Playground cleanup

My teacher mentioned to the class that there was a lot of garbage on the school playground. So on Friday evening, after dinner, I suggested to Dad that we go clean it up. Friday night trash pickup party!

Mélanie Watt

While I was in school today, Mom went to the bookstore and met one of our favorite kid's book authors, Mélanie Watt, who writes/illustrates the Scaredy Squirrel series of books. She signed some books for me (including a birthday book just in time for my birthday), and mom got to take one of the drawings she did at the store home - the one with the piranha, alligator and germs :)

Strollin'

Took a walk with Mom today along the river on the Niskayuna Bike Path.

It's soccer time

Tonight was my first soccer practice of the 2015 season.

Happy Labor Day

We made our way down to Kingston for the weekend. The weather was warm and we took advantage of it by doing some swimming at Grandma's pool at Twin Lakes before they closed up for the season. G'ma and her friends had a little party and they fixed me a plate of snacks. I swam, dove for pennies, and just floated around, enjoying the holiday.

Call me Mr. Hoover

Mom and Dad were cleaning up around the house, so I decided to lend a hand. Dad was in another room when he heard the vacuum running. When he came to investigate, he found this.

The Force Awakens

Running some errands with Mom today and stopped into Target where they have lots of stuff promoting the new Star Wars film that comes out in a few months. Chewbacca is tall and the new lightsaber is pretty cool.

Back to school

The first day of 2nd grade.

Coming home to Mom on day one

Kingston

Spent the day in Kingston today. Walked through the Farmer's Market, checked out the Fireman's Museum and vintage firetrucks, and explored the inside of the Old Dutch Church. Then went swimming with Grandma and picked up some Greek food for dinner. Well. everyone but me. I had a hot dog.

Last Summer trip to the Cape

Back on the Cape! We stayed with aunt Tory and her family for a couple of days, then over to Ken & Tom's. Played at the beach, ate seafood, played mini-golf, bocce ball, and walked 3/4 of a mile into Cape Cod Bay during low tide.
