Keuka Lake - July 17, 2011

We were invited to the Bastian Cottage to spend the day with our friends the Riders. Grace and their daughter Paige went to preschool together, and we have stayed close for the last 8 years.

The kids swam, played hide and seek, fished, and went tubing that day. It was another beautiful sunny summer day to enjoy with good friends!

Sackets Harbor tournament - July 16, 2011

Grace's new lacrosse team, Relentless Hustle, played in the 1812 Shootout Lacrosse tournament. She had a great day! Lou took her since Noah was at a friend's house, and I had an 8 mile run to do that morning. She loves playing lacrosse and had a lot of fun with her friends.

Shannon's house - July 10, 2011

We had a great day at Shannon's last Sunday. The kids swam all day. We had yummy macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, and

lots of snacks. This is a picture of Grace and McKenzie lounging on the pool float.

Kershaw Park - July 7, 2011

Grace, Noah, and I headed to Canandaigua for a change of scenery today. It has been a beautiful week, and they love the water, so we took advantage of the beach at Kershaw Park and spent the day swimming and playing in the sand. My vacation is almost over - time does fly!

Ritzenthalers' party - July 3, 2011

We were invited to Spencerport for my friend Tracy's Fourth of July party. We had a great time hanging out in their back yard and watching the kids make new friends!

Out on Northrups' boat - July 3, 2011

Our friends, the Northrups, invited us out on their boat over the holiday weekend. It was a beautiful sunny day, and we had a great afternoon! Grace and Lillian hung out together, and Noah and Michael did many many jumps off the front of the boat! We put down the anchor toward the shore of Irondequoit Bay so the kids could swim and play. What a great day!

Lou and I in New York City - June 24-26, 2011

Lou and I went to NYC last weekend. It was Lou's first time there! We went with Shannon and her husband Jack along with two other couples. This picture is of us in Central Park in Saturday morning. We did some sightseeing at Ground Zero and the South Street Seaport, went to a Yankees game, shopping at Bloomingdale's with the girls, and had two fabulous dinners. We are planning on taking Grace and Noah later this summer!

Canandaigua lacrosse tournament - June 18, 2011
