Green Lakes is Beautiful! Labor Day Adventure!

So those of you from Syracuse that read this blog, please don't take offense to this, but Chris and I have not taken the time to step too far outside of the city limits to appreciate all of the surrounding beauty. So we thought Syracuse was kinda lousy. I mean with the patches of ghetto and ultra cold weather and all. But when we came back this summer we decided to have a new attitude and promised to start exploring more and enjoy the area. So that is what we did and we were very pleasantly surprised. Chris' friend suggested we go up to Green Lakes State Park. It was breathtaking. It had this long path that went around the lake. It took us a couple of hours to walk it but it was so much fun. It was a beautiful labor day. Chris even wanted to come back to go camping. He really wanted to get more of the outdoors. The cool thing was that right when we got there we ran into this family of Filipino's that offered us pork barbecue, and as any of you that know Chris, he was in heaven. I didn't realize that I had my camera, because even Missoni was holding her own stick of pork and chowing down on it. It was hilarious, she is a true Filipino. Then we took our walk to work off all of those pork calories. What a great day!

More fun pics of Missoni in Florida in May!

Bryce you are no fun, I guess I will make one last run on the stairs!

Ok, no smiling from me, I am ready to get out of here now! Bryce is a crybaby!

Oh no, why is he crying? I am not to sure about this.

Hey Bryce, How ya doing buddy? We are just about to leave.

And, I have to climb up and down the stairs a few times first!

And now it is time to leave Florida! But not with out Grandma putting a huge bow in her hair first!





Missoni and Colin played together on the last day! As you can see, Missoni is obsessed with keys! We went swimming at the Jolley's, what a nice pool. Missoni had fun!

We all went down to the beach and had a little photo shoot with Grandpa and Grandma! How cute!

Lisa invited us back to our old mommy and me class! What a great day. We had fun singing and dancing and playing with all of the toys! Missoni loves the train!

Missoni and Tatay are really close, It was very hard on them both when we were separated this summer! Look at that loving, safe hug! This was right before we departed for the summer!

Missoni loves her two grandmas. She calls this one Grandma, and the other one Oma! (German for Grandma)

Awww, Auntie Angie holding baby Bryce. We bonded, wink, wink! Bryce and I will always have a special connection!

What a beautiful, glowing, proud mamma! Bryce was 3 weeks old!

This was Missoni in May when we went to go see cousin Bryce for the first time. It was a fun short little trip!

So..... I know everyone is getting upset about me not getting to the most recent pictures of our family! So I have finally budged and decided to skip ahead. But.... I will go back and add old picts. Yes that is right, all of the whining and crying and fussing did finally work so now I am going to post the picts of this summer. Missoni had a very busy summer. First she was on a jet to Florida, where she got to spend hours on the beach playing in the sand. (She even bravely went into the ocean, once because the water was very calm that day.) We spent most of our days in the pool or playing with old friends and our Oma. It was a lovely 5 weeks. Also Brock graduated and Tiff got the baby blessed. So we had a whole week in a lovely resort. We got to also play with Londy and Brandi. It was great..... ENJOY the Florida Picts!
