More fun in the sun

We went on our summer picnic at Robbins Farm park this year

Bevil hung out with us one afternoon. It looks like Caroline is modeling for his sketch but she's actually offering some coffee.

A different weekend we went down to Somers with Tom & Cecilia. The girls had fun at the beach.

Everybody catches fish in Summit Lake, including Caroline and Ceci

and Tom, too

Erin learned how to stand up

and she still wakes up shortly after going to sleep to spend bonus time with Mom & Dad

Caroline cooled off at one of the splash parks in town

while Erin played in the playground

One night Caroline said "I want to go in the cabinet". And she did.

Erin shows off her crawling ability

Kin in Kentucky

On the way down to the Carty reunion we detoured into Ohio to log another new state. That, and Caroline wanted a cold brewski.

Then we viewed the mighty Ohio River from the Indiana side

It was great to see everyone at the Carty reunion in Girdler, Kentucky. Here, Erin has almost figured out how to crawl

Lilyana, Amanda's new baby, was very cute

And Uncle Leonard loved to hold Erin

Up at the family cemetery to see Great-grandma's tombstone


Later that night Erin did put it all together... and she's been on the go ever since

Back at home she spends some bonus time with Mom at night

Claire, Peter and the girls stopped by on their way up to Maine. We shared our enormous blueberry crop with them.

Mixmaster Peter instructed Dad on making Amaretto sours

Caroline had a blast running through the sprinklers. In fact all the girls did, but without bathing suits on the photos are not publishable.

Sabrina and Caroline were extra silly together

Brooke was able to keep up with the big girls

Later that weekend Jon and Heather visited from the West Coast

Caroline and Ansel played well together, too.
