Geno's Summer 2009

Some of the many things that Geno likes to do all involve being near his sister Cari, or more formerly known, as Coretta, his big sister. Wherever she is, whatever she is doing, he wants to be involved in some way.

He loves to go to the beach as well and will wake up many mornings with the phrase "Tomorrow Beach," with a huge smile on his face. My son completely lives in the future and not the present. The things he most likes to do is pick up leaves and watch them float down the current. He enjoys putting rubber duckies and boats into the water as well to watch them float down the man-made river. To him, this is fascinating and a remarkable achievement that never seems to get old no matter how many times he does it. The other highlight is when he is able to get chicken nuggets and fries at the beach and sit with his Mommy and sister watching birds that land on the table hoping for a nibble of your food with their open little beaks. He enjoys swimming in the pool and lake as long as Mommy and Cari are right there to play, or as he would say it, race with him.

He also enjoyed camping along the Gunflint, throwing rocks into the water, and going on his first canoe ride. What summer would be complete without some of that smooth, creamy, cold stuff? Ice cream, or what Geno calls Ah-Bee Cones!!

Summer fun from a toddler's point of view, which also involves learning to ride his trike and spying on little girls as they play in the sand through the slits of the stairs to the slide. Not obvious at all Geno.
