Buffalo pics

I added 3 posts today (and 2 last week), so keep scrolling down to see more pics from our BUF trip.

The first morning there- bonding (quietly) with Grandma while I took a shower. I wasn't so sure that would go well, but it did.

I think Kat took this pic with some help from Daddy at Tarun's house.

This was frantic baby stopped, briefly. It was very late and she was very tired, so like a shark, she had to keep moving.

Most of the Walker clan at Pizza Plant. I meant to get a pic of the whole family. As usual, I forgot and didn't get one, but I got 3/4 of them. And Kat gave them all numerous high fives and 'knucks'.

Dan meeting Juneau, Bruce & Corey's puppy. She still has about 20lbs to go.....

Corey, Kat, Jordan and Juneau, watching Ben play at the car track. I think the dog's collar might be reflective.

The Levine family, and Kat's back.

Jim entertaining Kat at Pearl Street Brewery.

John & Katie.

Chautauqua Lake- the Vikings

After the reunion. As part of the cleanup, Aunt Norma handed Kat the remains of the salt and vinegar chips. She carried them back over to the site and proceeded to practically lick the wrapper. Sitting across from Uncle John.

Getting sadder....

So sad.

Going down the slide, with Grace still at the top.

Heidi being sworn in as a Viking. That's my cousin Dave in the blue shirt (two past chiefs must perform the ceremony). Thanks Leslie for watching Kat and Aunt Norma for recording the secret ceremony. We didn't let them see the little brown girl (possibly NOT of nordic origins) till after the swearing in.

Kat, Grace and Charlotte at the top of the hill.

Mel, Greg, Mom, Dad, Kat and Leslie at Ashley & Lynn's graduation party.

Puddlejumping with Daddy.

Kat had so much fun playing with the big girls. Here I think they were burying the puppy?

Then the running began. I believe that Kat was usually 'it' but she didn't care. She just wanted to chase and be chased, rules of tag be damned.

I love this collision shot. She got up running and laughing.

Heading to the playground with Grandma & Grandpa.

Kat loved the golf cart ride. She really did. We got off the cart and she climbed back on. It was only once I stepped back to take the pic that she spazzed.

Rochester

There's no rule that says you can't climb on the kitchen table for a grape or two. Is there?

Though Kat's Rochester cousins are quite a bit older (as in, adults) they LOVED playing with her.

Here's Brian showing her how to fist bump her reflection.

Cheryl & Brian throwing her around in the door mat.

Kat not getting that it's now her turn to do the throwing.

Cheryl and Kat throwing kisses in the front yard.


Playing catch with Ryan

Playing with Uncle Tom on the floor

Watching baseball with Uncle Tom.

Enjoying her visit with Grandma & Grandpa.

Picnic in the Park

We had a picnic in the park on Sunday and had a great time. Nice weather, nice people, and lots of Sahlen's hot dogs!

Corey helping Kat with her very first juice box (bag?). Despite Corey's best efforts, she eventually squeezed (and then sat on) it, with sticky results.

Kat pushing Ria in Ria's stroller.

Jordan playing ball with Kat in her chair.

Mom, Jordan & Kat walking up the steps.

Four wheeling (pawing?) it.

The Yagielskis. It was good to meet the little ones.

The Parfuccis. Also good to meet the little one.

Kat, Jordan and Grace. Juice boxes and potato chips.

Grandma reading to Kat.

Max, Dave & Grisham.

Walking back from the playground with Larry, Amanda & Hannah.

Nilam, Ria & Kat.

Dave and the little girls.
