Summer photos

I have finally caught up with all our summer photos!  Here they are.  Click on the links for the albums from each event!

Photos from a pool party we hosted at the Newtown Swim Club for Henry's class as an end of year party.  The kids had a great time splashing around in the pool after a fun year together!

Next are our photos from Fathers Day.  Raphael was in Luxembourg, but we celebrated with Grandpa Mike.

The following weekend we went to the Jersey Shore to visit our friends Bronnie, Kevin and Sara at their lovely home for a day at the beach and evening of barbeque.

For July 4th, we went up to Rhinebeck and visited with Grannie, Papy and Francine, who was visiting from Paris.  Our trip to the museum of fire fighting was a highlight!

The following weekend we visited a Lavender farm with friends from Henry's class.  It was beautiful! also that night we had the DeAngelo's over for dinner.  You'll see Henry and friend, Gianna, snuggling on the couch. (henry once smooched her on the lips, so they have a special relationship).

Clementine and her friend were visiting from Paris.  Raphael took the day from work and spent it with them at Seaside Heights, NJ!  In their defense, they were supposed to go to the beach, but the weather was so bad they decided to hit the boardwalk instead.  Raph swears he saw Deena from the MTV show.

Look! There's Snooki!
The next weekend, we left for Cadaques (see post below)

When we were back from vacation, we visited Michelle, Alex & Madeline in NY.  The kids enjoyed riding the carousel in central park. (there is a video of the carousel ride)

Here are some videos from the summer, including henry playing, and a bath with his cousins in rhinebeck!

And finally, last but not least, here are my photos from the beautiful wedding of Francesca and Jason, held at the amazing Inn at Palmetto Bluff, in South Carolina.
Beautiful wedding, beautiful couple!
So that's it!  Summer 2011 is officially over, and here is how we spent it, in pictures.
