i declared october 14th to be "ava day" and invited ava's aunties out for brunch and an expedition in the park. several theories were put forth as to a) why we were celebrating and b) what the significance of october 14th was. one slightly confused partygoer assumed it was ava's birthday. another suggested it was a thinly veiled celebration of my own birthday. it was actually john who hit the nail on the head though, when he said "this is just an excuse to get ava all dressed up, isn't it?". yup, pretty much. unfortunately, i forgot to take a good picture of her amazing outfit.
after brunch we rented row boats and toured stowe lake. gavin, aaron and john (brown) did all the hard work, and the rest of us lounged and shouted orders. ava spent the entire time licking her life jacket. by the end of it all she was so tuckered out she passed out in her stroller.
more pics of ava day.
