Fishing with Papa...
Playtime at the park (with Emmett watching)...
A special visit from Great Grandma Mary ("Grandma Murr"), Great Aunt Kathy & Great Uncle Richard...complete with fantastic gifts like baby "Susie" (that Aunt Kathy made herself!), time playing restaurant with Anna, and so much more (THANK YOU!!!)
Boat rides where Anna felt the wind in her hair and urged Papa to "go faster", flashing her thumbs up sign at every turn...
And of course, the 4th of July Parade - where Anna scored 3 times as much candy as she did last Halloween.
And all the while...more and more cuddles for our newest addition.
Believe it or not - we also enjoyed a night out to see a movie, the fireworks just the 2 of us, a visit with our friends Mark, Kristen and their 3 beautiful children, visits with Nana & Papa's dear friends and neighbors Jane & Larry, and so much more that never made it onto our camera.This vacation was a wonderful summertime getaway. We all enjoyed every moment, and were all a little sad to return to everyday life once again this morning. Upon our return and learning that we were home to stay - Anna sadly unpacked her toys from her backpack and exclaimed "I'm NOT happy about this" shortly before bursting into tears.
While living far away is difficult at times, it does make our time together even more treasured and the memories made will last forever. Thank you for a wonderful time Jim & Norma!

Whew...looks like we packed a lot into a short time. We enjoyed every minute. These pictures will surely be increasingly more valuable as years pass. We treasure every opportunity to be with all of you. Thanks for spending your summer vacation with us.
Love, Nana & Papa
Anna looks like she is thoroughly enjoying herself. Great pictures.
Mary
