Trip to Delaware

On July 11th, Matthew, Tony and I flew to Delaware to attend my Aunt El and Uncle Bob's 50th wedding anniversary party. Matthew's grandma and grandpa flew up with us also. Matthew handled the flight very well. He sat on my lap or Tony's lap most of the way without incident. When we got to Wilmington, we saw several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Some relatives Matthew has met and some he met for the first time. He had a great time being greeted by so many friendly family members at the anniversary party and the next day at our cousin Stephen's restaurant by the golf course (see Matthew in the golf cart).


He also had fun playing at this piano in the hotel ballroom. He had never seen a piano before and he was fascinated. Good news for the piano (and the spectators): Matthew played the notes very gently. He didn't bang or pound. Of course he didn't play a melody but for a first time he did very well. Some spectators even asked if he had a tip jar.
