Stone Zoo

I'm posting a lot of photos today! Be sure to click on "older posts" at the bottom of the page so you don't miss anything.

Today we visited the Stone Zoo and we had a great time. The weather was perfect. It's smaller than the Franklin Park Zoo that we visited a few weeks ago, so it was easier to handle. There were some amazing animals there. We all agreed the bears were the best!

I think Jane gets the hang of it a little more than Malcolm does...

We took Lindsay's car to the orchard since it was parked behind mine. Jane got to sit in Rosalie's booster seat... I don't think she was too sure about it!

applesauce

we've been making lots of applesauce lately, and the kids like to help!

arts fair

A few weeks ago we visited Boston to go to an arts fair. We took the subway. Malcolm had never been on it and Jane hadn't since she was a baby, so it was quite an adventure!

Jane contributed her talent to a huge mural



we enjoyed a chocolatey treat afterwards!
