weekend update

live from pa...it's your weekend update! ok, so maybe to you, our weekend was not as fun as an episode of saturday night live, but for us it was pretty darn fun!

john and i both had off on friday so it was another 3-day weekend after the long one the weekend prior. the weekend kicked off with haircuts for tony d and i on thursday evening. we went shorter for tony than ever before using the clippers this time. miss alicia did a great job! here are some after shots of tony posing so silly!

we packed up thursday night/friday morning and headed to oak creek for the long weekend. corinne and david got there on wednesday so they had all the "kitchen" stuff set up already which was nice and made it an easy set up for us this time so it was done in no time. tony enjoyed hooking his "car" up to his camper and pretending to tow it "like daddy does in his big truck". it was adorable!

friday evening we enjoyed the company of our friends marjori and bobby who stopped by with their son aden for an evening by the campfire. they brought pizzas and marjori's (now) famous mac & cheese (she uses brie in hers with another secret ingredient which i've not been told yet)....it was fabulous! it was fun night and tony loved playing with aden.

saturday was an exciting day. first thing in the morning tony and d caught a frog (on the picnic table)! we let him go but not after tony wanted to pose with it for a picture. it was very cute and scary thing was...it wasn't all that much bigger than our frog carmine at home (the same frog that we grew since he/she/it was a tadpole).

after the crazy tornado watch and storms blew over, john, david and the boys went down to see the firetruck display at the main office of the campground. the local bowmansville ladder truck was there and the kids got to climb around in/on it and john got some great pictures and video of anthony and harrison. t just loved being in the driver's seat and turning the wheel!

the boys each received a "fireman hat" and tony was very proud of his! he was in his glory!

anthony and harry really just enjoyed playing with each other. harrison is really becoming more active and tony is always his usual helper with him and just in general. here are some cute pictures of anthony leaning in to kiss harry when surprisingly harry grabs tony and end up munching on his nose...those darn new teeth! the progression of the pictures is quite funny!

what is also funny in these pictures is the obviousness of the toning of the boys skin color. harry (for being the irish/german baby) sure has the italian olive coloring (that somehow corinne got too) that anthony (being the italian/german baby) somehow didn't get. but you can sure tell they're related, can't you!? that first picture says it all!

all in all, we ate well...

had some fun...

and did plenty of relaxing...

hope you all had a good weekend too!
