Another great time

Well, we have returned from Upstate New York, tired but happy and relaxed from our visit. I'm sorry to say that we don't have a ton of pictures because our small digital camera was acting up and, while we took some with that, we had to resort to (gasp) a disposable camera with (double gasp) film! Anyway, I am hoping others who took pictures will email them to us (hint hint) and I will download what we have later. Anyway, here is our top ten list from the impromptu Turick family reunion:

10. Escaping from 100 degree weather and experiencing fall in the middle of July. (This was the first time I wore a sweater on the Fourth of July!)
9. Seeing Christopher's face when he saw 9 dogs sitting in front of him.
8. Christopher's accordion lesson from Grandpa T.
7. Watching a full double rainbow appear over the valley view from Dad and Nancy's house.
6. Running after CJ as he zoomed around the house on two feet, opening every cabinet he could find and emptying their contents.
5. Having little man on my lap as we flew Southwest and watching how he charmed the flight attendants and then how he gazed out the window as we flew. (Do we have a future pilot on our hands?)
4. Seeing Chris try to throw the ball to Jackson (non-beagle, visiting dog) through the screen door.
3. Pushing and pushing and pushing Christopher on the swing we hung from a large tree branch.
2. Getting a full-night's sleep every night we were on vacation! (!!!)
1. Seeing our son (and us) spend quality time with the Turick side of the family.

It was so awesome to be able to spend so much time with Dad, Nancy, Aunt Judy, Uncle Jack, Nanny, Jack Michael and Denise, Mary Jane, Kathy, Becky and George (I hope I didn't leave anyone out!). We had a great time upstate and we are looking forward to a visit in the future.
