Every July in recent memory and for the foreseeable future, we head up to Maine for at least the day to see a big portion of Daddy's extended family. What passes for a beach up there is not what one (or at least I) would really consider a beach, so Kaylee is on the 'watch only' list for now. But it was still nice to sit on the rocks by the ocean and watch the boats and some of the older cousins swimming.
This is cousin Lauren's cat: Emma. I am not usually all that into cats, I mean its not that I dislike them, its just that I like them as
other people's pets...but Emma was gorgeous.
And I usually don't toot my own horn about photography...but I think this is a fabulous picture. It probably helped that Emma was a photogenic cat.
Kaylee loved both Emma and Gary (here) and if her attention is any indication I fear I may one day have to count myself in the cat owner column.
Although I am still holding out hope that she prefers dogs but since she has two of those the novelty of cats is much bigger. That does not change how much Kaylee was following poor Gary and Emma around though.
While Kaylee chased the cats inside...Rowan and Daddy got some hammock time outside.
Rowan really liked it.
Rowan got some good bonding time in with
Bampa too.
And got to show off her mad 'almost walking' skills.
Eventually it all just got to be too much and she took a little snooze in the stroller...at least this proves she can do it which bodes well for our Disney trip in 6 weeks!

They did a lot of dancing to the music in their heads.
Kaylee and cousin Graham got to toss around the old pigskin.
And then they enjoyed some tickle-time with cousin Hans
in the hammock.
Here's Kaylee
jammin' to cousin Josh's sweet tunes.
He even let her try to strum a few notes.
An impromptu campfire sing-a-long.
The theme of this year's reunion was Christmas in July, complete with handmade gifts for a silly Yankee Swap.
Rowan and Daddy watched
as
Bampa and Kaylee picked out their gift.
And this has nothing to do with Maine...but I thought it was cute, and yet not deserving of its own post.
Rowan is crawling now by the way...but she doesn't like it...she much prefers walking which she just can't quite do by herself yet.
And that, as they say, is that.

Aside from the punnyness of the title, I gotta say that those are some migh-ty fine shots!
Glad you got some good weather for your family reunion-y thing...
