Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome

This past weekend we took a trip an hour north to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.  My grandfather and dad  had taken me there several times when I was a kid and we wanted Anna to experience it.  Ron offered to stay home with the little man since he's not a friendly traveler (putting it mildly).  We enjoyed seeing planes and cars from the World War I and II era.  Anna's favorite part was when the threw toilet paper rolls out of the cockpit and then circled around to cut it with their propellers.  Here are some pictures of the day:

Uncle Ricky

This past Sunday, Ricky and Glara took Anna to NYC to the American Girl Doll store.  Anna had an amazing time and was treated to her first taxi ride, a rickshaw ride, pizza, candy, cupcakes and several items from the American Girl Doll store.  She came home very excited and can't wait to go back again!

2nd Grade

Oh the excitement!  2nd grade began today and Anna could. not. wait!  Up at 6:21...no need for any alarm clocks in this house!  New backpack, sneakers (did I mention they light up?), lunchbag, etc.....2nd grade, here we come!
