First gorgeous Saturday of the season

Up here in the left-hand corner of the map, we don't care if it's still 55 degrees, the sun's out! Let's lay around at the beach! From top:
*Waving at Canada
*On a mission (to eat seaweed)
*Changing out of wet, sea-soaked clothes in the parking lot. Classy.
*Funny bronze tortoise
*Train tables at our local bookstore. Who likes them more, big dude or little dude?

April visitor: rainforests and beaches with Grandma Kathy

Matt elected to serve as Obama delegate for Congressional District Convention in May, and will go on to the State Convention in June!

From top:
*Matt prepares to speak for the record breaking County Democratic Convention crowd of over 300 precinct delegates
*At the last minute, before Matt's speech, Gus wanted Daddy--so Gus caught a little limelight during Matt's speech to the floor
*Waiting for the results
*Democracy is exhausting
*The dudes made the paper (Gus' first time)! Matt was elected out of the huge pool to go on in May and June (we're hoping to go all the way to the National Convention in Denver), and his speech was one of a few featured in the newspaper. The caption reads "'I want the government that he deserves,' Matt Vadnais says on behalf of his baby son, Gus, during Saturday's Democratic Convention . . . [he] drew cheers in support of Sen. Barack Obama."

Birthday Morning

Mama woke up and made him a birthday breakfast of grapefruit, local bacon, and toast. While he was waiting Gus told Mama about the adventure he was going to have that day.
