HERSHEY PARK

On the way home from Maryland, we stopped for a night at Hershey Park in PA.  Avery has mentioned several times since, that it would be great to live at the hotel (which was nothing too spectacular, mind you).  Good times at the Park, riding the rides.  Trevor survived the Sooper Dooper Looper and we enjoyed some ice cream.  The next morning we toured chocolate world and made our own candy bars (donning shower caps).

Avery is Funny

Grandaddy's Lap

Man, can that guy can read...

Hagerstown Memorial Day

Excellent visit to the Mason-Dixon line for Memorial Day weekend.  We went to a parade in Sharpsburg (Antietam) where the Sons of the Confederacy were among the marchers, raising Mommy's eyebrow.  The best part of the parade was the large amount of candy being thrown to the crowd.  Cousin Cole was with us too!  Red shirts and red hats for the boys!  We squeezed in a few holes at Fountainhead as well, and hit the pool and a Memorial Day picnic -- phew!

Mommy's Away

Mommy flew to North Carolina for Aunt Julie's birthday, leaving Daddy in charge, which led to tee ball and diner visits.

Science in the Kitchen!

Avery's wisdom

Avery has some good ones lately:

"Come along if baloney like a room with out the truth!"

Avery's rendition of "Happy" by Pharrell.

Also: "I know a lot about dinosaurs."  Like what?  "They eat stuff."

Franny the Bunny

Part of the wonderful Mrs. Maxwell Kindergarten curriculum includes taking "Franny" the bunny home for a few nights, taking care of Franny, and writing a letter (with pictures) about Franny's experiences for a class book.  Trevor hosted Franny over a weekend that saw soccer, teeball, french toast, and a trip over to Tarrytown for Sophia's first communion and some time with Gigi and Grandaddy.  Franny is one lucky bunny.

New BIKE

Minks to Sinks provided another bike this year.  Trevor was excited for a better bike, and this weekend we started to work on riding without the training wheels in the yard.  It is coming along.  He loves his bike!  Avery was able to pick up a new tea set.  Very cute to see a little girl carefully walking through the chaos of a massive tag sale, with he new found treasure.

Gone Fishing

Trevor and Daddy hit the Y fishing derby.  Nice day, but they were not biting at midday when we were there.

Minutemen (Junior)

Trevor has come to a few of Daddy's lacrosse games on Sunday mornings. The Minutemen are having a good season and will play for the Championship June 1 against the nasty Tsunami.  Turns out it is a bunch of graying daddys running around on creaky knees.

One Sunday was pretty chilly, so all of the boys (sons) on the sideline grabbed the daddy's Minutemen sweatshirts.  They were playing "bears" and hibernating.  (Trevor far left).
