We had a great visit with Aunt Mindy, Uncle Ben, and Owen! Once again, we showed how Yankees and Red Sox fans can co-exist in peace and harmony :)

"Wow, Owen- I wonder how they taught those sea lions to do all of their tricks? There's not much I would do for raw fish..."
There's nothing more fun than a morning at Seneca Park Zoo with your best cousin!
"Wow, Grandpa, is there really a horse under all of those baseball gloves? If so, he sure is quiet!"

An evening at Frontier Field-in addition to the baseball game, the boys enjoyed all of the delicious ballpark snacks and the half-inning entertainment!


Uncle Bob treated us to a morning on Canandaigua Lake in his new boat. Owen fearlessly mastered "The Plunge" from the back of Uncle Bob's boat! Way to go, Owen!


Cousins...and friends!!! We can't wait for our next visit!

Happy Fourth of July to one and all!


It's hard to believe that Paul is enjoying his third "Ring of Fire" party at Grandma and Grandpa's house! Here he is, pictured with his friend, Matthew. They are exactly one week apart in age, and they have celebrated the Fourth of July together every year since their birth in 2008! We look forward to many more celebrations with Matt as the boys get older...



"Thanks to the Murphys for bringing Freezer Pops to the party- this green one really hit the spot!"

Enjoying snacks with Grandpa...love those Goldfish!
Paul and Dad take a cruise on the dock before the festivities begin...
Paul's first Fourth of July Parade- we planted ourselves on the parade route at the entrance to Penfield High School on Five Mile Line Road. Paul loved the fire trucks, all of the bands, and chasing down Tootsie Rolls that were tossed to the crowd. Happy Birthday, U.S.A.!!!
