Immediately upon our arrival in Philly we headed straight to the Videon's. |
 |
The treat there was a freshly installed pool and hottub. |
 |
Here Aunt Carol holds Julian while Bridget also enjoys the warm water. |
 |
Julian loves being swished around in the water. |
 |
Although sometimes he's a little apprehensive. |
 |
Kevin, Joy and Julian swimming in the day's last rays of sunshine. |
 |
The following day we went and introduced Julian to his great-grandmother, Dede. A special moment. |
 |
Then we made our way up to Lake Paupac. |
 |
Where we had a 50's themed birthday party for my mom. |
 |
With cake and milkshakes. |
 |
Joy was a Pink Lady and Julian was a T-Bird. |
 |
Dayna went as Dayna and Ron went as he dressed in the 50's (he was born in 1952). |
 |
The party was complete with a 50's-style drag race. |
 |
Julian got his nightly baths in the utility sink. |
 |
We took a couple of hikes. |
 |
This one was on the lake path during the bad weather left over from hurricane Katrina. |
 |
We took Julian to the beach to swim a few times. |
 |
The family at the beach. |
 |
Joy watches over Julian while he splashes around. |
 |
There were several picnics at the nearby firepit. |
 |
Complete with hot dogs and smores. |
 |
Nana, as usual, was stuck holding Julian. |
 |
Except when Pops was holding him. |
 |
Geese on the outlet. |
 |
A hike down to the falls. |
 |
We got some great pictures. |
 |
Gorgeous backdrop with gorgeous mom and baby. |
 |
Snugglin. |
 |
Gigglin. |
 |
Hangin around the house in pj's. |
 |
Hangin around on the couch. |
 |
Trying to get some breakfast. |
 |
Another swim day at the beach. |
 |
Hopefully Julian didn't get swimmer's ear like his dad did from swimming across the lake. |
 |
A self-made fort. |
 |
Pops and Julian playing on the deck. |
 |
Sean and Ildi (and their London broil) came up from NYC on Friday. |
 |
Warning: do not shake - contents under pressure. (This is moments before Julian spit up on Sean.) |
 |
Another trip to the falls. |
 |
Ildi, Julian and Joy watching Sean and Kevin swim. |
 |
Said swimming. It was cold. |
 |
TADA! Nana and Julian! |
 |
One of Julian's favorite poses. |
 |
The family at the falls. |
 |
Ildi and Sean (who is wet - but Ildi finally got close). |
 |
The tri-county fair was in town. John was a big horse. |
 |
Julian's first real cow. |
 |
Cocktail hour at the Barnard's. |
 |
Martin and Joslyn had one night with us. |
 |
Where they cooked a fabulous meal (and dessert). |
 |
Martin's first experience with cooking hot dogs on a stick over a bonfire. |
 |
Uncle Herb and Aunt Mable were anxious to meet Julian so we stopped by for a visit. |
 |
Bear was a little confused by Julian. |
 |
The "dishwasher" pic. Every baby that goes to R-place has to have the dishwasher picture. |
