Slip & Slide Fun in the Sun

Being stuck down here in Pa. can get quite hot. Our family is waiting for the mini-van transmission to get fixed, and since the kids can't go swimming in the lake, we all decided to keep cool by using the hose one day.

The 4th of July Bike Parade 2009

Every year it is a fun experience. Kids decorate their bikes, take fire engine rides, eat hot dogs and enjoy the company of friends and neighbors. Here are just a few shots from this year's celebration.

The 3rd of July (Prep night)

Trying to catch up from last week, I'm only now getting around to posting these one week later. Usually decorating the bikes is a July 3rd tradition shared by Aunt Erin, however this year Uncle Colin fell sick with pneumonia. So both of them had to stay down for those reasons. The kids did pretty well though.




The plan was to have Tristy dress up like Paul revere, as we put a horse on the front of his scooter. Liam would be going as Uncle Sam, and used cotton balls for his beard. Gillian was going for the statue of Liberty, but was a bit short on props I guess.

Anyway, it is always fun to watch their ideas take shape the night before the big parade.

Back from Italy & Greece

Hello,

If you would like to read about my recent Italy & Greece trip, you can find my notes, pics and stories at the following blog. I'm putting this trip on another blog as I don't want tons of students to have access to this one, which is more for friends and family viewing.

Hope you will enjoy the pictures and stories.
