A Rainy Week

I have to say, we've been quite lucky with the great summer weather we've had - until this week, that is! It's been rainy and chilly since Sunday, which proves to be a challenge when it comes to entertaining an active 3-year old!

This past weekend, Jason's cousin Lauren, her husband Mike and their 7-month-old daughter Maya came to visit from Atlanta. We had lots of family activities, from a yummy BBQ dinner at our house Saturday night to lunch and family photos on Sunday. It was so nice to see them and for everyone to meet the new babies (Maya and Zach). Hopefully the family pics came out well, considering Jason's mom insisted that all 17 of us wear the same color tops & bottoms, which I personally think looks ridiculous. But the picture wasn't for me, so I could only be so vocal! Luckily, most of the children cooperated and we might be lucky enough to get one picture where everyone is looking at the camera.

This rainy week so far, Abby and Zach have gone to the library, the park, Target and our neighbor's house. Hopefully as the rain clears up, they will enjoy more outdoor activities since there are only so many art projects to do in a week!

Speaking of outdoor activities - Jason and I may do a day trip upstate to Rhinebeck, NY, for the Dutchess County Fair on Saturday. Who wouldn't have fun with carnival rides, fried Oreos and zoo animals??
