Beach

East Coast beaches are warm.
This allows the Westies to strut their stuff on the beach.
A couple of jumbo jets flew overhead while a Coast Guard helicopter hovered nearby; at that moment no one could hear Miki scream.Strutting.

Documentation of one 24 hour period of Oregonians.
Here's Pete trying to hold it together after the shared bath. Miki is screaming somewhere in the background.
The next morning, Ida showed off her eating skills.Pete's so proud!Then, off to the petting zoo.Ida really likes goats, we hear.
"There's a buffalo in dere!"No buffalo!Ergo carrying for the babies.Ida getting naked, again.Ida and her baby Matthew. Her doll is missing half its hair and is pretty much abused on an hourly basis. Ashley's ice cream for lunch . . .
. . . and Pepe's apizza for dinner. That's how we do it here.

Naked Cousins

Danny got a real chuckle out of Ida's naked antics.And then everyone took a bath.

Oregonians!

Aunt Ella, "Crazy" Uncle Pete, and cousins Ida and Miki are here for a visit.
Wrangling 4 kids isn't easy.
Especially when one of them seems to be related to the Incredible Hulk.
Like Miki.

July Bonus Photos

Some never-before seen photos that didn't make the first cut.

He also "helped" DKV by whacking him in the shin with the rake.

Leigh Shops, and Walks

Our physical therapist brought a shopping cart to help Leigh practice walking. She also took away our crash pad, but DHV doesn't seem to notice.

See Danny's equivalent video here.

Danny and Leigh meet Baby Kate

Our first meeting with Matt and Stacey's Baby Kate!
DHV got bored quickly, and demanded "where is de stroller?" After Matt retrieved it, Danny demanded to put the baby in it. Matt offered up his ancient Curious George, and away he went. Then, back to the baby.Leigh looks a little worried.BabyMomma attack on Brooklyn Heights!Running attack, too.

"The Elevator"

This is a fun game that Danny invented while visiting friends.
"I'm in the elevator!" he exclaimed.

Vermont

Danny woke up in the morning and started in with the "I want to go to Vee-mont!"
So we went.
DHV relaxing in the grass.
This is what results when you slap your face with a cream-cheese covered piece of toast. "Dirty face!" as Danny would say.
Leigh looking like she got caught with her hands in the cookie jar.
Playing with some new "yellows" lakeside.
Canoeing.
