Zoo Trip

We went to the zoo today with my friend Katie, her baby Kyla and Katie's cousin Michelle and her baby Gracie. We had beautiful weather and a great day -- here are some pics (thank you Katie for letting me steal some of yours!)

Kindergarten Haircut

My hairdresser went all out for Charlie's much needed beginning-of-the-schoolyear haircut, even giving Charlie a pre cut shampoo and condition. The best part? She still only charged me $12!
Here are some pics of Charlie's first "grown up" haircut...

New Look...

So when I went to the eye doctor the other week he made me swear I would embrace my inner dork and start wearing glasses as much as possible, to protect my right eye since it is the only one that actually has any useful vision. So here they are... How much they are actually worn remains to be seen ;)

Busy Weekend

Yesterday we went up to New Hampshire and spent the day swimming, fishing and boating on the lake. It was hot and humid and the fish were biting, so it was a perfect day for all three of those activities!

We spent the night and then, after another successful round of fishing this morning, headed next door to Candia NH where we had Groupons for a water park. The kids had fun -- there was a big spray ground for Amelia, and Charlie had a blast on the zip line; Mike was afraid he was going to chicken out once they got up to the tower but he was practically pushing the attendent out of the way so he could go. They also had a giant floating water slide in the middle of a man made lake, which proved to be quite a work out for us adults trying to keep up with a very active five year old... Here are some pictures of the weekend's boating, fishing and splashing!

Fenway First

Mike took Charlie to Fenway Park for his first baseball game today - a minor league game between the Portland Sea Dogs and the Birmingham Mets. The game went into extra innings; the boys lasted into the 11th inning before deciding to head home. Here are some pics Mike took while there, of Charlie at the Ted Williams statue, in the ballpark, and eating cotton candy. Looks like it was a fun day!
