Summer Ithaca Visit 2017

Although we had some clouds and rain we had a wonderful visit to Ithaca this summer! 

Taking a boat ride is the perfect way to start the trip.

Feeling a little wind in the hair.

Charlotte was helping Grandpa drive the boat.


Nothing puts a "baby" to sleep like the gentle sound of a boat motor.

Morning hugs for Marin, Maddy and Tim...

...and Chloe, Abby and Char.


Chloe loves to be held, and fortunately there are many arms who want to hold her!

Grandma showing Timothy how to play ladder golf.

Oh yeah, this is pretty cool!


Cousin time is the best!

Char and Abby on the tube.

Maddy and Marin looking like they are having fun.

Woohoo, outside the wake!

Karla and her sweet Chloe 


Aunt Karla is out with Mar and Mads.

They are having quite a ride!


Aunt Karla was a great sport and went out again and again, this time with Char and Abs.


Who's having the most fun out there!

Sisters are pretty awesome too!

Grandma hugs are even better when you need to be warmed up.

Looks like some cool moves going on here.




Time for a sail.

Tim found part of a crawfish and picked it right up!

Chickadees hard at work coloring on rocks.


Sea glass hunters

Lake time for everyone!

One of the tremendous thunderstorms is arriving, time to head up to the house.

Saturday morning and Aunt KK and Uncle Peter have arrived.



Daddy is having some lake time on the weekend too!



Family :)

Sister time

Famer's Market

These super helpers worked together to make and decorate a birthday cake for Charlotte.


Uncle Peter = Photo Saboteur!

Those are some seriously genuine smiles!!

Uncle Gene and Grandpa

Happy early birthday Charlotte!

Makeup fun with Aunt Sandy

Checking a toy that is exactly the same as one Grandma played with when she was a little girl.

Mommy skiing


Just like riding a bike!

Daddy too


Charlotte giving it a try on the same wooden skis we all learned on. Unfortunately they were a little too big to stay on her feet so hopefully she will want to try again next year.

Marin is ready to give it a go!

One of the happiest places to be, in Aunt Karla's arms with a Chloe blanket nearby.

Marin popped up, but the skis fell off, next time!

Aunt Karla's turn

There she goes!



This kid is all worn out.

Chloe with her twin sister Phoebe or as Timothy thought "a very dirty Chloe!"

Looks what's for dinner, said Powder and Daddy!!

Hair time too, lucky girls.

Happy Daddy

Aunt Billie came for a visit too.

Helping Grandpa build the fire.

Daddy flipping Marin.

Daddy throwing Charlotte.


Daddy's turn.


Parked and ready to walk to get the pizza.

Walking back to the boat.



So tasty and fun!

Three very happy kids.
