Month: August 2010

Quinn was a lucky little boy to have visits from all of his Chicago grandparents in August. While Corky and Meg were here, we visited the town of New Hope PA for a walk through the town and a ride on the train. We last visited New Hope in April and I think Quinn enjoyed it that much more on this visit. We waved at all the people as we were leaving town, said choo choo an infinite amount of times, and had a great time all around.

Here\’s Quinn spotting the train coming in to the station.

Grampa and Grandma looking quite dapper as they check out the engine.

One guess on what Don is saying. Quinn seems pretty happy 🙂

On our last day with Mae, we headed in to NYC for lunch and a little Central Park. Rain was forecasted for later in the day so we didn\’t want to make it too much of an adventure. We had a great veggie lunch at Candle Cafe and then took a walk in Central Park.

We found a pond where people sail little sail boats and also have motorized \”speed\” boats. We saw one guy put a \”rescue\” boat in the water to fetch a boat that must have died. Here\’s Quinn checking out the action.

Mae and Quinn. The building in the distance is where hawks have set up a nest and there was a big uproar when the building tried to evict them.

The day after Mae arrived, we decided to drive not too far and to get some fresh air and exercise. We headed to the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. It\’s a beautiful trail that runs through the woods and has a boardwalk trail through the swamp.

Quinn hit the ground running.

A game of peek-a-boo.

Mae got Quinn giggling and having a great time.

This is Quinn\’s favorite area of the park. There is a big circle of tree stumps that they must use for story telling or campfires. Quinn loves to jump from stump to stump but his legs are not quite long enough. Mae\’s giving him a hand. Stretch….
