Vermont

 I took the kids on a short trip to Vermont, with a repeat visit to see some raptors like this snowy owl.

Racing sticks through a culvert. Amazing how these kids love a race.

A hike down Quechee Gorge.

 Who needs a swim suit when you can rock a shirt like Daisy Duke?

 And hours of fun in Joe and Alice's pond.

July

 Chasing bubbles in the yard.

 Dog. 

This was originally called "the LeSean McCoy Game" but has since been updated to "the DeMarco Murray Game."

Danny and Dad take Manhattan

We got all cosmopolitan with a Metro North ride to Grand Central, and a subway ride to the Miller-Leonards in Brooklyn. We went to the Intrepid (HOT)

Lego Intrepid!

 The heat had sucked the energy out of him, until he saw this gun turret.

 A water tour.

 And the Freedom Tower observation deck.

End of (school) Days

Hanako's end-of-year school play, Peter and the Wolf.
She is not much of a ham in public.

 But back at home, here is some ridiculousness with my shoes.

And a bedtime story.

Air Show

I still remember an airshow at McGuire AFB that Grandpa V took me to in the 1980s. Leigh volunteered to go with Danny and I for a long, hot day on a Rhode Island airstrip.

Canadian Snow Birds

$2 helicopter walk-through.

 Great-Grandma V's binoculars.

 Fast and loud.

 Blue Angel #5 before their demonstration.

 "Fat Albert"

Blue Angels!

Baseball

Not very exciting out there. 

 More action back there.

 Making contact.
