Visitors!

Last Saturday, we had two rounds of company in one day - it was great!  First Jessica and Joe stopped by in the morning/afternoon on their way from Lake Wallenpaupack to their home in Duncannon, then Jason came up from Maryland to hang for the evening.  It was awfully hot in the morning, but as the afternoon and evening wore on the clouds rolled in and the temperature was quite pleasant.  We were able to spend most of the day outside, with Trafton hanging in the pool.

Trafton is enamored by Jessica and thinks she comes around just to play with him.  We took a walk on Main Street and she bought him an Elmo book that he was delighted to find at the Salvation Army.

Playing "Ashes" which is what Trafton calls "Ring Around the Rosie"



The best part of "Ashes" is when you get to fall down and tackle the person you are playing with :)  Really, any game that ends in a tackle is one of Trafton's favorites.



Relaxing by the pool with Jess and Joe

Uncle Jason brought Trafton many birthday presents, among them being an army jeep, tank, and trailer set that Trafton was instantly thrilled with.  Here he is showing Jason his other favorite trucks.

More pool time, this time with Jason

This has quickly become a classic expression of Trafton's - hands in the air, meaning he can't find something that he wants.

He LOVES this pool!

Getting his uncle all wet with a hug

We were so relaxed out in the yard that we just kept on hanging and grilled out and had our dinner out there, too.  Trafton was finally coaxed from the water when it got dark out and the food was ready.
