Last Beach Day :-(

Of course, Aiden only had eyes for the girls rowing team that was doing calisthenics on land.

"Nan's Park"

Poolside Playdate

While the Mommies played tennis, the Daddies and the kiddos had fun in the pool!  Daddy takes Bree and Aiden's buddy, Oden, for a motor boat ride.

Southwick Zoo

Our cousin (or really, Mommy's little cousin) Johanna came for a visit.  We took her on an adventure to Southwick Zoo.  We all had a very fun day!!

Lego Master

Great Falls Balloon Festival

Big Bad, Joe Joe takes Bree for a ride on his motorcycle.  Where are your helmets, kids?!

The "kiddie rides" weren't cuttin' it for Aiden.  He went bungee jumping!  Brave boy!

One More Visit

One last visit to Grammy & Grampy before summer comes to an end.

The silly uncle.

First Bree eats Bree's dessert....

.....then Bree mooches Mommy's dessert.

Movie star!

Hi Liam! xoxo

Nerdy cousins.  :-)

Crazy Hat Week -- A Re-Cap (no pun intended....)

This week was Crazy Hat Week at preschool summer camp.  Before the crazy hats get tossed in the recycle bin (Oops!  Did I say that out loud?), we needed some pictures of the kids modeling their masterpieces.  As you can see, Aiden was extremely enthused to have his picture taken.

Royal princess wimple and prince crown. 

Bon Appetite!  My lil' chefs.

Yar!  Friendly pirates.

Birds nest hats.  Kinda weird and didn't stay on very well without assistance, but still fun.  All-in-all, Crazy Hat Week was very good time according to both kids, and a nice introduction to preschool for Miss Bree. :-)

Whose Big Girl Bed is This Anyway?!?!

Crib, converted to toddler bed, converted to big kid bed.  Somehow Aiden must have a sense that this bed (crib) was originally intended for him when it was purchased nearly 5 years ago.  

Nature's Not THAT Bad, Brienne! Buck up, Camper!

Mommy-Aiden TIme

Mommy & Aiden got to spend some rare one-on-one time together while Grammy was visiting.  Aiden chose to take me on a hike to a new favorite trail he explored with Daddy earlier this summer.  So fun to hang with my boy!  xoxo

Giddy-Up Aiden!

Up Do

Salisbury Beach

Wasn't too long ago that these little monsters didn't want to get their feet dirty in the sand.  "Mess! Mess!"  Now that they love it, hopefully there will be many more visits to the beach in our future.

This is how Bree spent the better part of the afternoon.  By the time she woke up, we were packing to go home!

While Bree slept the afternoon away, Aiden & the Maclean boys got themselves buried in the sand by the dads.  Oh what fun!

Beach bums.
