August 2011

In August, G-G and Pop-Pop visited. Calvin was so happy to see them again!

They brought Calvin a new bike, and Calvin assisted Pop-Pop and Daddy in putting it together.

Looked good enough to eat, he thought!

When they finished, Calvin hopped right on. In no time at all, he had learned how to ride it and ding the bell like a pro.

Calvin loves wheels, whether in sets of two or four!

He's ready to go for a ride...

We went to Lake Placid to celebrate G-G's birthday!
Happy Birthday G-G!

We had fun in the sun, with good weather and good company.

Calvin went for his first kayak ride too, and tested a few different kayaks.

Everyone was climbing on board!

After so much playing in the sunshine, Calvin was tired! He lounged by the lake, taking a break from the water with G-G.

We went back to relax in the suite for a bit,

Where Calvin had fun playing with Pop-Pop,

And learning with G-G.

Eating is always fun for Calvin!

Back in the water,

With a little pool just Calvin's size.

And a big one for everyone.

When we got back to VT, we didn't have much time to rest -
off we were to see the Mientka's!

Of coarse, Calvin had to take one more ride before they left!

We went to the annual Memorial Day party at the Aunt Katie and Uncle Chuck's house.

Calvin got see his east coast cousins all together.
It was a great reunion!

Calvin was sad to see G-G and Pop-Pop leave the next day, but he had had such a great visit!


After all that excitement, there was still more to come in August.
Calvin had more visitors...

Aunt Sara,

And Cousin Joseph!

Calvin had so much fun playing,

And reading,

And exploring!

It was so nice to have them here again!
We all had a blast!
