field on Bear Mountain that we can see from our back porch. He uses the horses to plow the field :)
The tire that the horses were pulling
Pool time!
Grandma Collene came out to join in our festivities
The yummy quiche that Adam made on Saturday morning (he made a total of three quiches over the weekend!)
On Saturday, we took the cousins to Little York Lake and Dweyer Park.
Looking for crayfish and fish
"Swimming" in the wading pool
Addie intent on finding a crayfish - she did catch one!
There was a little boy at the park that played with our kids as his friend had not arrived yet. Ayson wanted to be sure the boy had someone to play with since it was the little boy's birthday. Great job on thinking of others, Big Guy!!
Ayson spent Saturday night at LJ's house and the rest of use stayed at home and got caught up on chores and relaxed!
Sunday morning cuddles
We went for a morning kayak at Labrador Pond. Adam towed Addie :) Addie did a great job in the kayak by herself!
Sunday afternoon we headed to LJ and Mathew's house (Addie and Mathew are also friends) for pool fun and a cook out
Adam playing with the kids :)
