Ethan's new fast shoes, thank you Aunt Katie.

He hugged and thanked 4 times over.

She also purchased him some new Iron Man 2 sandals.

When he tried them on: "Oh, now I can wear socks with these and I

won't scrape my toes. Aaaand, they light up, Katie!"

2010-08-02T13:58:00.002-05:00

This was a popular pose throughout most of

Ethan's vacation in Michigan.

Are you making him stand @ attention, Kevin?

Highly focused.

Aaaaaah, I'm losing my Iron Man grip!

Not a problem for the ultimately fit Grandma Aussie.

Grandpa is Haaaaaandsome.

Lori, you must really stop eating Ethan's food;

he eats sooooo fast because 'mommy will take it'.

He was practically inhaling the watermelon chunks.

Soooooooo delicious!

2010-08-02T13:13:00.002-05:00

Alex had fun throwing Grandpa Aussie's crocs in the pool

for Uncle John to retrieve.

After the fun was done (fun-done rhyme, Ethan), Alex

moved his chair next to Uncle John.

They engaged in some intellectual conversation about

the properties of water.
