a special father's day message sent to his grandpa and grandpa allen!

lookin cute as ever!

he gets a new toy and all he can do is play with the box... you'd think he was a cat or something.

enjoying a lazy afternoon.

playing with jeffrey lee's nephews at the park!

quite the artist, no?

playing with daddy's old micro machines!

a special afternoon out with daddy- a smiley faced donut and strawberry milk!

diana said that ledger thought this was especially funny- it was a daddy ghosty on the door!  its my shirt and hat that to him looked like a fun ghosty!

fun at the library

ledge enjoying the magician.  he didn't always follow the tricks, but he loved the huge group of people!

his favorite library event was definitely the petting zoo- he couldnt keep his hands off the little chicks!

so excited!

he even got to feed the goat!  well, kind of...

he felt pretty cool when all the vehicles were there, sitting in the driver seat like daddy does!

always a goof ball!

he was mystified by the crime dog...

up boat trip 2

a panorama of the beach we stopped at for lunch.

here's to you, beach boy!

aaron and i enjoying the beach!

a panorama of aaron and i on the rapids as the girls look at the rocks.

you can't tell from the photo, but this water was absolutely freezing!  it took a lot of work to build up or tolerance to the cold to even get into the rapids.

i'm pretty sure the water flowing down had been snow just hours ago...

the beautiful lighthouse on grand island.
