Pirates and Snakes, but no Turtles.

We were very excited to have the industrious and brave Katie and Jessie (my cousin) (and Reggie the Wonder Dog) of www.katieandjessieonaboat.com stay at our house Friday night. A big ThankS to Joe and Karen and Jenna Sallin of Oneida Lake for letting Louise (the sailboat) hang out in front of their dock for the evening while we took the girls out for some dinner and brought them back to the house. The first Ernst family member to have been here! Yay! And our putz of a dog was NOT A PUTZ! So then, Saturday I took the girls to Wegman's and then brought them back to their sailboat. Wyatt tried to escape with them, but he eventually jumped overboard and pulled himself back to shore, realizing he would of course miss his Mommy. :) Oh the we went to Mike and Carol's for a BBQ, where Elena was the center of attention and Wyatt posed himself for the best photo yet. Sunday, we went up to Mark and Meredith's to check out their camp and stumbled upon a fat black snake, but couldn't find any turtles. And I just realized I haven't downloaded those photos yet...

Happy 4th!

Elena's first trip to the cabin outside the womb....
