Fourth of July


We took a trip to the Hollow over the Fourth of July, and it was a great time for Graham. Because of all the rain, the brook was quite fast, cold and high. This, however, did not deter Graham, who apparently should have been born in a more tropical climate as he eschews clothing on nice summer days. We were very concerned that he would not don the appropriate garments for his swim lessons (which started yesterday), but he did manage to keep his bathing suit on for 45 minutes. He did spend the remainder of the day in his wading pool in the backyard buck naked, including a trip to pick Mom up at work! As we say "Naked is as naked does!" Here's one of the few pictures of him with clothes on!

After going to the Hollow, we headed south to Keene to celebrate "baby" Jon Ryan's birthday. Graham still calls Jon "Baby Jon" which he started about some time ago to keep Jon Comerford distinct from John Wolfe (fondly known as "Big John"). Jon turned three on the Fourth, and there was quite a party for the three three-year olds (Jon, Graham and Derek) plus their older cousins (Katie and Adam)! We tried to take a walk around Goose Pond will all the Memmesheimer boys, but we had some footwear issues, and then it POURED!
