Our little family recently took advantage of the long Fourth of a July weekend to visit our big, extended family in Buffalo. In a rare collisions of universes, aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers, and so on were all gathered from towns near and far to enjoy a sun-filled, barbecue-grilling, water-splashing good time. It was an especially good opportunity for Jonah to get to know his young cousins--for the first time as a truly mobile, bountifully curious non-infant toddler.
Another big introduction that weekend: Jonah's first pool. Finally! It was a long time coming over this hot, hot summer. Of course, it was huge hit, Jonah being the happy little fish that he is. We swam pretty much every opportunity we got.
And the water fun didn't end there. On one of our vacation days, we took a little is trip to Glen Park, a small but lovely and jam-packed-with-fun-places-to-explore park in a Buffalo suburb. Jonah checked out the many ducks (and one turtle), splashed around in a couple of waterfalls, and channeled his inner geologist in a search for the best creek-bed stones. So much fun!
