Kate's East Coast Party & the spiffy Adirondack Express

We had a small gathering to celebrate Kate's 2nd birthday (a little early) with her East Coast family and friends...

 

Plenty of space to run around (for the sugar-high kids)...

First love (when will dad have to step in)...

Playing with bubbles...

 The night ended with birthday girl asleep, and some (very safe) firework fun...

Dylan performing his annual cleaning of the Adirondack Express- Papa's airplane!

 Goofing around-the second appearance of 'Sticker Boy'...

The loving pair (caught at a good moment)...

Lots goin' on in Vermont!

Hanging out at the pool...

Post pool music time...

Kate opening some birthday presents (who's more excited?)...

Cruisin' in the yard...

 Instead of our own fireworks (which we had planned), nature put on a show...

Burlington, around the house, and our trip South in search for Cheese...

A fun way to kill some time waiting for the ferry...

Riding the ferry across to Burlington, VT...

Looking out at the incoming ferries (from the aquarium)...

 Cruising around Burlington...

 The ferry ride home...

Dylan helping Gramma & Papa in the yard...

Dylan & Dad hanging out on the deck...

A stop at the Vermont Country Store (on our drive south through Vermont)...

One of the many farms we stopped at (or drove by) in dad's search for good cheese.  The sheep were very excited to have visitors and were extremely loud!
