Summer Vacation: New York and Pennsylvania

 

Okay, we're back and I promise there are only two more "summer" posts left. Here Jack is on his first day on my aunt's farm in New York. Man, to say he loved it is an understatement. But what's not to love about 40 acres of grass and trees and room to explore? He quickly made himself at home. He met all the horses and, while he was interested in them, he preferred playing in the grass and dirt.

 Jack's (great) Aunt Janet took him for a ride all the farm over which he enjoyed.

 

 

 He really was fascinated by a thunderstorm that was fast approaching. There's nothing like watching a storm come from the top of a hill in only a diaper. (so I've heard.)

 

There was a great family get-together one of the days we were there and everyone had a great time catching up and playing in the pool.

 Here are a few more miscellaneous pics from our stay on the farm.

After a few days in New York, we headed on over to my Uncle Tommy and Aunt Patty's house in New Jersey. Jack thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with cousins Maddie and Isabelle. He couldn't get enough of them. And he made himself right at home.  Sadly, I didn't get any pics of him playing with Maddie and Izzy.  We were too busy having fun!

Too much excitement so the little guy passed out

*Thanks to my mom for some of the pics (the nice ones).  One more post tomorrow of the actual wedding that was the impetus for the whole trip!
