Here is Cole and I at our first raft up. We met our friends and anchored up at the horsefarm. It was our first overnight truly on the water with Cole (not in the marina). We were about 6 boats tied up. It was quiet and wonderfully cool that night. We slept with the door open and enjoyed every second.

Cole's First Plane Ride!
It was an emotional weekend for many reasons...
Cole's first plane trip to New York. Thank goodness for Southwest.... they are so nice.... since there was extra seats (on both flights coming and going) Cole was able to have his own seat. Here he is with Daddy... fast asleep.
Our trip to NY was not without purpose... we gathered lay Mom to rest. Cole didn't get to meet his Grandma on the outside but she was very excited to feel him on the inside. We gathered at the cemetary and Linda read the reading that she read when my Mom and Pete were married. It was nice. The next day, Linda and I planted flowers and made everything look pretty.
Cole finally was able to meet many of his new cousins and other family members for the first time. It was a fun reunion of sorts! Uncle Robert, Cousins Alex, Robert and Jesse and Uncle Jimmy! He also met Ms. Nilda, and Juliana. Everyone took turns holding Cole.

Weekend Fun...
We have been having this bird poop problem outside our house so after much "googling" on Al Gore's internet of this issue, we came up with this cheap solution. If you look close... you can see that I have hung CDs from the tree. Apparently, the birds will be scared by the CDs and take off (here's hoping!).
Sunday we took a walk to the farmers market but it was hot hot hot and we had to come back rather quickly to get back in the comforts of the AC :-(
Daddy had Cole in the bjorne but they both ended up in a big sweatball when all was said and done.
