We made our second trip up to Ithaca, NY July 4th weekend to visit my mom and attend my15 year high school reunion. The visit itself was good and the reunion was not as torturous as I’d anticipated, in fact parts of it were actually fun. The drive was longer than we’d expected (why is there ALWAYS construction near Scranton, PA? Ive been doing that drive for 15 years and there is always some roadwork going on there that screws up traffic) and so it was kind of an exhausting weekend, but definitely worth it.

Nathan loved exploring my mom’s house and playing with all her cool musical instruments. I think his favorite past time was probably chasing her poor cat around.

She had a little yellow plastic chair that he’d push up and down her hallway.

And we had fun bouncing with him on her trampoline.

Is this house just a big playground for kids, or what?
