more vacation fun!

A few more pics from Brooks' summer travels...he has really been busy!
Visiting with friends Heather & Henry and their daughter, Karla, in Toronto. Brooks made quite an entrance - this picture was taken just seconds before a terrible blow-out and a very public diaper change in the Maag's living room! Nice job Brooks - way to make a good first impression!

Karla has been working on her knitting skills and made this cute hat for Brooks. we had a few good laughs at the shape, but it's still adorable!

Then on to Breckenridge with the Fuquays for a week! Richard celebrated his first father's day with his dad too.
I just love this one of Brooks with his new monkey as his cheeks look like the monkey! this is a new favorite toy at the moment - just his size!
Brooks on his first hike with the whole fam - he slept through most of it in the snuggli.
chillin' with daddy in the mountains - this is the life!

Water Baby

"Hello, i'm ready to go for my first swim. Check out my cute trunks!"


"And my awesome beach towel!"



Don't worry, the "hot tub" wasn't hot when we took Brooks for his first swim! Brooks loved being in the water and "jumping" off the side into the pool. I think we might have a little swimmer on our hands!

O Canada

Last week Brooks made his first trip to Canada to visit family and friends in the north country! He even used his passport and got his first stamp! He was a great traveler on the plane rides, but spent the first day in canada without any naps as he was "on vacation"!
Brooks visiting his Great Grandmother (great gram) in Toronto.
Great Gram just turned 95 in May, and although she doesn't say much these days, we could tell she really enjoyed meeting Brooks. It was so special to have 4 generations of the Doyle family together.
The next day, we drove to Gananoque, home of the Brooks family, and took a boat ride with Brooks' Great Grandpa Charles and Great Aunt Nancy. Brooks slept through most of the trip and the weather wasn't great, but we enjoyed spending the day with Grandpa Charles nonetheless.
On the boat, Brooks held his own bottle for the first time! What a big boy and a great traveler.

Back in Toronto, Brooks got to meet his Great Aunt Terena, "aunt" Johanna" and "uncle" Andrew. He was a bit hit with the Canada family.
