Again, it has been a while and so here I am putting up a bunch of pictures, with a few description here and there. That is just how I roll. I am sorry if you don't like this format, it is just how things are going to proceed.
We went to a great zoo in Attleboro, called the Capron Zoo. After the Fun Free Friday debacle, we wanted to find something a low-key and still within our price range. The Capron zoo fit the bill. It was really quite inexpensive and it had a good amount of animals and a splash pad. We loved it!
Don't you just love this sign?!
Here are the kids playing at Tangerini's. Sorry, we do that a lot these days. It is beautiful! And look at all those awesome sand toys.
Here are some carrots I thinned. I was proud to say that something grew. My tomatoes are doing fantastically. I am excited for the harvest of our meager garden.
2 week ago, Jimmy got some Red Sox tickets. We went as a family, even though it was late, though we only stayed through the 5th inning. Turns out the game got much better after we left and they actually won.
Here is Sam's shirt, which is the shirt Lucy wore when she was 3 months old (it was big on her then). Sam is such a little peanut.
Lucy was pretty excited!
And this is Sam and me all worried, because the game really wasn't going that well. Sam loved all the people to watch. He flirted with people 4 or 5 rows back.
The next day we went to the Boston Children's museum. Beforehand we went to lunch at Jimmy's favorite restaurant in Boston No Names. It was good, though it was quite a hike with all the construction.
The Museum was great. Lucy got to play with bubbles, water, and even drive a school bus (which was her favorite).
Lucy driving the school bus, here favorite exhibit.
Here is Lucy dancing in the Arthur video.
And Sam driving the forklift. He is one handsome little construction worker.
Sam and big Papi!
This picture is for Peder. Turns out there was a Cape Verde portion of the museum.
And to complete this post, I have put up a few pictures from our excursion to Canobie Lake Park. Lucy was able to ride several rides, mostly rides that went around a circle. It was perfect. She could go on them alone, and they weren't really scary.
This scares me a bit. Though she drives like an old lady, with her face 2 inches from the steering wheel.
Unfortunately I did not get a single picture of our camping trip this past weekend. The camera was not charged. The story of my life. But we went to Saugus MA, to a small camp with 3 campsites and a few ponds. It was really quite nice. Besides trying to keep the children out of the fire I do believe it went quite well. We borrowed a tent big enough to put the pack-n-play in, and Lucy and Sam slept in the big tent and we slept in our two man directly next door. After a decent night's rest we went on a short hike and then to the Iron Works national monument. We saw the large waterwheels that worked the furnace and iron making machines and even saw a nail formed by their "blacksmith." It was very interesting. And it was free and about 3 miles from our campsite. It was well worth the visit.
And here are some videos of said adventures.

Here is Jimmy and Lucy on the Jungle jump (similar to the Tower of Terror - Jimmy's least favorite ride)
