Field Trip

Today I joined HCCC on their field trip to the Patriots Museum. Sylvie had a great time, especially on the inflatables they had set out in the parking lot. I had a great time spending the afternoon with my gal.

Point Lookout

A question from Grampy about the tail end of the Maine weekend photos made me realize I should have explained something.

After we visited the Winthrops Saturday through Monday, we took a slight detour to Point Lookout (click on that link to check it out), athenahealth's retreat facility just outside of Camden. It's only about a half hour from the ferry terminal--a happy coincidence, since I needed to give a presentation there on Tuesday morning.

We stayed in one of the 100 cabins on Monday night (Sylvie kept calling it a "shed"). After my presentation in the morning we did a little bit of exploring, then headed toward home.


Cool as a Moose


This is the view from the mountaintop conference center. Not a bad place for meetings!

Braids

Pop quiz: which of Sylvie's parents did her braids this weekend? 

YouTube can teach a Daddy anything!





Showing her Eastern European roots

Sylvie loved the cooked cabbage tonight. Yes, she is a Halasz! (Ignore the tattoos, there was some play date craziness earlier today.)

Pizza!!!

Aunt Amy and Uncle Christian are in town, and Uncle Pat and Aunt Kem took us out to pizza to celebrate! 

Pizza and lemonade...




Teaching Uncle Christian "the Robot."



And the capper!

Another wonderful summer trip to North Haven

We missed it last year, but this past weekend we returned to the island of North Haven, Maine, where some of the world's best hosts and hostesses once again opened their summer home to us. Thanks so much, Winthrops, for another memorable visit!



Too fast? Check out all the photos at your leisure, in this gallery.

Another step in her art

She was so casual about sitting at the kitchen table, copying this plate that hangs over the fireplace. Kills me.

The thrill of victory

Sylvie just legitimately beat Melissa at tic-tac-toe.
