July 18, 2010

Getting ready to head out in the morning.

Kate enjoyed some practice with light switches.

Suki loves her new snow globe.

A little doughnut treat along with their yogurt. Kate's having an "Oh no!" moment with the crumbs on her fingers.


Aunt Tina, Clara and Elena arrived to welcome us to Saratoga Springs before we went down to Grandpa's house.

Roving in the grass.



High fives for Uncle Jeff and some sweet pats for the dogs.

Chatting with Aunt Melissa.

A chase into the meadow.

Kate and Lorelei.


Matchy match Elena and Kate.




Suki and Lucas have a wee battle of wills while Kate looks on.

Clara looks on.

Kate climbed onto the tractor and wanted to drive.

Grandpa watches Kate on the stairs.

Lunchtime!

After eating, it was time to splash.



Racing with the dogs.


Kate enjoyed a ride with Uncle Vincent, Lucas and Loralei.


Kate also hitched a ride with Aunt Tina, Uncle Steve and Clara and Elena.



Picking flowers.


Kate's ready for another ride! Suki joins her with her bouquet.

Grace was pretty uncertain about the noisy ride but she wanted to join us.

A cuddle helped.

A baby photo.




Kate looks out at Grandpa's vineyard.

Lorelei joins the girls as they pick some unripe grapes.




Kate gets a ride back up to the house with Grandpa.

A little tractor conference with Grandpa, Kate, Lucas, Lorelei and Uncle Vincent.


Kate walks back with Grandpa.

Kate thought pushing the doorbell with Lorelei was hilarious.



A group photo! I do love a good group photo.


Then it was off to Grandma's for some play time and an ice cream social.

Kate helps Aunt Tina carry out a tray.

A penguin spoon for Kate!


So many treats!


Pat helps dole out syrups and cherries.



A sweet moment with Aunt Tina and Suki.

Suki and Lorelei enjoy their sundaes.

Pat helps Grace.

Some serious looking desserters.




Kate does not take Lucas' look very seriously.

They turned this jump rope standoff into a fishing game -- Kate was the fish.



Jim and Kate walking along.




Vincent and Lucas.

Grace brings me a Queen Anne's Lace. They surely love picking flowers!


Vincent and Lorelei, Christina and Clara.

Really enjoying a book.


Aunt Melissa and Grace have a chat.

Fun with Kate and Lorelei.

I swiped this one from Aunt Tina's website -- there was a lot of tying up of Aunts with these jump ropes!


Aunt Tina cannot escape! The girls all loved this game so much.


Our best effort at a group photo with Grandma and some of her grandchildren -- we're missing four who could not attend and one who was in no mood for pictures.

A pizza party at the hotel!


Clara and Elena loved the Big Fella.




What a full day!
