Thanks to everyone who donated for this great event! Aidan's Little Einsteins were able to raise $440 this year to support the cure for diabetes! The weather was beautiful and thousands of people showed up to show their support. Aidan had a great time running around and playing. Geoff Fox was there again representing channel 8 so check out the channel 8 news tonight for a possible news story on the walk. I took many pictures and even several movies so don't forget to check those out on the site.

Last Chance to donate to the diabetes walk

The walk is on Sunday September 30, 2007 so this is your last chance to sign up to walk or make a donation for the event. If you have already signed up you can meet Scott and Monica on the bottom floor of the parking garage at Anthem this sunday around 9pm. This is where all the team members of Aidan's Little Einsteins are meeting. If you'd like to make a last minute donation please click HERE. Hope to see everyone there!

Next stop...Burlington, VT

Keith Jacobs and Scott Cimini will embark on a 4 hour ride to Burlington Vermont to see the great band Ween. They are a talented group of musicians who have been together for over 20 years making amazing albums. Ween is playing at the Higher Ground on November 28, 2007 at 9:00 PM and will be the only band playing that night. No one shares the stage with Ween. Enough said there.
Magichat brewing company and Ben and Jerry’s Icecream both have their factories in Burlington so there will be plenty to do while we’re up there. I’ve done the tours of Magichat and Ben and Jerry’s and its awesome.
Scott is also trying to get tickets to the Penguins vs. Sabres outdoor hockey game on January 1st, 2008 in Buffalo NY where a record will be set for the largest crowd to ever see an outdoor hockey game. Still working on that though and need to make sure the funds are there to do that.

Cimini's Explore New Hampshire!

Monica, Scott, and Aidan spent the weekend in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It’s the final vacation planned for the summer of 2007. Woodwards was excellent as usual as Aidan LOVED feeding the ducks. I nice relaxing swim in the indoor pool was just what we needed to cool off after a lot of activity. We went to the Lost River Gorge in North Woodstock and took many scenic drives through the mountains. The trip concluded with a visit to Clark’s Trading Post. Clark’s featured a live bear show and several rides on an old “choo choo” train. Check out all the pictures I took there. I also have several movies for your enjoyment as well.

September 30, 2007 is this year’s Walk to Cure Diabetes at Anthem Blue Cross in North Haven, CT. Monica and I have made it our goal to do the walk for Juvenile Diabetes every year to show our support. This year we have a team called Aidan’s Little Einsteins which will be walking. Last year it rained so hopefully this year we’ll get some nicer weather. I’m looking for as many people to sign up and walk this year. We’re already half way to our goal in donations and we still have 3 weeks to go! If you’d like to make a donation you can do so here. After the walk I’ll announce on this website the total donations received and give special recognition to doners and walkers.

Trip to NH planned

Another New Hampshire trip is planned. We’ll be traveling to Mount Washington, Clark’s Trading Post, and Santa’s Village just to name a few of the destinations. Aidan will especially like Santa’s Village. You can expect us to take tons of pictures. If anyone has been to any of these places before, I’d like to know what your experiences were. Monica and I have planned out a weekend of fun activities. We’ll be staying at Woodward’s Resort in Lincoln, NH. Woodward’s offers many things including a duckpond where Aidan can feed the ducks!
Clark’s trading post will feature a trainride through the scenic mountains of New Hampshire and finishing with a bear show. They have a trained Black Bear who will perform stunts right in front of us!

Aidan enjoys trip to upstate NY!

On August 24-26, 2007, our journey took us to Upstate NY for the rest and relaxation. The weather was good through most of the weekend. It was hot on Saturday and very cool on Sunday. Saturday night we got to see a pretty amazing thunderstorm which ended up knocking out power in some areas (not ours). On Saturday we visited the Syracuse area and went to Chittenango Falls State Park. The park was beautiful and had a huge waterfall which Aidan was amazed by. We also met some locals and talked with them for a while. We loved hearing the stories they had to tell about the area. Then we made a drive to see if we could get a hotel near Lake Ontario for the night. Unfortunately, there weren’t any vacancies anywhere so we headed back east and ended up staying in Johnstown NY for the night.
On Sunday, we took in the sights and visited Saratoga Springs briefly. We also saw Saratoga Lake which was beautiful. We finished up the day by going to John Boyd Thacher State Park. We did some hiking, had a quick lunch, and headed to the playground so that Aidan could play play play! There weren’t too many people around so Aidan got to do whatever he wanted (as though he doesn’t get that already).

Pictures uploaded!

Please feel free to check out the thousands of pictures now online. It took hours to upload all of the pictures since I have so many to share with everyone. I am in the process of categorizing the pictures so bear with me on that. I literally have to take over 2000 pictures and organize them. I’ll post more information as soon as I learn how to run this thing better.

Greetings!
