Allegany Part 1-"Shiny"

Coming off a rather soggy weekend in Keuka Lake, I was more than a little dismayed to hear the weather forecast for our weekend at Allegany State Park. We'd all reserved cabins to celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday-whoopee! Since Friday was sunny, we raced to the beach as soon as we got there to enjoy a little summer before the monsoon arrived.


Here's Mom and Amelia hanging out at the water's edge. Notice goose poop dangerously close to Mia's left side...)


The forces aligned and Amelia was perfectly accessorized. Not only did Mom find a lime green barette on the floor in our car (that perfectly matched the trim on Moo's suit), but the bucket coordinates nicely as well. Where is Aunt Kat to appreciate such wardrobing?

A sandy beach (or box): Charlie's utopia



This shot reminds me of a line from one of Charlie's construction books, (read ad nauseum), "The loader is the building site workhorse..." Bob found this one online and it often travels with us.


Hmmm, perhaps all men seek solace in the sand. Notice, no kids anywhere and yet, Bob and Jon continue to perfect their estuary.




Uncle Jon-Jon gettin' down and dirty in the sand. He is so cute with the kiddos!

Fun times! Yep, you can always count on goose poop at Allegany. It is probably my favorite state park, though. So fun!!
