East Coast Trip (Part II)

We've been quite busy lately ~ going to Gymboree, the Zoo, Play group, swimming... and Madeleine is WALKING!!! (but i'm getting ahead of myself).

Here are pictures from the second part of our East Coast Trip (back in June!!)

Let's start in Ellicottville at my mom & Rich's house (aka Mimi & PopPop ~ we went there after staying with my dad in Olean).
Madeleine LOVED the pony my mom found at the Auction!!! It's legs make it go up & down while it rolls along.
(It was like Christmas morning: no one could get dressed before the fun began! ;)



a video:

(and as you can see, Madeleine still loves dogs ~ she'll point them out & make her excited sound whenever she sees one. :)

Playing with all the Treasures Mimi collects & brings out!!! =)


The perfect instrument for babies!!


Daddy joins his girls!!! =)
... first stop, the Auction!

Having fun with our auction purchase!!



Showing Sharkey the pony!


Madeleine's turn to push the pony!













This made the whole trip worthwhile to Sharkey! :P


Playing at the airport!



good thing, too, b/c we were on the 1.5 hour Buffalo to Atlanta flight for 5.5 hours!!! (due to 'weather' in Atlanta) AND wound up hunting for a hotel in Atlanta from 2 - 4am b/c our flight to San Francisco left without us!!! now that was fun. (actually, miss maddie was the best traveller of the 3 of us!) ah, never a dull moment! :P
but despite all that, the trip was DEFINITELY worth it!
Thank you, mom & Rich, for a wonderful visit!!!! =) (hopefully we'll see you in san francisco soon! :)
