Weekend Getaway

Last weekend, we traveled to Schenectady, NY to visit our friends Susan, Keith and Ava (a.k.a. the Muses), see Heather, Frankie and Jaimie (a.k.a. the Candullos), and go to Cooper's 1st birthday party (a.k.a. that little boy who keeps showing up on this blog).

On Saturday morning, Morgan and Ava (2.5 yrs. old) had a good time playing with all of Ava's "big girl toys". Morgan really enjoyed the ball pit.



Morgan also got a chance to show off her pretend culinary skills in Ava's cool kitchen.



Most of the time we were visiting, at least one of the little girls was napping. But finally, Morgan got her chance to meet little Jaimie (5 months old). They hit it off pretty quick.



Saturday afternoon, it was off to celebrate Cooper's big day.



With a little help from Mom and Dad, Cooper blew his candle right off the cake. Nicely done.



Morgan was fascinated with Cooper's big sister, Xena. (And when I say "big" sister, I mean "BIG".) Thankfully, Xena is a very mellow dog. In fact, I'm not even sure Xena is awake in this photo.



Morgan followed Xena all around the house, and would have followed her outside if the door wasn't shut. Below, the two pals decided it would be funny to block her from coming in from the cold.

"Hey Morgan, ya know what'd be really fun? Let's tick off my 110-pound watchdog!"



Morgan can't remember if Cooper got a football for his birthday, but he's obviously been working on his "Heisman" move.



After a busy Saturday, Morgan got a few more good times in with Ava on Sunday morning before we hopped in the car for the long drive home.
