Massena... part 1

On July 18th, we arrived in Massena for our first "big" camping trip. A whole week! It was unseasonably cool (which I'll actually take over brain-fryingly hot any day) most of the week. Lots of rain was forecast, and the ground was a little muddy... however much of the rain missed us, or kept itself a minimum. So we were grateful. It was great, as always, to see so many family members. Many of them had not seen Maia since she was 8/9 weeks old. Lots of changes! Maia plays with 2nd cousin Nick, just a few months older than she. Aunt Linda, Grandma and Aunt Tara made sure we were all well stocked with toys. Maia spent a fair amount of time getting filthy. Maia learned a few new words on this trip: pretty (dih-dee! and sometimes ooooo, pih-dee!) Birdy (dih-dee! and some times bih-dee!), doggie (duh-dee!) and she improved the use of up (Upupup!) and out (Aht?) Maia and Daddy take in a calm evening over the St. Lawrence. Who says a little rain has to dampen my spirits? You're going to let me walk around in the mud after this, right?
