Noah wanted to take a photo of the picture he colored.

The day after the Cyclones game with the Charests, we took them to the Museum of Natural History because it’s cool.

BBQ at Kat’s

Chilling, Cousin Declan, Eating, Family Comments Off on BBQ at Kat’s

A while back Kate’s uncle Jerry was in town so we went out to a mid-week bbq at his daughter Kat’s house. I didn’t take very many photos, the food was too good, but I did want to post this one of Noah and Declan.

130627_005

…and maybe this patriotic table setting.

130627_014

…and I kind of need to put this one of Noah in Murphy’s dog cage.

130627_025

Thanks for having us out Kat!
