Last weekend we took Anna up to see how she would like Yale. But, really we went to see the Lairs.
Here's Michael and Chris in front of the school of divinity.




And this is "Bett's House", or was. I didn't know Bett, but I bet she was rich. This is where the offices are where Michael will work.














In front of Yale's library.

A very creepy place where Skull and Bones meets- a secret society that powerful Yale folk are in. Apparently Bush and Kerry were in it. Anyhow, we dared the guys to go up and touch the door. They did...





So, we had to...

We were making fun of the big padlocks with their inscribed cross bones...


...when the alarm went off inside! I was expecting the gargyles to come alive and apprehend us, but they didn't so we escaped with our skulls and bones intact.



Here we are feeding geese. There were so many of them. Anna said "duck!" ninety-four times. We didn't have the heart to tell her these actually were geese.

I didn't want to be swarmed by the whole gaggle so I just took pictures and Teresa and Michael did the scary work.





Teresa fending off geese.


We gave Anna a piece of bread to throw but she ate it. Feed the birds, what do you get? Fat birds.


We had a great time. Anna's not convinced but is considering Yale.

We had to get a video of the dog sound- it was so cute. Sorry the video is sideways.

Two new animal sounds!- ask her what a kitty cat says- "Ee-ooww" and as of two minutes ago, ask her was a puppy dog says- "Oof"!

This past Friday was Hershey Park Day for Chris' company. Anna was so excited about the roller coaster rides.





Measuring Anna.





I guess no coasters for Hershey Minature me.



Hot baby ready to go in the world's largest water play structure.



No more waiting for Dad, get me in that water!


Yes, in the water.



Splashing.







Fountain.




Dried off and on the ferris wheel.




Getting tired.




Before heading home, we had to go through the Hershey Factory Tour. Love those singing cows. Anna slept through the whole thing, even the cows.

This past week was full of Grove City folk. One of Chris' friends from GC just returned from Turkey and met Anna for the first time.



Saturday night was a Grove City wedding. Anna had a great time with a butter packet, a water glass and lots of attention.






















More pictures in the pool. These pictures don't show it too well, but this was the day Anna got her first fat lip, complimentary from the dining room floor. =(

This video is a few weeks old, but here's Anna wantin' a revolution.

Well it has been busy...But here are pictures. Between the beach, bath and pool, Anna is having a pruney summer.
The highlight of this month- MAMA! She is saying it, finally! Also saying "Hi" and sometimes "hey!"
The other day, she was standing up in the pool and every time a car went by, she raised her arm straight up and hailed them, "hey!"















Reading about caterpillars and such...



A couple nights ago, Anna was quiet as a mouse. Chris found her in the kitchen:
