1st Family Reunion

For my first family reunion we had quite an adventure. We meet the whole Rothschild & Haar family at Asilomar, a resort in Pacific Grove, CA. It was BEAUTIFUL! We got to see a lot of neat stuff, when we finally made it there, but our travel sure did take a long time.

We missed our first flight and weren't able to get on another one until 5 pm that same night. Due to other problems and weather, we were in the airport for over 12 hours because our flight didn't end up leaving until after 7pm. Uncle Malcolm & Uncle Brian were so nice to wait for us to arrive and took us to the resort. We finally arrived at 11:30.

Our first day was lazy, we mostly relaxed and took the drive on 17 mile drive through Pebble Beach to Carmel. Then we spent the evening with family. On the next day, we went to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium where we saw the new sea horse exhibit. Then we had the family photo taken.

On Sunday everyone but Dad and I got to go on a boat ride. It was in an estuary, and they don't like to take children on the boats because we make noise and scare the animals away. Dad and I took a walk and then a nap. Mom likes this photo because you can see my feet standing on the bench. Everyone on the trip had an animal to count, and Mama counted Otters (her favorite!). Here is a good photo of one that they saw.

My 1st ADPi Convention

Right after Fathers Day, Mom and I went to Orlando for the Alpha Delta Pi Convention. Grammy met us there so she could watch me. We did a lot of swimming, walking and napping. Grammy and I got a lot of rest while Mom ran around crazy. But Mom did get a little time to spend with us at the pool too!

Grammy and I went to the old timers dinner with Mom. I got to be in the fashion show and my Mom's friend Barry held me. She was dressed in one of the old Alphie Costumes. It didn't bother me at all. Mostly I wanted to play with her mane made of yarn.

Here is a photo of Mama with her friends! Don't they look pretty in their white dresses.

Father's Day, Birthday & Zoo Day with Daddy

On Dad's First Fathers Day and Birthday we went on my first trip to the zoo. Dad slept in late, Mom made him french toast (his favorite). She wanted to make it with challah, but she forgot to pick some up, so Dad had to have french bread for his french toast. That makes sense to me, but they won't let me have any yet. Dad says challah makes the best french toast, but that this was really good too. We let him open some of his gifts, the fathers day ones. He let me help him. I really like the envelopes and cards. Then we went to the zoo.

It was kind of hot, and I liked watching the people more than the animals, but I did like seeing the rhino, the giraffes and the elephant show. I kind of liked all of the peacocks too, but Mom said they are mean, and wouldn't let me get close enough to inspect one. Mom took pictures of us in front of the elephant and the rhino. And we stopped in one of the grassy park areas to stretch and play in the grass.

When we got home, we worked in the garden. Ranger ate more strawberries than Dad could pick and Mom took my 7 month growth chart photos. Later we let Dad finish his birthday gifts, and had dinner on the patio. It was a great day to celebrate my Daddy!

Estes Park

Grandma Gail and Grandpa Bob came to visit in June, and we went to Estes Park. It was a lot of fun, even though I couldn't see all of the animals they were seeing from the inside of my car seat. They tell me we saw deer, elk and big horn sheep.

We did have a good time walking the main street, and eating at the cheese restaurant.

Hope you enjoy these photos!

Computer Woes

We finally have our computer back after it crashed and Dad had to rebuild the hard drive. We are being very careful with it, and trying not to download to much onto the computer. For now it seems to be working well.

We have a lot to catch up on!

Grandma and Grandpa Haar came for a visit and we went to Estes Park.

Fathers Day & Dad's Birthday was our first family trip to the zoo!
