It is the end of May already and we are happy to report we had the best Memorial Day weekend - thanks to our visitors. On Friday,
Andro, Jenn,
Luka and Aidan made it all the way from New Jersey. As frequent travelers ourselves, we understand what a big deal it is to travel. So we are so thankful when we have visitors. We had a little pizza party upon their arrival and the boys were so excited because it was
Luka's birthday. Of course, we had an ice cream cake to celebrate.
All the boys got into the action and had to help blow out the candles.
The next day we thought we would go on an
outing. We went to the Franklin Park Zoo fully equipped with
strollers and excited kids. As you can see, we all had our hands full.
Of course, we saw the gorillas, tigers, monkeys,
leopards, zebras and so much more. I think we were all thrilled that the Lion was actually awake and roaring...it was so surreal that we actually thought it sounded like a tape recording. However, once we saw it for ourselves there was no denying that it was real.
Part of the zoo is a little petting farm and Aunt Jenn was there to help Garrett feed the goats.
I think
Luka and Aidan need a pony - they are ready to learn to ride.
Look closely and all the kids are actually in this picture, including
Andro. Connor is the cow in the upper left hand corner, Aidan is the rooster in the bottom left hand corner,
Luka is the goat in the middle, Garrett is the cat in the lower right hand corner and
Andro is the old wise owl in the upper right hand corner.
We just couldn't stay home during the weekend. Sunday, we took off for Boston and a duck boat tour. All the kids received a quacking whistle which they took full advantage. It is always nice to learn a little history during the tours - poor Connor and Garrett were so tired that they fell asleep. Connor couldn't understand why the boat never went into the water. He wanted to immediately get back on because he was so upset that he missed the water portion of the tour.
We then headed to a small sandwich shop for lunch. A squirrel gave the kids so much enjoyment. There was a squirrel which was camped out in the garbage can outside the cafe which kept poking its head out. The kids loved watching the squirrel and thank goodness the kids were smart enough to keep their distance. This pole was right near the garbage can and the kids had a blast climbing and running around it.
Once we got home, we went to the Japanese restaurant which seems to be a favorite for all four boys. From across the grill, how cute are they!
It was such a fun weekend and we can't wait to plan our trip back to New Jersey.
