Last Day in NY

On what we though was our last day in NY, we packed our stuff and drove back to Syracuse. We went to Dinosaur Barbecue for lunch and stopped to visit the Smiths. We headed to the airport and found out our flight was delayed, so we wouldn't be able to make our connecting flight. We had to stay in NY for one more night!

A Little More Camp

The morning after the wedding we drove back to camp and we all took naps. Then we headed to Alexandria Bay to walk around and window shop. Then it was into Clayton to stop at River Rat Cheese Company (Grandma's favorite). We had dinner at Clipper Inn. Then is was off to the Alex Bay 500 for some go-karting and arcade games. In the arcade we won Piper a pink raft for Grandma and Grandpa Smith's pool. Then it was back to camp again for some card games and sleep.

The Wedding

It was such a beautiful ceremony!

Getting Ready for the Wedding!

First stop: hair salon. Then off the KDS to do makeup, get dressed and go!

Rehearsal

Friday Great Aunt Pam, Great Uncle Marty, Nona and Great Grandpa Guarino came up to camp. Uncle Marty practiced for his future Grandson by giving Piper her bottle. That evening was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at the Cactus Grill.

More Fun!

Thursday we spent the day lounging around camp. We went for a walk and visited some neighbors. And that night was Jen's bachelorette party. Piper wouldn't let go of Mommy's hair... she did not want Mommy to go!

Off to Camp!

On Wednesday we stopped over to visit Aunt Diane and Katie. Then it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Smith's camp for the rest of the trip!

Aunt Erica

On Monday we went over to Erica and Amanda's apartment. Piper was so excited to meet her Aunt Erica. And then on Tuesday we went out to dinner with Erica and her boyfriend, Brent. It was so great to finally meet him.

Happy Father's Day!

We got to spend the day with lots of Daddy's. The morning and early afternoon was spent with the Guarinos. The Williams and Lorences came over too. Then we had a cookout at the Smith's, where Piper got to meet Aunt Rocky, Holly and Amanda. Then it was off to visit with Rusty! Piper got Daddy a framed picture of her eating his nose for Father's Day. Daddy's Little Monkey!

Off to New York

Piper's first plane ride! She was great, no fussing at all. When we got to Syracuse we visited with the Smiths and the Guarinos. Everyone was so excited to meet Piper... and Ryan too!

Date Night

Last night Ryan and I decided we would have a date. We went to Downtown Disney and had dinner at Wolfgang Express. It's the "fastfood" version of the Wolfgang Puck Cafe that's attached. It was the first time I'd eaten there, it was pretty good, and I'd like to try the cafe someday. After that we went to see The DaVinci Code. Ryan had won 2 free movie tickets from a Cinco de Mayo party they had at work. As always, the book was better, but the movie was definately very good. It would be awesome if they turned Angels & Demons into a movie (Dan Brown's other popular book). I thought that was even better than The DaVinci Code. Anyways, Grandma and Grandpa babysat while we were out. Here's a picture Grandma took during the evening.

Tummy Time!

Piper is starting to like tummy time. She used to cry anytime we'd put her on her stomach unless she was laying on someone's chest. Yesterday she rolled from her tummy to her back all by herself. She's been using her green pillow to help her with tummy time. It makes it more comfortable and easier for her. She (as well as Ryan and I) are getting so excited for our trip to NY. I am excited to see everyone. And Ryan and Piper can't wait to meet everyone! Only 1 week!
