Another Weekend, Another Family Party

This week we had another weekend party up at the beach house in Canada.  We started a tradition last year of getting together with the Italian/Canadians near the end of the summer, and hope to continue it next year too.  Once again Regan was not fond of the crowds but she did a little better this time.  We even got her in the water for the first time, and she really enjoyed it.  We even got to see Jochen Hecht from the Sabres, vacationing at the Canoe Club next door.

Here is Regan hanging out with Grandma at the beach

On Sunday we took a drive down to Ellicottville to do some research for the family genealogy project I have tasked myself with.  We went and took pictures of the headstones of some of my relatives in the Holy Cross Cemetery.  My Great-Great-Great-Great Grandparents are buried their along with the triple, double and single greats.  After that we walked around the town, and had dinner at the Ellicottville Brew Pub...yum.

Today we went to Grandma and Grandpa Kerls house for the day.

We took a nap with Grandpa

AND we went next door to visit the baby Donkey, "Pedro"

Pedro was so excited to see Regan that he dipped under the fence and came out of his pasture to say "hi".  We fed Fig Newton's to him and his mom and dad.  It was a very exciting day.

Here are some more pictures from this week:

Peas for the first time!
