July 2012 (continued)

7/15/12: A surprise birthday party for Janet, aka Grandmama. It was a good excuse for a pool party. Here we are putting up decorations at Claire's house.

Hanging out at the pool.

Splashing fun.

Grandmama gives the buddy a thrill by swinging him through the water.

Opening presents.

Cara gets a ride.

Owen and Daddy sampling some ice pop things.

Owen had quite a few of those ice pop things...

A pair of scary monsters.

Owen discovered that if he sat on the second step of the pool, the water was right up to his chin. Fun!

Aunt Claire chasing the buddy! This was after Owen had determinedly chased Aunt Claire halfway around the pool.

7/29/12: A playdate with cousin Griffin!
