Fun City
Our annual trip to Fun City was the first week of June this year. Dad flew with Mom and the boys to help get them settled and then sadly had to fly home to work. But soon enough he was back for more fun. It was HOT in KC - especially the beginning of the week. Typical 95 degrees and humidity - but it wouldn't be the same without the heat.
Thanks to Gigi and Papi for making it such a fun week. We boated, swam, wined, dined, visited a couple swimming pools, visited Grams where Tommy walked into one of her neighbor's room and wished her a happy (99th) birthday, played at the park, fished and relaxed.
"Diamond Lil" out for an early morning spin - perhaps waking up neighbors with the reved up engine.
"I drive the boat." Nice work, T.
Danny enjoyed his first boat ride!
Start it up, T.
Cocktail cruise time. Sticking with she shade.
This is the life
Cooling off in my pool
Hanging with Gigi
I'm in charge around here
Our own waterpark
There's room for 2
We were graciously hosted at the Kansas City Country Club, where Mom coached swimming WAY back when, by Mom's good friend Sarah (Remley) Grant. Mom's other good friend Buffy (Bowen) Gunter joined - along with the 3 "Grandmas." Here I am with a few of my friends - Mary, Gracie and Remley - Will and Peter are adventuring off the high dive.
Pool time
Getting ready to catch my first fish.
Let's GOOOOOO!
No pics taken of the actual fish, but I did help with the worms and touched the swirmy fish.
Cheese - cute with Papi!
More boat time
Gigi and Papi took me to my first Royals Game. Thanks for my new hat, taking me on the carousel and treating me to a hot dog. Papi's goal was 2 innings. After 1.5, "it's time to go now." Papi said, "just a few more bats" - not sure that a 2.5 year old gets waiting but they made it to 2 innings.

Summer Fun
Here are a few shots taken from Mom's phone while playing around. Tommy loves to push Danny around the yard and Danny thinks it's quite funny!
A usual afternoon activity

Danny just chilin' in the hippo with his bud Scout
Our future Yankee
Run those bases
Liam turned 2 in May so Tommy drew him a picture. Mom tried to capture the perfect shot - not sure why - and here is part of the series. For a few minutes, I thought I'd get them close together, both looking, arms around each other and then I snapped out of it - ha! Happy, happy 2nd birthday Liam (in May).

Mountain Getaway
To kick off summer, for Memorial Day Weekend we ventured to Snowmass for a little family getaway. It was gorgeous weather and we had a lot of fun. Despite Tommy throwing up at the beginning of the Glenwood Canyon (meaning no where to escape for at least 15 miles - poor guy), everyone did well! We biked, played with the Godleys, visited the hot springs in Glenwood with Aunt Beth and just enjoyed the mountain air!
If you look closely, you can see the monkeys inside the Burley ready to go!
Biking the scenic Rio Grande trail - so fun! Dad got his beer after for pulling the munchkins
Cutting through town with a good view of our reception site - The Jerome!!
The boys
Danny checking out the pebbles
The Godleys were in Aspen the same weekend so we played at the park. Sweet Claire giving Danny a hug. She told me she "got to pet the goats" after their journey up at Maroon Bells. Too cute!
Enjoying the water
After a salty Mexican meal, who doesn't love some yummy Paradise ice cream. Looking like twins.
Delicous!
