Memorial Day

We spent most of Memorial catching up on chores around the house and yard, Charlie finished most of the work on our deck and Gazebo, it looks really good can't wait for the pool to be open so we can really use it, maybe pictures when everything is complete. Late after noon we packed up the cooler with goodies and headed out to Little Island Park at Sandbridge, it was a little after 4 when we arrived I had figured by that time most everyone would be gone or in the process of leaving I was almost right, we got a picnic table with out any problems we got a cool suprise they have completely rebuilt the play area, it is really nice and the kids enjoyed it. Isabella, Chloe and Elijah.

Chloe and Leah


This kid is going to be a really great soccer player can you tell? He has some really cool moves for a 16 mth old!

Charlie, David and Ryan
The weather was a lot cooler then we expected, it was quite warm when we left the house but at little chilly by the ocean. I guess because it was a little on the windy side.

We Survived Busch Gardens

This was an unexpected afternoon and evening for us at Busch Gardens, Jenny and David were going and we decided to tag along so they could ride on the big kids rides and then we found out Lee, Jenn and kids were going too, we left home around 2:30pm and met up with Jenn and Lee around 5ish. It was a fun afternoon we stayed until closing, the lines were short and I even got to ride some rides with Jordan and Rachel.
Jenny, David, Lee and Jenn survied the Griffen. that is a long drop 75 mph I think!

Jenny and Rachel rode the swings but it was too dark by then to get any photos.






Ryan had a blast at Sesame Land, David showed him how to block the water with his feet...

Woodstock Vermont

Following Brian's graduation we visited Woodstock which has some really neat old buildings where we made an amazing discovery...Fitch has a house named after him!!

Brian & Nicole, Brian must have been feeling grumpy or maybe he was tired of having the camera aimed at him all day!


This cat adopted Brian for most of our walk around Woodstock he was always just a few steps away.




Brian's Graduation

Our Trip to Vermont was for Brian's Graduation...so heres his big day...the pictures loaded backwards but I think you'll get the idea.
Brian got his Master's in Environmental Law and Policy!








The Ceremony was held on the Green at South Royalton it was a beautiful day, it was supposed to rain but the showers held off to later in the evening.

Mother's Day as always was great! We came home from Church gathered together the food which included Fried Chicken, potatoe salad, antipasto, Jenny bought beans and Kandice made this fantastic looking and tasting cake and took of for North West River Park, it has been along time since we have done this for Mother's Day, we used to do it all the time when the kids were little, the weather was perfect, sunny but no humidity a cool breeze, the perfect day!

Maggie May & Fitch

Alot of friends have been asking me if we still have Maggie May, I guess 'cos I have not put up any photos of her in a long while...so for all of you who wanted to know, yes we still have her and here are some pictures, as you can see she is really begining to look like a Westie, she is very sweet and loves to tease Fitch.

Here's the two trouble makers.............

Both with their tongues hanging out, Maggie loves to lick her lips in anticipation of any treats that might be coming her way!


Maggie just finished her first 5 week basic course in Agility and has been promoted to intermediate! Yeah Maggie!
