Morning at Mansfield Hollow

We spent a few hours taking it easy in the shade in Mansfield Hollow.

Julia thought the water was cold at first...




Beach babe:


Ignore my grimace - I liked Julia's faraway look in this one.






A dog was there (with his owner), ignoring the wishes of the Windham Water Dept.


My view, lying down on a blanket.


Father-daughter talk.


Just before heading back.

Flowers After Rain

Corruption!

Grandparents shamelessly corrupting an innocent young girl with ice cream!!!

Julia is definitely enjoying having Bunica and Bunicu around lately.

She was given ice cream and strawberries, and she kept dipping the strawberries in the ice cream and licking them clean. After a while, she started feeding the grandparents:

Swing up high! - Part 2

Yes, that was Julia in the swing. Here's another picture from the same day. She really loves that swing!

Swing Up High

We finally put up a big swing in the back yard, much to Julia's delight.

She didn't want to get out, and she never thought she was going too high... "Papa push Julia higher!"

Obrigado Titi Rita

A Julia adorou o vestido. :)

Nap time

Julia's been having really long naps lately. She slept 4 hours twice this week... (the other days she napped around 3 hours). Anyway, here's a picture from today's nap (she's still sleeping...)

Grandparents at Bakerwoods

Yet another visit to Bakerwoods, this time with the grandparents. It was not too hot & muggy yet - and we had a great time.



Grandpa & the goat.


Granma & Julia keeping a safe distance.


I call this one "Duck in the Darkness", but Roxi prefers "Shadow Duck".


Taking a little break on a bench by the lake.

Close up

Julia loves fruit...

Rhododendron in Bloom

These were taken a few days ago in our back yard.
