New York--Cutest Grandpa EVER! Part 2

We went to MANY diners with grandpa while we were in New York. Boy, does he love that diner food!


These little chicks hang out at grandpa's house. He feeds them bread.
This cat, Muffy, is my grandpa's LIFE. One day he got out and tried to eat the chicks.
Grandpa tried really hard to give us just about every can of food in the cellar. We took some, but tried our hardest not to let him give us all the old canned corn, peas, and pinto beans that he had!

New York--Cutest Grandpa EVER!

On the third day we were in New York, we went to church with the family then had grandpa, Bobby, Sue and Sue's mom over for hot dogs and a walk to the lake. Grandpa was exceptionally cute in his little yellow outfit.






New York--Jewelery time!

My Aunt Linda, Uncle David, cousin Brian, mom, and I had a good time looking through all of grandma's old jewelery. . .



New York--Even more of the kids AGAIN (I forgot some!)

Lilian was cuddled up in bed. . .

but the first night, this is the bed she preferred (on the ground)

New York--The Aunts

By far, our favorite meal of the trip was when we went to my great Aunt Fannie's house for dinner. She makes the BEST food, and most of it is fresh from her garden. The meal was topped off by fresh, hot strawberry rhubarb pie made with strawberries from her garden. . . yum! A few of the other Aunts joined us, and we had a great time catching up.

New York--The Lake

Our camp was just a short walk to the great Sacandaga Lake. Unfortunately, we were so busy for our 9 days that we were in New York, we only had time to go swim in the lake once! But we enjoyed it.










New York--Even More of the Kids!


This is where Lilian fell asleep most nights.

Poor Draven dropped all his chocolate chip pancakes on the ground! He wasn't quite sure what to do about it.
