July 2009- Random Photos

These are all some random pictures of the rest of July in Connecticut. The first picture is of Noah at the water park in West Hartford and the following three are at the Children's Museum in Middletown.

Introducing LT. Noah Kaper.

July 4, 2009

Everyone waiting for the fireworks to start. Seating was a little tight that year with the construction downtown but those Indians really know how to put on a show!

A rare picture of me and Noah.

Fireworks!!!! One of my all-time favorite things.

Harkness Park and Mohegan Sun

While my parents were in town we also took Noah to Harkness Park in New London. We didn't actually think he would get in but he all of a sudden decided that he liked the water.























How's this thing work??????








My parents also enjoy going to the casino. I don't blame them. Anyone who has been to Mohegan knows it is much more than just a place to gamble.




Noah was so excited to ride the tram from the parking lot to the casino.















Noah playing at the arcade.
















Ahhh yes, the buffet. Jess's favorite.

Mystic Aquarium & Hartford Train Show- July 2009

My family came up in July for one last visit to CT. When my dad is in town we have to go to the Mystic Aquarium and lucky for him this time there was also a train show for him to attend in Hartford.

Noah either confused or stunned by the beluga whales. He recovered nicely by wrestling some seals in the gift shop later on that day.





















Noah thought touching the crabs was cool at first but quickly changed his mind!

I gotta say all the Lego lands were impressive.














Noah and Justin in the Lego Village.

Goodbye's to the cold Northeast

The spring/summer of 2009 not only marked the time when we were to PCS but also for Jon and Megan to head down to FL and for Chris, Jess and Kensie to start their new chapter (outside the Navy) in Chicago. Here are some pictures of all of us at our house prior to everyone saying goodbye to New England.






Noah and the that tongue!!! He always has it sticking out.

Lovin' on Alyssa as usual.










I believe this was Kensie's first time in a tree swing. She loved it!

Spring in CT-2009

I recently discovered that our blog had not been updated for over a year. I have to admit I did not participate in the blogging previously but have decided to take a more hands on approach. So here I go!! The last you saw of us was in February 2009. The pictures above are from the house in CT in the spring of '09. It is hard to believe that a year ago from this week we closed on this house and were on our way south.



Having fun at the school playground down the street from the house...



As one of our last trips in CT we took Noah to the Bronx zoo. He had a great time and loved this tree slide. Noah and I got stuck in the slide. Apparently I am too big for the kiddy slide. Who would have thought!!
