Early June

More Grand Island Hiking

Ian's Second Birthday

A trip to Pittsburgh to catch-up with old friends and meet Calvino.

Also we were given Smore's, the horse pictured below.  Grace loves him...thanks so much Jon and Carolyn!

A trip to the botanical gardens

Here are a few cute pictures of Grace, one while we were shopping and the other with her scrap wood bunny we made.  He is aptly named scrappy.  You'll notice Grant isn't in quite as many pics as Gracie.  He wasn't done with school until June 21st!  Thankfully I was done with the semester back in May.

We put in a privacy fence between us and our neighbor.

The kids had fun helping build it.

May in a Nutshell

Canalside and the Military Museum in Buffalo

Hiking around Grand Island

A Little Backyard Camping

Visit from Beth (& a Grand Island 10k)

Trip to Papa Jim's

The kids loved the "maze" that he had mowed into his field.

Meeting Charlie

We traveled south to meet the Hetrick's newest family member.  Raymour and Charlie played well together and Raymour was really tolerant of those sharp puppy teeth (*see below).  He started defending himself by sitting on him!

Random pics

Gracie had a few nights where she was having trouble sleeping in her bed.  She's back on track now although she seems to fall out of it fairly often.

Gracie is an animal lover through and through.

Grant with a Lego starship of his own invention.

These two seem to be getting along pretty good these days.  Luna used to growl and occasionally snap at Raymour but lately she seems to tolerate him being around.  Raymour is so good at dealing with her being a grump.  In her defense, he is a complete oaf and probably would accidentally level her when trying to play.

This is from the arcade at the Rainforest Cafe.  The kids had a blast and we didn't even have any quarters!  It was our second trip to the cafe and we had just as good of a time as the first (gotta love groupons).
