-Adventures! The Aquarium, the Children's Museum, Drumlin Farms, all in a few short days...It was especially fun (and surprisingly easy) to be in downtown Boston.
-Playing at a local beach on a rare heat wave (80+) day in April- Lucy and Sam loved watching the fish and playing in the sand and with balls.
-A wonderful family dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's house- Lucy and Sam had a blast with their doting and playful cousins and aunts and uncles.
-Sam feeding "oo-cee" (Lucy) cheerios and giving her hugs and kisses.
-Hearing Sam's French words (encore, bebe...) and his funny smile when one of us tried to speak French.
-John (aka Mark Poppins) cleaning up the disaster of the house every day after the kids were in bed- our house and kitchen never looked this good!
-John and Caitlin cooked the most amazing gourmet meal for us- marinated steak, roasted potatoes, asparagus delicious appetizers, fruit nut and goat cheese salads, and a divine chocolate lava cake dessert with real whipped cream and blackberries. It was quite a meal.
-Reading "yummy/yucky" with Sam (pictures to follow)- he is such a sweet, funny guy, and I loved our time with him.
Grandma came with us to the children's museum. She's so great with the kids, and they love being with her.
Lucy and I on another hot April day before heading to Grandma and Grandpa's.

And at the Aquarium, Lucy sporting her Mama's shades.
Sam and Lucy really enjoyed the aquarium. I think Sam's favorites were the sharks and the turtles. Lucy loved watching the penguins, and also the brightly colored fish. We actually got some cool pictures of the jelly fish and tropical fish. We were all amazed by the beautiful diversity of the fish and creatures.
