Photos of the Week 2018-04-03

Another week, another late set of Photos of the Week. In this case, they’re delayed because last week was a big travel week– I put a bit more than 800 miles on my car, first driving to Maine to give a talk at Bates College:

and then back to Niskayuna to pick up Kate and the kids to drive to Scenic Whitney Point for Easter:

Easter means the start of spring, so the ice cream stand in Whitney Point was open. Admittedly, it was only 48F, so much of the country would’ve been all bundled up, but SteelyKid was all over outdoor ice cream:

SteelyKid was very pleased to eat her first ice cream cone of the season.

Spring also means snow melt, so the conditions were perfect for Pooh Sticks:

Charlie the pupper spent the weekend at the dog boarder wrestling with his canine friends, so he doesn’t make it into the Photos of the Week, but I did get a nice shot of my parents’ Labrador Retriever, Bodie:

The final photo for the week is an actual work of art, done by SteelyKid with her new Etch-a-Sketch:

SteelyKid’s pretty good at drawing with her Easter present.

That’s an Easter bunny holding a basket with a sign saying “Happy [Egg] Day,” and then the egg is labeled “Egg” because she wasn’t satisfied that it was clear.

And those are your photos of the week.
