April 27 - A quick visit to the playground at Kings Bend Park, Pittsford, followed by a long walk around the trails of Tinker Nature Park in Henrietta. Anne pointed out various unusual plants. We had a picnic lunch in our driveway while William slept in the car.

Some kind of flower - Anne would know what this is.

April 26 - Visited the zoo, then lakeside dining at Crescent Beach Restaurant. It started out sunny, but then a huge thunderstorm rolled in with drenching rain. It warmed back up to about 85F, followed by a melodramatic hailstorm with more thunder.

April 20 - Walked around the trails of the Waterman Conservation Education Center in Apalachin.

Apalachin, NY.

March 23 - Traded IOP for Owego, NY. It's 30F colder than South Carolina. William had a great time with his cousins.

March 21 - Headed south for a (planned) long weekend vacation. Spent the afternoon at a beach on the Isle of Palms, SC.

March 10 - After watching a "Big Bird in China" DVD several times, William decides he wants to visit China. After some discussion, he settled for eating a variety of Chinese cookies. His favorite was "Koala's March" (actually a Japanese brand).

March 8 - A lot of snow and ice this weekend. William was fascinated by a partially dismantled singing Elmo at the science museum.

March 2 - Saw the sealions being fed at the zoo. William became cold as we passed the zoo gift shop, so we had to go in to buy a toy car. Later, we set up an internet phone connection (Skype), and transmitted video coverage of William sitting on the couch to Long Eaton.

Feb 24 - A train-themed afternoon at the Medina Railroad Museum.

Medina, NY.

We spent the morning at the zoo. There's a new sealion that likes to play with the visitors.
