I love Great Grandma Conway





July brought us another visit with the Buffalo family. We were lucky enough to make it to Great Grandma Conway's last party and see her awake and talking. Joshua was even able to give her a hug and kiss. His presence in the apartment brought many people comfort. Grandpa even couldn't keep from smiling.



Joshua also met all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins. He had a lot of fun playing with Joey and the trains.






This was also the first time Joshua got to meet Uncle Mango in person. I'm not sure what he was more excited for, meeting his uncle or being allowed to play with Mango's new IPhone.





There were lots of first the rest of the week including the first time to a zoo. Joshua really enjoyed watching the elephants. It was a perfect day at the Buffalo Zoo, sunny but not too hot. The elephants were out walking around and tossing hey on their backs. He was so excited he would not stay in the stroller. He just started running around (sometimes in circles) screaching. He chose to wear camo that day so as to blend in and perhaps get a better look at the animals.









Both he and Papa enjoyed the children's area and going down the big slide.








Later that week I took Joshua to a place I used to hang out with the kids I babysat . . . Island Park. We spalshed in the wading pool, picniced under the gazebo, ran around the playground and was pushed on a swing.




















That wasn't enough for one day so we then walked over to Glen Park to see the falls, and of course get some Sweet Jenny's. Lucky for mommy he was more interested in walking around than the ice cream - oh the sacrifices we make as mothers.
We love you Great Grandma Conway!
