We had fun at the annual New Paltz Rod & Gun Club BBQ on Sunday and hung out with Gemma and Papa; Aunt Tracey, Uncle Jim, and Luca; and Aunt Nikki, Uncle Mike, and Norah.
Declan invents his own form of “badminton ball” while Daddy and Quinn relax in the background.
Here’s Quinn, “having a ball!” (Yes, that’s a giant boo-boo under her nose from the faceplant she took the other day.)
Summer’s not over yet! We enjoyed the warm weather with friends last week playing outside and splashing around in the pool.
Shooting bugs with Callie, Abby, and Alyssa.
Quinn gets a lift from buddy Karsten.
Finally, I am writing to report the end of an era…..this weekend, we traded in the red Honda CR-V for a silver Mazda 5. I wanted a car with an optional third row to transport occasional extra passengers, like playdates or friends who come visit, and this “micro-van” has a pass-through between the second row seats to get there. Plus it gets good mileage. And, it’s a stick shift! It’s SO much fun to drive! Come on by and take a ride sometime! If you Google “Mazda 5,” you can see pictures of it.
