Sunday

Our first day on the beach was Sunday. The beach was not crowded and we were able to spread out around 8am. At the beach, we (abuela, abuelo, alex and I) dug in the sand, played in the water, took walks, watched dolphins, and many other fun tasks :)

Fairfield Visit

June 27th to July 2nd, Alex and I spent the time at Abuelos while Daddy was busy with his BarBri classes. The time was spent interviewing, visiting family and friends, riding tractors, and driving his trike. Alex and I had enjoyed ourselves!

Mimi's Pool

This afternoon, after Alex's nap, we decided to go to Mimi's pool to cool off.

Alex LOVED the water and quickly jumped in the baby pool. Then after a while he wanted in the big kids pool. We got his swimmies on and in he went. He enjoyed kicking, splashing, and playing Humpty Dumpty falling into the water. It was a good 2 hours trip and will hopefully leave him tired and ready for bed tonight :)

End of summer...

Yesterday, Pat started back to school, his second to last semester! It is hard to believe that the summer is over. Where did the time go?

Time at Fairfield

This weekend has been busy!

After arriving safely on Friday nite, Saturday morning we visited Mammaw and I got my grading done. Then in the afternoon, we ran some errands and went to Erin Overholtzer-Rose's wedding reception. Alex had a blast! There were bubbles, kids to play with and dancing. Shannon Long also had her daughter there, Olivia (3 weeks). Alex was VERY jealous when I help Olivia. But kept trying to feed her his supper. He was a very busy boy!

On Sunday, Alex had an active morning of chasing Copper and then getting his picture taken with the family. After being VERY good, he got to jump in the pool with the Abuelos. Later that evening, we helped celebrate Uncle Steve's 50th Birthday. Alex got to see a lot of family and meet the newest member, Dawson Mickey (1 week old).

Monday and Tuesday were a bit calmer. Alex got to see visit Abuela's friend Sarah and Magnee, chase Copper, play in the pool and Carroll Valley Park, and eat LOTS of peaches.

As soon as Temple's Server is up, the website should be updated with the new pictures :)

The Weekend

This past weekend at Fairfield was very busy. We left Aston at 9am on Friday. From here we went to Mimi's park to try to tire Alex out. Thankfully it worked and he slept all the on the Turnpike and most of Rt 15. Then we hit McDonald's and then saw the Abuelos. At the Abuelos, Alex got to swing on the new swing and was moved to the "guest" room. Needless to say, Alex was not impressed with the new room and screamed almost every night.

On Saturday, Alex and I helped out Magnee and Pap at the New Oxford Market. Alex kept Magnee and Pap busy and in smiles, waving to all the cars and birds. In the afternoon, Alex played with Abuelo and we went to a Party at Alicia Duff's. We had a great time and were able to talk and catch up with a few people. Once we got back, Alex played with the Abuelos before heading to bed.

On Sunday, Everyone went to the Gettysburg Amphitheater for church. Alex was not interested in sitting and explored with Abuela. After the service, we all went to Friendly's were Alex woofed down sausage and home fries. Following a nap and some food, Alex played outside under the watchful eyes of the Abuelos and Mammaw. He loves being outside
and chasing Copper (puppy) around the yard. When Mammaw went to visit Aunt Janet , Alex, Abuelos and I jumped in the pool. This was Alex's first time in the pool this year. He loved it! He especially enjoyed splashing around. The last activity was after dinner, when we went to Mammaw's for dessert. Again, Alex loved playing outside and exploring EVERYTHING.

On Monday, Alex was a crankbutt. We were packed and ready to leave at 9:45am. We went to visit Magnee to say goodbye to her and Abuelos. Alex slept fairly well on the ride home but was very unhappy once he woke up. Nothing seemed to please him until 6pm when the tylenol kicked in. Needless to say, he and I were asleep at 7pm.
