Spontaneous Trip

As we were packing up from the beach today Moezy and Grace called and wanted to know if we wanted to go to the Buttonwood Zoo. Of course we said yes!

We started on the Merry-Go-Round where they kids were excited to ride on different animals.




We saw some animals,



rode in a train and on a pony,




yelled at some birds,

posed,



walked hand in hand,


and found ourselves right back at the merry-go-round!

Touch a Truck

NOTE The sun has come back and thus I have had no time to complete this post, better a partial post then nothing at all.

I don't know where the beach weather has disappeared to but I do hope it comes back soon!

Today we went to the Barnstable Village "Touch a Truck", great fun for the kids!
Of all the "trucks" the school bus was the first thing we had to run to.>

Busy, Busy

I was exhausted today and looking at my photos I can now see why.

Thursday we went to Heritage Museum and Gardens what a beautiful day and place to explore. Of course the carousel was a huge hit.


They had great hammock swings


My kids cracked me up by essentially joining a school group!!



If you are reading this and are on FB you already know this story but I want to preserve it for years to come. Michelle saw a solider playing with his child and went up to say "thank you for your service". It was so precious!!


After a picnic and some more playing it was time for naps!!!




Saturday was Michelle's first dance recital!!! She did so great and wished she could go on stage more, guess I should have taken her to tryouts for a summer play.







I think Charlie sitting on this little bench enjoying his after the show ice cream is so cute.

Today was help Nani and Grampa get the boat ready day, the kids sort of helped.




Charlie is all about safety!



Happy Father's Day Mike!

Paws for Celebration

My friend Stacey has been donating a great deal of time to the Animal Rescue League of Boston for a few years now and she was instrumental in putting together a GREAT dog friendly event to raise money for the shelters today. She asked Mike and colleagues to do a K9 demo. There was so much to do the kids had a great time!
Max had to stay home because of his leg but Zoe came and got to play with her boyfriend Mulligan, :-)


I never had a dog growing up but the love between this two is so adorable it brings tears to my eyes thinking about the envitable day in the hopefully very far future!! The craziest thing to me is that when Zoe was in the hospital for a few days at the house Charlie was the one who asked about her all the time. I guess Michelle just didn't want to think about it.









Oh and I had to get their picture with Bachelorette contestant Chris Lambton, ha ha.
