Visiting Great-Grandma & Great-Grandad

Yesterday, we went to Harpers Ferry for the day - and stopped to visit John's grandparents (Sean & Kate's great-grandparents). Great-Grandma had gifts for the children - a "big-wheel" for Sean and a teddy bear for Kate - Sean had a great time riding his bike around the property and just investigating everything...:)

Brother & Sister Hangin' out

Sean wanted Kate to lay in his Firetruck Bed with him - and he actually posed for the camera. What a great big brother!! :)

Croghan Family Reunion

We attended the Annual Croghan Reunion on August 14th in Frederick...Sean had a blast - he swam in the pool - and had a good time playing with his cousins...


Eatin' corn with Lindsey!



Hanging out with Ma!

Here's the only picture that I took of Colleen's visit - BAD MOMMY!

Swim Lessons?

We attempted for Sean to take Swim Lessons this summer at our neighborhood pool. The swim lessons were advertised for 2-5 year olds. However, when we arrived, we realized that Sean was at least 1 year younger the the youngest child there - and was not old enough to understand what the swim teacher wanted him to do. He was more of a distraction, so we stayed for all of 10 minutes and decided we'd wait until next year.

But, here is the beginning when Sean was listening...:) He's in the blue swim shirt (the littlest child there)...

Walkersville Carnival 2010

The kids & I are in this purple dragon which spins while also going in a big circle. I was nearly sick when I got off. Not sure why I used to like this type of ride as a kid.

Tonight we took Sean to the Walkersville carnival. Sean's Aunt Jen & cousins Lillian & Lindsey were nice enough to join us so the girls could ride the rides with Sean, while Baby Kate relaxed in the "limo" (double stroller). We had a good time watching the kids ride the rides - and Mommy was convinced to ride the "Dragon" ride with the kids - which was a spinning ride that I will NEVER ride again. Sean & Mommy also rode the Ferris Wheel (with Lillian) - and a good time was had by all. Sean was "lucky" enough to win a goldfish - which became a dancing goldfish when he was dancing to the 80's band "The Reagan Years" - one of Mommy's favorite bands which happened to be playing. All in all, a good time!
