Wylie's Summer Weekend

Wylie and I had a great weekend full of adventure and events. On Saturday we attended the Old Chatham Hunt Club Mix and Match horse event. It was a beautiful day and wonderful to spend with friends and loved ones. That is Liam on Ferdinand.
Sunday Wylie helped with the new puppies at the kennels and on Monday we all went to Six Flags!
I have to say Wylie was very adventurous from the Comet Roller Coaster you see here to the water park. Click the link above to read about this famous roller coaster survivor. It was the 1st real ride of the day for Wylie!
We were all exhausted by the day's end. Wylie and his good friend Colin Anderson never stopped talking and never stopped smiling except when they were passed out from exhaustion. Cody and I had a great time too.

West Side Wylie

Wylie and I went to the west side yesterday afternoon to the new Chelsea Piers Skate Park. It is an amazing place and very well done. Wylie did a bit of ramp to ramp training working on his transfers with me as the rest of the skaters did their best not to run into one another. Not entirely successful however as we witnessed. But all in all a great time and an excellent venue. Wylie then took me on a walk on the High Line which I had not been on yet. A very cool spot literally with the river breeze passing through. It is amazing and we will be back. We finally ended up at Tortilla Flats for a snack and as you can see I captured Wylie in mid sentence about the skate park. He had a great time.

July 4th

Here is Wylie at the July 4th Parade in Old Chatham NY. He and his friends had a great time parading the hunt club beagles down into town. We had a very large turn out with people from all over the county and beyond. The weather was perfect and the dogs were well attended too by all involved.

Happy Birthday Wylie!!

Wylie is 10 today and we are off to Coney Island!

Wylie Plays Dribble from Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing

Wylie had his play this morning at PS3 which was a great success. Wylie played Dribble the main character's pet turtle in an adaptation from Judy Blume's book Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. Unfortunately Dribble gets eventually eaten by Peter's new baby brother Fudge. Its a good story and a great play and the kids did a phenomenal job.
Here is a link to Judy Blume and her idea for the story.

Olana

Early last Saturday as Wylie was sleeping due to his cold I went for a morning ride to Olana, Frederic Church's Estate. The famed Hudson River painter renowned the world over for his inspiring landscape paintings lived here from 1826 t0 1900. Its an amazing local park now and when I can I like to get a quiet morning in there. The gardens which I did not capture on the camera are great and the Persian Villa speaks for itself. Here is the website.

Street Performer Wylie

Wylie as usual was called up to the stage to do a bit of performing last week. The ring trick was good but the sword trick was even better. That image unfortunately did not come out. Either way Wylie proved once again that he is a natural showman.

Wylie Goes To The Track

With book in hand Wylie and I went to the race track Saturday evening. The weather was beautiful but the crowd not so much. think we both agreed that we like the dragstrip better then the dirt track! We made the best of it and know better for next time. Too much local color even for me but an adventure none the less and the cars were very cool.

I have been there twice and it is pure vintage moto heaven. It is the real deal.

Zander and Wylie at the Dog Show

Wylie did a great job at this year's dog show in Old Chatham. With little prep time Wylie and his six month old pup Zander made a fine showing. The rain was unrelenting before the show but right at the proper time the sky's cleared. All were impressed with the kids efforts in handling the club beagles. Wylie is a natural. Congratulations to all.
