We headed out to Syracuse to meet the new addition to the Salomon Family: Talia!

Noah and Gabe scoped her out.

Although she is a beautiful baby, Gabe was quickly distracted with hiding in the curtains!

We all decided it would be fun to go outside to play.

The water table was a blast.

Walter seemed to prefer to stick with his bone though.

Then all five boys splashed around on the splash mat. What fun!

Gabe says he could use one of these in HIS backyard!

Abe wasn’t sure if he should tell Noah that it isn’t cool to drink the table water.

Walter did end up doing a little splashing around.

Noah blows bubbles with his mom.

While Gabe took time out from the fun for a snack.

20080715IMGP2934.jpg

He thought he’d whip something up in Abe’s kitchen only to find
all of the food in there was in sticker form!

After the splash mat, Hannah made an awesome waterslide and named it, “Water Safari.”

Gabe just couldn’t get enough of that!

20080715IMGP2945.jpg

Abe and Josh were big fans too!

Gabe tries on Abe’s designer giraffe sunglasses =)

20080715IMGP2948.jpg

He tried showing his appreciation by mowing around the back yard a bit.

We ended the lovely day with a pzza dinnerĀ  Everyone gathered around the table.

We were not far down the road before we had a sleepy car full of boys!

Sleep tight boys! It’s back to Albany we go!

THANKS SALOMONS!!!
