Three Sisters Island

The next part of our trip was to Niagara Falls. We spent some time in the water at Three Sisters Island. Here are some of the views and fun that we had!

Beautiful day...beautiful view...

Another beautiful view...

The gang hanging out on the rocks

Mimi and I walking with Grandpa Ed and Daddy

Daddy and I talking things over on a bridge

Everybody smile!

These next 2 pics are part of about 10 pics that Daddy took while trying to get EVERYBODY to smile and look at the camera at the same time.....

And as you can see...we were not able to get on pic with everyone looking at the camera and smiling!

We enjoyed a nice pizza and chicken finger subs lunch at the park. Lunch was chosen by Daddy since it was his birthday!

I LOVE playing in the water!

So serious...

3 out of 4 of us are smiling!

Mommy and Mimi had to make the long walk back up the hill to the car...and it was a LONG walk!

East Coast Tour 2011

We have so many pictures to share with you from our trip up (and back down) the East Coast! Here is the first set from our Thursday night family get together at Uncle John and Aunt Terry's house.

Danny, Christoper, Uncle Joe and I were enjoying some chips...

Mimi and I took some time out from socializing to eat.

Our cousins, Grandma Mary, Grandpa Ed and Uncle Dan enjoying the food as well

Mikey gave me rides on the skateboard!! I had so much fun and I am still talking about it!

I decided to help Grandpa teach Mimi how to ride...

And all that fun really tired me out!

Here are all the cousins. Boy is it hard to get everyone to look and smile at the same time...as you can see since I am covering my face!

We are very excited to leave for our East Coast Tour on Wednesday! So we will have lots of pics to share with you when we get back next week. But for now, here are the latest pics of what we have been doing to keep busy this summer.

I have become very good at baseball. Here I am swinging at the tee but I am pretty good at hitting the ball when dad pitches it to me too!

How's my stance?

Someone needs to teach Mimi what you are really supposed to do with a golf club...

Yes, this is me, on the floor watching my favorite band...the Fresh Beats. And as you can see, I don't even care that I have food stuck to my bottom...I had to get down from breakfast and run to the tv to make sure that I didn't miss them!

I have become very good a making a mess with my ice cream...

Although, I think it is really art...not a mess...

And Hank may be able to finger paint with real paint...but I had to teach him how to finger paint the table with ice cream!

Mimi and I hanging out at Mr.Brian's housewarming party.

It was supposed to be finger painting but then I found a popsicle stick and used that instead..that way my hands would not get so dirty :)

Family

Boy, did we have fun with our Minnesota cousins! They drove all the way here to Atlanta to visit us! It was a very hot week...AGAIN...so we had to stay by the water!

First night they got here we went to the pool here in our community

We tried going to a park on one of the days but it was just too hot! We did not stay at the park very long!

We all posed for the nice park picture....all of us except for Mimi...

Ahhhhh, popsicles...nothing better on a hot day!

One of the days we just stayed home and ran the sprinklers and played with the water table...

Mimi is watching very closely...

Hank and his "boys" Joey and Thomas resting after all the sprinkler runs

We had a little indoor fun with the Wii.

Then we went to a sprinkler park on another day....

And a little more indoor fun with coloring books, crayons and markers. Of course, Mimi was enjoying a snack...

So much fun! We hated to see them go! Hank still says "I miss Joey" every day...thanks for a great visit!

Hello! We have been busy re-decorating our family room! Daddy even taught me how to use a roller (probably because any future paint jobs will be my responsibility!) :)

We will show you the finished product soon!

Yep-that's me eating a raw spear of asparagus...Grandpa Wayne-aren't you proud!

So Mimi really makes my time-outs not seem so bad...she always comes and sits with me...and as you will see in the video below....I love her for it!

Daddy and me enjoying a nice little luncheon...I had to dress for the occasion!

These faces may look sweet...but .....

Mom took a pic as I was preparing the meal for Daddy and me...

Hank with his famous #1 move...

Well, Mimi did not escape the food allergies like we hoped. She had Sunbutter on her bagel (a sunflower seed spread that we use in place of peanut butter-since Hank can't have it). All it took was one touch and she got hives on her hand which made her itchy, which then made her itch her eyes and they puffed up with hives and got all red. (And this pic was taking well after the medicine took effect). It's a good thing we had medicine on hand that we use for Hank. I guess we will have to get her tested for others next time we visit the allergist! Poor Mimi!

Hank was busy playing with my bike so I got to be in the Jeep all by myself!

A little brother-sister love!

Happy 4th of July!

We spend a lot of time at the park early these days...it gets too hot later...I love the big slides...

And the big trees!

And I still love to wear the costumes (this is Handy Manny meets Super Why)...but i think Mommy needs to invest in some princess/girly costumes...what do you think??

Mimi's princess hair set comes in handy when Daddy needs a new do :) I am drying and Mimi is ready to use the straightener :)

Mim and I share a moment...

And then Mimi needs to get busy making dinner with Mommy!

4th of July at our friend Addison and Alexis' house. Mr. Jeff is fun to play with!

I loved cooling off in the pool!

All our friends. From left to right, Bryson, me, Mimi, Alexis and Addison.

My first time with a sparkler!

A big thanks to Mr.Rob who created this awesome water slide for us. What a way to keep cool on such a hot day...and have a lot of fun!
