Mega-trip: NY

For those who haven’t been introduced, here is the Wilde’s (Henry and Janet’s) house in upstate NY:

100_7649 Now complete with porch!  and flowers! 

Our time in NY was a hodgepodge of activities—picnics, baseball games and some outlet shopping--but mostly just relaxing and visiting.  The only “big event” on this leg of the trip was the extended family get-together.  So, without further ado . . .

IMG_0155Emerson Park, where we played and picnicked after a trip to the agricultural museum.  The park was also the site of a moderately famous wedding 10-ish years ago :)

005 Logan spent a good deal of time here . . .

100_3417 and even more time here. 

001 He also enjoyed “helping” with chores

008 and playing with the dog, Smiley.  He loved picking fresh strawberries out of the garden and eating them, but stubbornly refused to ride, or even sit, on the tractor.

100_3452 We were also able to visit with my Grandma McKie.

100_7648It was great to spend a bit of time with everyone in NY.  We miss you all, but we look forward to seeing some of you again (relatively) soon!  Now onward to NC and the end of this crazy trip . . .
