Park City

This year Marlowe celebrated his half-birthday (the 4th of July) in Park City, UT.

Readying for the 4th of July parade.

Half-birthday cake.

and a local Great Dane.

Playing croquet at the St.Regis (he chose the green mallet and ball, of course).

FIshing at the Grist Mill

Today Marlowe went fishing with dad, Gee Gee, Aunt Liz, Teddy, and Grandma Koshgerian.

Though both were wary, Marlowe attempted to provide comfort for Cousin Teddy at the outset.

Initial efforts yielded much excitement, but no results.

But then, with a little help, Marlowe caught his first fish.

Examining.

Further examining.

Even further examining.

All told, it was a great day, and a good time was had by all.

Andover Reunions 2011

Rain meant there were few good photo opportunities, but Marlowe had a great time at Andover Reunions last weekend (it was dad's 15th high school reunion). Here are two photos of him in front of Samuel Phillips Hall, one of Andover's oldest and most distinguished buildings.

Princeton Reunions 2011

Marlowe returned to Princeton Reunions this year. Though somewhat testy at first, he perked up once Cousin Teddy arrived. Here the two of them are: resting up in advance of a big day;

sharing a stroller on the way to the P-Rade;

and splashing in the Woodrow Wilson School fountain.

After leaving Teddy, prior to returning home, Marlowe stopped by Halo Pub for cup of vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles.

Kansas City

On our way to Kansas City to visit Marlowe's great grandmother.

Bret and I ate the best barbeque while in Kansas City but Marlowe stuck to the french fries.

Marlowe visited his first presidential library, the Truman Library.

Royals vs Cardinals baseball game. Bret and Marlowe pose outside the stadium.

We also visited New Market, Marlowe's grandfather's hometown.

Utah

Marlowe and Teddy were so excited to see snow in May!

Marlowe and Teddy had a great time playing cowboy together.

Marlowe loved his new red cowboy hat.

All tuckered out after partying at Porter's Barmitzah.
