Have Pool - Will Travel

Once again the Nicastros have been traveling and seemingly very busy.  With Daddy off for the summer we took advantage and hit the road.  First we traveled to upstate New York.  Frankfort to be exact, the best "little Italy" you can find, filled with family and great memories.
 

Ysabella got a lesson in makeup, while Aunt Kelley "put on her eyes".


And Great Grandpa provided Anthony with tips on proper cane handling.

  

Lindsay showed us, first hand, her skills with cupcakes.
"Yummy in my Tummy"


 And certainly, we brought the pool.

The cousins got to know each other a little better.

And Aunt Dominique held an impromptu story time.


 
Next we traveled to South Carolina to see Ryan and Whitney Passante.  They recently bought a  house and were nice enough to let us fill the rooms with noise and mischief for a few days.


In both places we visited playgrounds which reminded us of home.



And in the end, we had a great time and we loved seeing new places and faces,...


... but we sure did need a nap!

Fatherly Love

Daddy is off for the summer which means he is home all day, every day. This summer break is a little bit different than recent years but who can complain when there is so much love being spread around.
