I grew up going to Webster's Pond as a kid. It used to be we would throw our cup of food out and call it a day, but now they have made a path all around the pond to stroll.
We met my friend Chelsea there and got to meet her new daughter, Lia. The kids loved it.
We spent half our time at my brother in law's and half the time with my niece Kate and her family.
At Uncle Don's the youngest just graduated high school, but when we were there all the oldest came over with their kids and it seemed to be bursting with young life again :) Of course, with all the silliness that comes with it.
Sometimes...you need to roll in the mud and get dirty.
At Kate's we dog walked....
Went to the movies...
and had ice cream.
There was slippin n' slide ...
....cruising....
...and quiet time...
July 4th brought the whole crew together yet again....
...take note that Amelia fell off the car 5 minutes later...she was fine but....
this guy was towed for reckless endangerment.
Fun was constant...all day. It was dusk and eyes were being rubbed so we said it was plenty dark for the sparklers and a bonfire :)
Eyes were shut the minute they hit the pillow. Good thing as it was time to head to The Wild with my nephew and his kids!
We have been once before when it first opened, but I still like the zoo better.
More hands on action here though as you got to hold a kangaroo...
..and feed a baby giraffe.
Then, after a three and a half week journey...it was time to head home.
Three and a half weeks is months to a 7 year old.
Regardless of the wonderful time we had... you want your own bed, your own toys and most importantly (after 3 planes and midnight in Alaska)...you get to see...
Dad.
Thanks for the great time and memories Wierbinski and Naples fam. See ya next year.
