End of trip...
Our visit back east went by fast. We were accompanied to the airport for our return flight by Grandma R, Grandpa R, Aunt Diane, and Uncle Andy. While we were at the Syracuse Airport, Sammy decided to take everyone for a flight...

The Birthday Girl...
One reason for the timing of our trip back east was to celebrate Sammy's Grandma R's birthday. Michele took some artistic portrait photos of the birthday girl.

Dinner at Eddie's
While visiting back east, a group of family (including Grandma R, Grandpa R, Aunt Diane, Uncle Andie, Uncle Paulie) went to dinner at Eddie's Restaurant in Sylvan Beach, NY. Eddie's Restaurant is a local favorite and has been for 75 years.

Aunt Diane took a gamble and told the waitress to "surprise her"...

Eddie's usually has a long line...

Back in April we went back home to visit Michele's family. While we were there, Sammy's Grandpa R (Poppa) took Sammy on his first fishing expedition. Along with Paul, they went to the Lake Moraine. It was a beautiful day.
Sammy was surprised to find out that New York State has "...plentiful water in 70,000 miles of rivers and streams, some 4,000 lakes and ponds, 2.4 million acres of wetlands, and over 210 billion gallons of groundwater used annually..."
We thought Sammy would last about 20 minutes, but he sat focused on fishing for over an hour and a half with his Poppa. Sammy can't wait to fish with his grandfather again. He didn't catch any fish, but he caught a whale of a good time.
