May Visit

Ok, over a month late I know but back in May Rachel, Noah, and Eva came to visit.  I'm not sure what her verdict was on the 6 hour trip (other than it was long) but we are sure glad she made it - and hope it didn't scare her off for another.

Upon arrival Noah  first checked out the animals before but Eva looked a bit stunned: not quite sure what had just happened.  Everyone soon settled in and it was time to burn off some energy.

 Noah has learned to run!





Does Rachel look excited at the prospect of chasing a running child?


Over the few days we got to take walks, play with both kids and Noah was particularly taken with the idea of a bird sitting on Nana's head (photo to follow soon).  He was great about standing still so the the bird would come near and take a bath, but it was just too exciting to stay still once that happened and he just had to jump up and down.  So the bird left.

There was also a visit to Ithaca to see their great-grandparents as well as a trip up to T-burg to visit Ellie and Sue.

As always, we were struck by how much energy it takes to raise kids.
