Summer Fun - Part 2

Well, since it's Columbus Day weekend and this post has been sitting in my drafts for over a month, I guess I should actually post it! 

Here's a look at some of our summer fun during the second half of the summer - you know, the half when I was extremely tired & nauseous a lot of the time :) We tried to make the best of it!

Swimming & picnics at Papa & Gaga's pool in North Brookfield

Curly Girl learned how to swim without her floatie! In water she can stand in :)

Dance parties out in the yard

Another trip up to Maine to go to our favorite beach - York Harbor Beach

While in Maine, we also celebrated Cutly Girl's half birthday. 4.5 is a pretty big deal ;)

We also spent our first two nights ever in a tent (as a family) and it went surprisingly well!

And we celebrated Darling Daddy's 33rd birthday while in Maine

Picnic in the park with friends

Swimming, sunbathing & lunch with some other friends. Curly Girl's "twin" :)

A visit to the spray park in Worcester

More playground fun with Ginger Boy

Lots of swimming success in some local lakes. I think being able to touch the bottom boosts their confidence in swimming

A visit to the Boston Museum of Science

After the museum we took a trip to Boston Commons, Fanuel Hall & Quincy Market - with the giant double stroller :)

Grape picking & jelly making from our local grapes that grow in our neighborhood. I only set the smoke detectors off for about 5 minutes straight when the jelly bubbled over...

Lots of tree climbing whenever and wherever she can find a tree

And then Curly Girl started preschool! And Ginger Boy got his first date with mom :)

All in all, it was a great summer! And we're excited for the excitement that will be added to our family next summer :)
