Field Station: Dinosaurs

So, Hugo loves dinosaurs at the moment but we were going to save this visit for the fall.  This weekend, however, was the last this "park" was going to be open in New Jersey, so we made a special trip out to say goodbye and wish them well; apparently these dino-robots are moving to Kansas, maybe.

Sisters United...then Cousins United.

Been meaning to post these for a while but haven't gotten around to it.  We travelled up to Ontario this past summer to get two sisters, who have never met, but have known each other almost 10 years now.  The similarities between Jennifer and Ashka are remarkable! And a big thanks to Jarek and Isabella for hosting our troop once again.

Then we moved east to the Oshawa area where I stayed with my cousin.  Great to spend time with Greg, Amy, Abi and Laura...The boys loved them.  Jen got to school Laura in Wii "Just Dance," and the boys only left the water (pool and hot tub in the backyard) to eat, bathroom, and sleep.  Great also to celebrate Greg's and Dash's birthday together, both born on July 7.

A couple portraits in the park this morning...

Haven't been much for writing blog posts lately...

But I do have photos to share.

Holy Smoke! Just like that...you're 5!!

You're the berries, Dash!  Turned 5 today.  More pictures to come....

Happy Fathers' Day, Bill

Sadly, this Father's Day is the first after his passing and while I do miss him, I find solace in the little moments I have with my sons (such as taking Dash to work last Friday) that remind me of my time growing up with my Dad.  I look forward to many more such "parallel" moments and memories as my sons grow.
