100828 Bunnies at the Fair.m4v

Julia visited the NY State Fair this summer with GRammy and Pop-pop. Her favorite exhibit was the "Poultry, Pigeons, Rabbits, and Cavies." A cavy is apparently part of a group of South American rodents, of which the domesticated guinea pig is one. All of these animals, rows upon rows of cage upon cage, were there for showing. We saw some prize winners, and many were for sale. Alas, Julia did not return home with a pet from the Fair. We'll have to visit them again next year. I think she may already be looking forward to her next visit.

Julia also enjoyed the ducks at the Fair. She seemed to know their language.

100823 Spaghetti Supper

Dinner and a show...

100816 Julia & Lincoln with the Ball Chute

Our friend Lincoln came over to play for a bit. He and Julia, as is their custom, were interested in the same toy despite the many choices. They navigated this shared play pretty well! And then Julia noticed the camera, and you'll see what that means...

100814 Swimming at Treman

Robert Treman State Park has been one of our favorite places to go this summer. There's a super playground and swimming at the base of the falls. We don't let Julia explore quite that far yet, but Daddy bravely let Julia explore the wading area on her own...as he followed closely behind, of course. The water was always chillier than we would have liked, but it didn't faze JB!

100808 Pop pop in Julia's Pool

Pop pop couldn't resist playing in Julia's pool at the Cape. Julia loved the company!

100704 4th of July

We had a wonderful family bbq at Grandma's house in California. We had all of the entertainment that we could handle with Julia's recurrent laughs. She's becoming quite the ham- loves her an audience!

At Grandma's Pool in CA

Grandma Cindy brought us to her pool during our visit to CA. Julia's clearly a water baby!

Summer Re-Cap

It's been a fun and busy summer- so much so that we haven't had time to update the blog! Since it's Labor Day and we'll soon be embarking on more autumnal adventures, we'll say a fond farewell to July and August with ALL of these videos!

First, here are some of the pictures from the summer...click on the photo to see the rest of the Shutterfly album!
