Rowan and I spent the summer in Pennsylvania with my family, while we awaited Aidan's arrival. We had lots of great adventures, and lots of time hanging out with family, cousins, and friends.
We had a picnic up at Lake Erie with Nana and Papa
Rowan absolutely loves the water, no matter how cold!
Rowan also loved riding the Gator with his big cousin Ricky
Or riding in the wagon with cousins Ricky and Calen
We tried to do a craft every couple of days, this one was for Granny in England
Rowan went to the Deer Park with his new friend Simeon
He loved feeding all the different animals
His favorite were probably the parakeets though.
They were very keen to eat his seed stick
The train is a new favorite as well, and he would happily ride all day if he could.
"Hurry Simeon, lets go see what is next!"
"Roar!"
Chilling out with the chickens, peacocks/hens, turkeys, and ducks
Riding the tractor at Nana and Papa's house
Climbing the dirt pile. There is so much to do at Nana's!
Eating raspberries in Nana's woods was a favorite daily activity.
We also spent the day at the Zoo, where Rowan made lots of new animal friends.
Again, the train is a 'must-do' activity.
What does the train say? "Choo-choo!!"
Rowan's very first merry-go-round ride.
Going down the slide like a big boy
Peak-a-boo!
Playing with cousin Calen in the bubble.
A train goes by, "choo-choo!"
Rowan enjoying a refreshing over-priced over-sugared drink, yummy!
Nothing like an icecream to finish off a day at the Zoo, with cousins Ricky and Calen.
What is cuter than a toddler enjoying an oreo?
Maybe what he looks like after the oreo is devoured?
Oh look, it's little Papa wearing his boots, ready for work!
Rowan enjoying a wheelbarrow ride with his cousins Ethan, Jacob, and Micah.
Taking advantage of the corn soaking water to cool off on a hot day.
"I get you mummy!"
Sharing a raspberry with Micah
Jacob, Ethan, and Rowan enjoying a break from having a run around
"Ethan, can I have a bite of your icecream?"
Rub-a-dub, Nana's three grand-boys all in a tub!
Spiderman/Starwars lightsaber fight with cousin Ricky
Rowan is the winner!
Grandma Lou's watering helper
Thirsty tomatoes (and sidewalk, and ants, and anything else that looked like it could use a drink)
Rowan is such a big-boy-helper
Riding the tractor with a bit of help from Ricky
Enjoying the Old Home Day parade (and all the candy that comes with it)
That afternoon we headed off to the airport for our return journey to Utah, with grand plans of all the adventures we'll have there.
