Start of Summer Weekend
On Saturday we got Charlotte's kiddie pool out, and had a good time splashing around. Mommy took some photos of Charlotte and Daddy enjoying the 85° weather.

JoAnn's Rose Garden - good again this year!
On Sunday, Father's Day, we went to Church at Ridge Road Wesleyan Church. There was a cookout and then a Vintage Car Rally. It was really fun to see all the old cars, and Charlotte loved it.
Herbie - the love bug!

Charlotte on Santa's lap
We had a fun filled afternoon at Jillian's of Albany on North Pearl St, in downtown Albany. Charlotte got to sit on Santa Claus' lap again, the second time in two days! Wow, that jolly old man does manage to get around!
This time she got a kitchen set with pots an pans. This is great as she is getting a kitchen for Christmas (shhhh!)
They also had air-brush tattoos, a crafts table and caricature drawings. Downstairs in the game room there was pizza and soda, and the games too (but those where really only for the older kids).
Caricature of Charlotte
The caricature was great!
We all had a wonderful afternoon, and much thanks to Shaina Morron and the Albany Branch of The Starlight Children's Foundation (NY, NJ, CT). Once again a memorable outing we got to share with Charlotte! Thanks!
AquaDuck Tour of Albany
Today we went on an AquaDuck Tour of Albany with Starlight Children's Foundation. It was a blast, and very cool to see and learn about our wonderful state capital from the fun and entertaining environment of an AquaDuck.
Day out at Adirondack Animal Land
We spent a great few hours at Adirondack Animal Land out near Broadalbin this afternoon. Charlotte loved all the animals. Please enjoy the slideshow below of our fun day out!
Great Escape at Six Flags: The Great Escape
On Thursday - Toby's 35th Birthday - we went to Six Flags: The Great Escape in Lake George, NY. This was a "Great Escape" Day Out with Starlight Children's Foundation.
We had a great time, and Gramma Darlene and Grampa Ron came too. We went on the Giant Wheel, went to Wiggles World and drove the Big Red Car. We saw the Pirate Diving Show, and we rode the Storytown Train.
Charlotte had a complete blast! She was on the go all day, until we left at around 6:00PM.
See all our photos from the day at Google Picasaweb.
