Upstate New York - August/September, 2007
In Orley
and Mary's little apartment

Looking at photos
The merry-go-round at Highland Park
Dad poses on a swing in Highland Park
Walking around the lake
Lavender lady
Ella appropriates the new sandbox
Moving sand to the sandbox!
At least Marianne is paying attention to the camera. The rest of the crew seems distracted.
Ella is long!
Wrong way, Ella.
Lara shares her grapes ... almost
Minx
Ella highly approves of the sandbox
She patiently shows Granpa how to do it
Crowding around the table on the inside porch
The artist at work
Purposeful contemplation
Laughing Lara
Ella is serious
Lara by the lake
In the wind
I forget why we were pouring water. There was a vitally important reason at the time.
Into the lake!
Walking up the ramp
Ella is generally busy.
Climbing pink mountains
Lifting large yellow logs
One has to keep eating to keep up one's strength
Concentration
Mermaid
Tossing rocks into the lake
When you're good, you're good
The living swing!
Lara looks older than 3 1/2 ...
Granpa, don't hog all the salad
Ella is extremely self-satisfied now that she has captured her ice cream cone
Pretty good progress.
Mere et fils
Echo Lake Tanning Salon
Walking on the big stones -- the better to reach in and grab the small stones again
Hiding in plain sight
Pretty new dress
Flower child with a twinkle in her eye
On the go
The rides at the Labor Day fair in Greene were a bit lame, but Lara liked (some of) them!
Lara checks to see if Mom is still there
You'd think it was the Indy 500!
Inside the big bouncy box
Leap!
Ella finds the nearest tree and sits next to it. Ella is a tree person.
With something to say!
Lara is an adept and independent swimmer
Mom and Dad enter the picture
Dad and the roaring fire
Two for the swing of one
