A Little Charm

Down the street, one small block, from Auntie K's house is a really pretty rotary which is a large fountain/park area in the middle and it is even home to some Geese. This is a great showing of some simple New England charm. One day while daddy was doing some repairs for Auntie we took a walk to check out the Geese and give them some lunch.

Bronto Burgers

We went to a BBQ at a friends house and they had these amazing pepper burgers. They came from a deli counter at a small grocery store so we ventured off one afternoon and picked some up for a cook-out we were having. They were delicious, these were the only pictures from our cook-out - they are brontosaurus size and almost impossible to finish one but are they yum delicious!

Castle Island

Castle Island is located in South Boston on the shore of Boston Harbor. It is currently a 22-acre recreation site, and the site of a five sided fort first built in 1643. They have a great beach type restaurant, walking or riding path and a small beach. One day we spent part of the afternoon with some friends – the girls did beach stuff and Daddy did some Metal Detecting and found some really cool things. This is a really small section near the restaurant perfect for little kids to have some beach fun. Kelsey and Deb doing some wading.

The water was a little murkey but that didn't stop Kelsey...she is such a fish.

Try Try Again

The kids just never get tired of going to the park and now since we have moved we are visiting all kinds of new parks which is like an adventure for the kids they just love it!

This park has these swinging things they kind of remind me of pendulums. They moving back and forth and you step across. We have been teaching Kelsey "If at First You Don't Success -TRY, TRY again". The second time across with a big smile she recited that saying and shined a big smile!

Some are Gold!

We feel so lucky to have so many great friends in our life! One evening after my birthday one of those friends call and stopped by for an impromptu visit - the best kind - no planning - no fussing just some old fashioned hanging out and catching up. Unfortunately we visited so long and forgot about the camera until it was dark and here are some shots of the kids hanging out together. David and Kelsey are about one month apart. LJ and I have been friends for 35+ years!

Summer Fun

This summer it has been great to be able to hang out with some friends and their children. This is one of those days, hanging out with the Fopi's! Kelsey and J in the pool float. J&J. Little J is doing great with his floaties and just loves the water. He is definitely a fish in the making.

And another one.

A fun day was had by all.

Two Legged Friends

In our backyard there are tons of bird feeders and they attract a ton of different birds. The Blue jays and Cardinals have these amazing vibrant colors. There are also House Finch, Morning Doves and of course Sparrows.

The kids love to fill the feeders and the birds clear out all the food in less than a day. I can only imagine what winter is going to be like. I guess well have to start buying 100 pound bags to keep up with them. The cats caught a Blue jay this week - yuck!
