Memorial Day

We had an extra-long, extra fun weekend. Went to Clarion to see Gula, Pop-Pop, (who William is now calling "Pap" - we may have to leave the Grandparent-naming up to him and change it!), and Aunt Erika.

On Friday we spent the afternoon at the river, having a big cookout with their friends. It was fun for William to see the boats going by, stand on the dock, and visit with everyone. He went on a nice hike with Gula, played bridge with Pop-Pop... I didn't take my camera down, because it was raining when we left, and I regretted it later!

On Saturday, WW was very lucky to have Gula babysit him while Esch & I went to Cate & Craig's wedding - he had fun while we did, too! He went to a nice park on a playdate with Lauren Bachman (ooh la la!) and we got to see pictures, thanks to Aunt Erika. He also got to play with a neat sand table that Pop-Pop had for him. Very lucky little boy.

Sunday morning we left for Nanna & Grandpa's house for Memorial Day - William's first one in Boalsburg! It was beautiful out for the festivities in town. Sunday afternoon we went to the club to go to the pool. W scared us by going completely under the water in the baby pool a few times, but quickly figured out the trick of walking in the water and maintaining his balance while he played. He had a ball!





We also got to see Uncle David, Uncle Andrew, and Nain and Taid! William hadn't seen his great-grandparents since Christmas, and it was so fun to see him with them, especially since he had changed so much in the past few months.

Nanna and Grandpa had a nice cookout Sunday night, and on Monday we took William downtown in his wagon to check out all of the Memorial Day goings-on (carnival, military reenactments, which he LOVED - including the loud booming cannons, art fair, etc.).

This one cracks me up. Just one of the boys, listening intently to the Civil War reenactor.




Although he was a VERY busy little guy this weekend, W also managed to relax and lounge by the pool in his new perfectly-sized antique beach chair from Nain and Taid. Thanks, everyone, for such a nice weekend!
