Cooperstown

Dwight played golf Sunday morning, so the kids and I went to a rec park where there were batting cages, mini-golf and go-karts. Siobhan's head hurt after the go-karts. She said, "Mi duelle, mi duelle la cabesa." Translation: "Hurt, Hurt in my head" ( She thinks )

Later that day, we picked Dwight up and all went to the Baseball Hall of Fame and Doubleday Field.

Big Love

It started nice.


Then things started to get ugly.


She had to defend herself.


Fortunately, it ended quickly.

Independence Day at the Hayden Creek Inn

We spent 4th of July weekend in Springfield, NY which is about a 4 hour drive from home. Our neighbors in Teaneck (Joe and Glynnis) own the Hayden Creek Inn and invited us to spend the holiday with them. We had a great weekend, filled with fun, big laughs and relaxation.

Henry caught a few crayfish in the creek. Dwight wanted to cook them, but Glynnis, who is a vegetarian, quickly vetoed that idea. :)

The Inn and back garden.

The parade.

At the end of the parade, all of the spectators follow the parade route to a park where there is music and barbeque.

Philly with the Reichlers

The old train terminal is now a large market, filled with specialty grocers and knick-knacky shops. We had breakfast there at the Down Home Diner. Then we walked around a bit, browsing and buying.


Ian and Dwight at breakfast.


While waiting for our table, Henry played some songs on the jukebox.


Josh and Dwight in the market. Looks like they're talking about somebody.


Henry buying "#1 Dad" golfballs for Dwight for Father's Day.

Dwight in foodie heaven, buying lots of interesting oils and spices. And a weird plant.

Alex outside the Reading Terminal.

And Josh.

And Anne and Ian as well!

Then we walked around, taking in the sights.

Tourists.

Me and Anne. So good to spend even a little bit of time together.

Siobhan and Henry 'chillin' at an empty fountain. They were tired of walking.
