Pop's Toys









Back at home on Greensward Drive, Brady and I entertained ourselves with Pop's toys. Early in the mornings, I helped Pop look for golfballs that had been left behind the day before in the woods. We drove Grammy and Pop's "golf tractor", although I was disappointed to realize it does not have a horn. Pop even has a car small enough for me to play cool dude in the front seat! Next year maybe Brady and Tad will be big enough for me to take them for a spin...

South Cove













We spent our afternoons down at South Cove Beach- Brady and i loved playing in the sand. We listened to Mommy and friends relive there "wild" beach days here in Eastman. The water was pretty warm, although one day it was quite windy. Tad has become quite a regular down at the beach late in the afternoon most days.

Hospital Day In New London





















Mommy was thrilled we were able to see a New England small town summer fair in New London, New Hampshire. Coop was able to ride a real fire truck, a carnival helicopter and a train pulled by a tractor. As you can see, Aunt kate appropriately found the sweets store named after her. We all had a great time walking around, although we could never find the alpacas that Grammy swore were there....Maybe next year... speaking of next year Tad and I will be old enough to ride in the fire truck around the block with Coop!

And the summer tour heads to....





























Next, our summer tour headed to the Shire. We were excited to spend time with all of the Gaffney Gang (except for Uncle Johnny who was at a golf tournament)! In addition we had a great time with numerous members of the old Eastman Circle-including the Kennys, Cashmans, Adamics, Keups and Tildens. The first day we headed back to Billings Farm in Vermont where luckily this year Coop was not headbutted by a cow. Can you find Brady in the corn?
