April vacation

Aside from the horrible news on Monday afternoon, we have had a great vacation week. We changed some plans in order to avoid the city, but we ended up having a good time anyway. On Monday we went on a tour of historic places in Acton to celebrate Patriots Day with our friends Jacob and Eliana.

The kids had fun running in the Exchange Hall!

They got to ring the big bell, also.

On Tuesday we had a windy visit to the playground. We met our friends Gracie, Dylan and Brandon, but I didn't get a picture of them together.

Jane took this one.

When we got ice cream, I had us eat in the car because it was so windy! Jane even had a bug stuck to her ice cream.

On Wednesday we went to an indoor gym/play space with Meredith and Graham. The kids had so much fun!

After that, we went home for lunch and then met our friends again at the park. It was so nice out!

Jane rode Malcolm's bike and Graham (age 9) rode Jane's! It was so funny.

Jane and Rosalie constructed caterpillar homes because they remembered finding one at that playground last year!

In the afternoon it was "bring your kids to work" day at Daddy's work!

Friday brought more wind, the kids got sand blown in their eyes at this playground. We met up with Hannah and her new sister Zoe! She's so cute. I wish I had taken a photo of them!

At home Jane noticed the magnolia blooming.

School vacation weeks can be scary, but it looks like you all breezed through it! I'll be Malcolm really enjoyed having more time with Jane. It was great meeting you out at the park--we'll do it again soon.
