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.

Ice Fishing

Marlowe, Dad, Gee Gee, and Pop visited Uncle G in Minneapolis over the weekend. The central event was an ice fishing trip to Mille Lacs Lake. Though we didn't succeed in catching fish to the extent we would have liked, a fantastic time was had by all.

Though reluctant at first, Marlowe soon grew comfortable.

Here he peers down his fishing hole, replete with optimism.

When ordinary measures failed, Marlowe sought to attract fish to his hook by way of inquisition.

After we finished fishing, we made time for a little fun. Here Marlowe is frolicking on the ice, with Uncle G in pursuit.
