Nina and I joined the rest of my family and 70 other members of my Dad's side of the family to celebrate my Grandmother's 90th birthday. While she turned 90 in January, the festivities have continued though July, culminating with an all day family reunion this past Saturday in the Pittsburg area. While the trip was quite exhausting for the kids (and I'm sure I would have aged an extra 5 years without the travel help of my faithful sidekick, Mouse), they really enjoyed themselves at the party on Saturday.
The farm has become a big hit since Nina is recognizing all the animals now. She does a pretty good "moo" imitation for the cow and a single "baa" when she sees the sheep. The ducks are still a big hit, and the playground onsite is also a bonus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0obquQwq68
Nina and I headed out yesterday evening for a cookout with some friends from JMU. Nina was very excited to wear her cool red shoes (a gift a friend brought back from overseas), and she loved swinging on Judd and Chrissy's hammock, climbing their stairs, and checking out their dog.
One of Nina's favorite meals is ravioli. You can see how much she enjoys it but how much cleaning up there is to do afterwards! To get the full effect, click on the picture, and the enlarged photo shows the mess a little better.
