Canandaigua Lake at the Harris' cottage - July 31, 2011

We were invited to the Harris' cottage on Canandaigua Lake on Sunday. We had a great time - the kids swam and went out on the rowboat, they played hide and go seek, told ghost stories, tried to scare each other, and generally had a lot of fun. The adults sat on the dock and relaxed and had a great meal and a great day. This is a picture of all the kids on the big back porch - it's an annual tradition now.

Sam and Micah are home - July 30, 2011

Sam and Micah were back in Rochester for a few days, and Aunt Debbie was nice enough to host a picnic for everyone to get together. We had a great afternoon hanging out and chatting. The kids swam and jumped on the trampoline. We had a nice meal and then played euchre. Debbie and I finally beat Uncle Bud! Say it ain't so!

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!
