Adventures

O and I have had some fun since we got home from our trip.  Tom left the day after we returned (he is home now!).  Last weekend, we went to the California Academy of Sciences for the day and had a picnic in Golden Gate Park.  


Yesterday, we went to a birthday party.  The theme was traveling, so here is all decked out in his traveling gear!


I took an appetizer to share at the party.  They came out really good, so I thought I would share a picture.  The eggplant and tomatoes were from my garden!


Tom came home today, and I have not seen O so happy to see him and single-focused on playing with Daddy.

Big Trip!

We had a wonderful two weeks in New Jersey and Pennsylvania!  We all had a great time visiting with family, and O basked in the attention of so many people for two weeks!  I did not take as many pictures as I thought, but I did get some good ones.

We started out with Nan and Pop in New Jersey.  O helped Pop out with fixing his tractor and got to drive one of his own around.




We also spent a few days on Long Beach Island while in New Jersey.  It was fun to go to a beach where we could actually swim!  O had so much fun playing in the sand and surf.




After a few fun days in New Jersey, we all headed north to Pennsylvania for Grandma and Grandpa's Anniversary party.
Road Trip Buddies!

The first order of business in PA was Grandma and Grandpa's 50th Wedding Anniversary party.  It was a gorgeous day and a lovely party.

The happy couple!


O enjoying a sweet ride!

Jimmy, Peggy, Chris, Jennifer, me and Tom.


I hope we still look this happy after 50 years!
We were very happy to see Kristen at the party too!  She drove up from Baltimore for the day, and it was wonderful to see her.
O also got to have fun at a fishing day with Jenna and Grandpa.  He caught two fish!

He also got to ride the tractor with Grandpa.


One evening we went to see Katelyn play softball.  She was pitching that night, and it was pretty impressive.  The picture is a little blurry, but that is because it is an action shot.  They did not win the game, but Katelyn played really well.  It was fun to see her play.

On Friday we went out for a fun day on Grandpa's boat.  O sure did love driving the boat and fishing from the boat.

Jenna!

The big catch of the day!
Friday was also Grandpa's 72nd Birthday!  After fishing we came home and had cake to celebrate.

O got to go for a prowler ride with Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Jen on Saturday before we 





It is good to be home, but we miss everyone.
