Day 2 began with a dubious start as Mia still complained of stomach aches and both Mark and I began to feel suspicious knots in our stomachs. After some pedialyte and a bit of toast, we ventured out. The fog eventually lifted and the sun burned rather hot. We were unprepared as we had no sunscreen on us – it was such a cloudy and wet June that we were rather unused to bringing sunscreen along. We did all get a bit red from too much sun, especially when we played a round of mini golf which left us with itchy skin, but I heard it was raining in Brooklyn again so we can’t complain. The day ended up being packed with activities: waterfall, lake, playground, antique shopping, mini golf, wineries…and finally a meal after avoiding food for much of the day.
The family is sleeping. So far so good on the stomach virus. I’m up late working as something just came in that needed my attention. Yup, business as usual.
Your kids are going to be fighting over the family albums when they grow up, your photos are so gorgeous and you manage to capture so much life in them!
Your girls are soooo beautiful! I’m glad Mia is feeling better.
You make Ithaca look European. It will give us a new perspective next time we go!
beautiful photographs jenna!
wow!! i cant say enough good things about your pictures. your girls are BEAUTIFUL. your photos are absolutely gorgeous. wow!!!
Mark looks so funny on that teeter totter. Like a big kid ^_^
I wholeheartedly agree with Becca, your sweet girls will most definitely fight over the family photo albums when they grow up. Truly amazing photography! You make me want to pick up my camera and spend the day shooting away!!
I hope everyone’s bellies are doing fine and you’re off enjoying another sunny day. The day you spoke of in this post sounded splendid and I’m so happy you’re having a wonderful vacation! You so deserve it!!!
I love the way you dress your girls!
I’m so glad you put so many pictures on here. Feels like I’m there! My favorite picture is the one of your feet and Mia’s….they’re exactly alike!
I love and love the waterfall shot- it almost look like they are in your backyard.. feels so ironically comfortable in front of a large waterfall. 🙂
Could your photos be more beautiful? Absolutely breathtaking. Sigh.
gorgeous pictures, as usual! thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous! I hope everyone stays healthy!
Christine, Ithaca is no Europe, by any stretch of the imagination. It’s summer and all the college kids are away, so it’s pretty sleepy right now. We mostly ventured out to the countryside during the day.
I´m not used to post comments, but it´s part of my Internet routine to get a look in your blog everyday. I´m from Brazil and always fascinated with your stories and images. Today I had a great surprise riding your post, when I saw the picture with your foot in a grey/silver slipper from Havaianas brand. It´s a Brazilian product that became a icon of the country in international markets. It´s very nice! Do your girls have Havaianas too? If not, let me know their numbers foot. It will be a pleasure to send you some Havaianas kids.
i love how your girls having matching haircuts! TOO cute.
Claudia, you are so sweet to offer. I am struck by your generosity!
You always take such beautiful photographs! The waterfall photo is amazing.
wow, these pictures truly capture childhood.
