I'll NEVER forget...

Back to School

First Day of School...

YIPPEEEEEEE, WAAAAAHOOOOOOO, HOORAY, YAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Summer Wrap-Up Part 3

Maria and Michael took some time every week to work on schoolwork and we also spent time at the library.
Lots of time was spent being silly...

and Em and Lu even found time to take naps every once in while!

School starts in a few days and we're all looking forward to all the fun things we do in the fall!

Summer Wrap-Up Part 2

We celebrated Nick and Dan's birthdays, Emily's half birthday...

Maria, Michael and Emily did crafts every week at Club Galleria, we had fun at the Balloon Festival even though the wind was too strong and no ballons took off and we did our part to help keep the Village Creamery in business.

Sadly, we also hosted four hermit crab funerals. Army, pictured below, is the last man standing.

Summer Wrap-Up Part 1

(Because I have so many pix to post, I've decided to do it in parts)

As usual, summer sped by. The Massa family didn't do all the things we usually do during the summer (due to money, weather and distance) but we still managed to have plenty of fun.

We spent lots of time at the park, we saw lots of movies, Harry Potter at the drive-in and made many visits to the Children's Museum.

When it wasn't raining we relaxed in our yard and cooled off in our pool, slipped all over our slip 'n slide or played soccer, football and frisbee.

County Fair

We had a blast at the Dutchess County Fair.

We didn't get to spend the whole day there because Tropical Storm/Hurricane Danny sent a drenching our way. Despite the rain in the late afternoon, we got there early enough so that we were able visit with the 4H livestock, the exotic animal displays and the butterfly tent. Maria, Michael, Emily and Lucy got to go on all the rides they wanted and we all got to sample the "world famous" Dutchess County Fair milkshakes.

Everyone is already looking forward to our next visit next year!
