Savannah fell asleep looking out the back of the boat!

Frying Pan Farm

 We had a great time visiting Frying Pan Farm with the TeamMates ABF last week.


 Friends
 Tractor Ride!

A few days last week were rainy, so the girls had fun jumping and getting wet!
 
This fawn and her momma have been coming to our yard pretty often lately.
 My silly girls. They love chasing each other around the house!
 Geneva is big into standing and pointing her finger! 
Such a happy baby!

Aunt Dottie Turns 102 Years Old!!

Happy Birthday Aunt Dottie! 
 What an amazing lady she is! She still lives on her own, walks to the store (and comparison shops for the best price), and does the crossword puzzle every day.
 It was so fun to see her light up being with the kids.
 Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Kenny were so kind to let us stay in their house while they went on vacation last week. We were glad we got to see them for the afternoon!
 Geneva really wanted to pet Sammy, but Sammy's not into little kids.
Yipee! We had a great trip and made it home safe. Everyone did great on the drive.

Farm and Beach

In CA some people ski and surf in one day, well in Massachusetts we go to the farm and beach in the same day.
 Bunnies
 It was a beautiful day at the farm.
 Mimi flew into MA, so we had two days with her!
 The farm not only had animals, produce growing, yummy donuts, but also a pond!


After our morning at the farm, we picked up AD and headed to a beach in New Hampshire. 
 
There was a fun kid's concert at the beach. The girls got to play the drums on stage.

 And a dance party!
 We enjoyed fried clams and pizza during the concert :)

 Then we had a quick stop playing in the water. 
 Yes, the girls got their clothes completely wet!
What a fun day!

Aunt Dottie's for Breakfast

 What a sweet aunt she is! She set her alarm to wake up early so she could prepare breakfast for us at her apartment.
 The whole gang eating :)
After breakfast, we went candle pin bowling. 

  Savannah was able to get her ball down the lane in a straight line with this help!
 
 I love Maddie's form!

That night we made dinner for AD and did nails.
Since it was raining, the kids (yes, all 3 kids in the pic) got in their suits and played tag outside. They came in with leaves sticking to their heads. Such goofy characters!

Our Visit with Aunt Dottie

Last week we drove up to Massachusetts to visit with my Great Aunt Dottie. She's always played a spacial role in my life, and she continues to do so with my kids (despite being 102 years old)!
 Geneva loved her immediately! It's been 8 months since they've been together. They played peek a boo on the couch, cuddled, and gave kisses.

Geneva looked bigger than Aunt Dottie!
 One morning we went to the local health club to play in the water!
Savannah painted with water :)
 The girls loved it!
 Then we took AD to her paper store. She walks to this place almost every day to get the NY Times. 
 Grocery shopping...
 Aunt Dottie is so cute. She loves her ice cream!
Love them.
