More Summer Fun, 2011

Since we returned from our trip to Cape Cod, Paul has had a number of "Summer Specials..."

The first was a visit from his cousin Owen...

Jumping in to Canandaigua Lake...

Lunch with Aunt Lynne and Uncle Roger, who were visiting from California...

Miniature golfing at Brady's "fore-th" birthday party...

Celebrating Grandma's birthday- ever since his own birthday, Paul has liked to help others blow out their candles...

Enjoying Seneca Park Zoo with neighborhood friends...

Paul's favorite animal (right now) is a monkey, so of course he loved the primate house. He also had fun in the educational center acting as a veterinarian for a stuffed lion cub. Afterward, he stated that someday he'd like to be an animal doctor. Hopefully he can fit this in with his other aspirations of becoming a professional baseball player and a garbage man...

Summer Vacation: Boston and Cape Cod
Paul "hams it up" with Auntie Leah when we went to visit her in Boston. Paul especially enjoyed playing with Riley and Murphy, Auntie Leah's cats!

Paul pauses from his baseball practice to pose in front of the hydrangeas at our vacation rental in Eaton Village, Ocean Edge Resort in Cape Cod. We had a wonderful week on the Cape- especially when Grandma and Grandpa Palmer came to visit for a few days!

Here are some glimpses of some of the fun we had...

We enjoyed not only 1, but 2 Brewster Whitecaps games at Stonybrook School. The Cape League has an impressive list of "graduates" who are now major leaguers.

Digging holes in the sand at Breakwater Beach...

A day in Woods Hole...













Paul enjoyed the seal show at the Woods Hole Aquarium...















and inspected a tugboat on the pier...

One of the highlights of our trip was meeting Auntie Cari and Tim for dinner in Hyannis...

Paul enjoys building a sand castle with his new friend, Bridget, at Flax Pond in Nickerson State Park. Recommended to us by Bridget's parents, this is a small freshwater pond with a roped-off, sandy-bottomed swim area. The water temperature was in the mid to upper 70's, so it made for a great morning of waterplay!

Paul says goodbye to his new friend...maybe we'll see you again next year!
