Michigan time with my grandparents

I spent some quality time hanging with

Grandma Tiny and Grampa Jim in Michigan.

Grampa Jim taught me how to turn on the boat.

We went to the Binder Park Zoo together.

Grampa Jim and I investigated the zebras.

Of course, I had to feed the giraffes.

Awesome!

And we did our usual tour of the Michigan State dairy

farm and bird sanctuary. Mom has been visiting the cows 

and the ducks her entire life!

See you next year, swan family!

What a difference...

...a year makes!

Me and Liv last summer

and this summer

Visiting my cousins in Michigan

Yes! Michigan!

Mom and I took a quick trip to Little Long Lake to

visit my family.  I love Michigan, and I love seeing my cousins!

The water was nice and cool.

Livie and Penny came in too.

We took lots of boat rides.

I even got to drive the boat...

and go swimming in the middle of the lake!

Brrrr!

Baby Graham!

Let's race!

I loved playing cars with Robert in the sandbox.

This was the best shot of all three of us Mom could snap.

We don't sit still very well.

Olivia and I played doctor for awhile.

My "O'Libya"

Montgomery County Fair

Mom and Dad took me to the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair.

I saw animals, went on rides, and even won a prize!

The last day

Some final images from our last days in Roma.

Ciao Roma!

Tuscany (part III - the beach)

The Mediterranean is beautiful!

We spent two lovely days at the beach.

Look, Mom!  It's Arianna!

Mom's friend, Arianna, met us at the beach with her family.

Arianna was Mom's exchange student when they were in high school,

and they had not seen each other in 16 years!!

We got to meet her husband Massimo and daughter Ada too!

It was a fantastic visit.

I loved playing in the waves with Dad.

Digging in the sand.

Ahh, beach life!
