Summer Vacation 2009 - Rolling Rock

Reading a booka-booka-booka with Pop before we left for Rolling Rock.

Carly dropped in to say hello.

This was the view from our cabin at Rolling Rock - beautiful!

MB loved rolling around in the grass.

Getting ready to take off.

Climbing around on the deck of the cabin with Pop and Aunt Weez (DEEEEEEEZ!!)

The beautiful pool at Rolling Rock.

Checking out the sandbox with Nanny.

Turns out Mary Beth doesn't love sand. And she was scared of the huge turtle.

But she LOVES the water.

It did not take long for her to get comfortable in the pool.

Fun, fun.

The little turtle in the pool was a lot less scary.


The hunting lodge. Mary Beth thought this was a horse.


She loved looking at the real horses too.

There was lots of loud "neighs!"

More play time on the lawn.

Here she was saying "Bye bye..."

Playing ball with Daddy.

Grownups enjoying some vino.

A little too much vino.

And more vino.

MB loved sitting on the fireplace in the living room with her books.

Some golf course shots courtesy of JTH.

View of the cabin from the 10th hole.

Watching the fish at the hatchery with Pop.

We taught Mary Beth to say shhhhhh when riding around the golf course (she's not picking her nose).

Walking back from dinner with the family.

This was when she decided she didn't want to go to bed - before the meltdown. We considered leaving her there.

MB loves Elmo. So much she was trying to climb up the TV to get to him.

Playing at Nanny and Pop's

4th of July Weekend

We kicked off the weekend in Williamsburg. MB loved swimming with her cousins.

Getting a squeeze from Thomas.

Conner took this one at the dinner table.

MB did not want to take a picture, she just wanted to keep playing!

All dressed up for Sean's first birthday/4th of July party at the McDermott's.
Family pic.

Loving the 4th of July decorations...notice we aren't wearing any clothes.

Playing the water station with the birthday boy. This was the reason for no clothes - she was soaked!

Cake time!

MB spies something sweet out of the corner of her eye...

Maybe he'll give me a bite...

Just one, please?

Maybe I'll just help myself...

Yum!

More please!

We were trying to get MB to bed. She was climbing on top of Sean's activity table.

Fireworks!

A day in the life of MB...

Here are some of MB's favorite activities.

Aunt Jane, these are for you!

MB plays peekaboo...

She climbs the stairs...

And learns new words! Kind of...
