Here are pictures of a recent trip to a local (small) antique car show and Noah playing on a water slide.

A visit to Nana’s and Papa’s:

Eating s’mores:

Picking strawberries at a nearby farm:

Smelling the carton of strawberries:

Getting the canoe paddles:

The canoe ride with Daddy (it was not as dark as it looks in the photograph):

We took a hiking trip a few weeks ago to Bradbury Mountain State Park. Noah had fun and even had the energy to visit the playground on the way out.

I think this was the end of a gleeful expression caused by finding an insect:

At the top of the (relatively small) mountain:

Having a snack:

At the playground before we left:

Here are some more pictures from the trip to Boston:

At the Children’s Museum:

Back at the hotel:

Here are some more pictures from this weekend. Noah took the tricycle outside a couple times today and did a good job riding it. Inclines are a problem, but he can get up using his feet instead of pedaling. He is very good rolling backwards.

Another picture of using the tire pump:

Getting ready for the pirate invasion:

Pre-invasion bubble blowing:

Getting a pirate tattoo:

A doubloon for the pirate games:

Setting down his sword for a moment to have a corn dog:

Even during a nap, ready with his sword:

Trying a hula hoop at the Old Port Festival:

Watching The Backyardigans, I think:

Here is a picture of Noah in Boston and pictures from this weekend.

Waiting for the shuttle to go to the pirate invasion in Damariscotta (Talia is also wearing a pirate-themed shirt; Noah’s costume and Talia’s shirt were made by Aunt Sahrye):

Some pirates like gelato:

Getting ready to try the assembled tricycle:

Softa visited this weekend so Noah was very busy. Here are some pictures from the weekend including the duck pond, the boardwalk, and two beaches.

Daddy pulling the wagon with the bread to feed the ducks:

At the beach on Sunday evening:

And on the rides:

At a different beach on Monday:

Flying a kite with Mommy:

At a restaurant, on what appears to be a shoe-shine chair in the back:

Here are some pictures from our visit to the museum last weekend.

You can assume a “shhhhhhh” sound accompanied this:

Taking the groceries for a ride on the tractor:

Here are some recent pictures.

I think there was a surprise turtle inside the container:

Outside Fenway Park:

Wearing Mommy’s boots:

Going through Daddy’s change:

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks: Noah skipping stones, playing hockey, and making Jell-O.
