the circus

We went to the Big Apple Circus last week. None of my photos of the actual circus came out well, but you can see Jane and Malcolm having a snack in Quincy Market beforehand.

We ate lunch at the Green Dragon afterwards. We hadn't been there in years but we used to frequent it because of the Green Dragon in Lord of the Rings. Too bad it was bought by some big company and the food wasn't as good! The kids were still happy since they got hot dogs.

trains

I love this idea Jane came up with. She drew trains with black marker, then they each colored them in. Afterwards they cut them out and made more train cars and taped them together.

Maine Wildlife Park

The Sunday before last, we traveled to Maine to celebrate Grammy's birthday and mother's day. We met Grammy, Nana and Grandpa at the Maine Wildlife Park. Here are some highlights. A few photos are from Grandpa!

The highlights of the children's fair today were riding different bikes and petting some animals!

The firetruck was cool, too.

discovery museums

It was pretty cloudy and rainy last week. We had fun visiting the discovery museums!

Jane liked reading different books.

In the afternoon we went to the science building. We had never been there before because it's meant for kids age 6 and up, but Jane and Malcolm loved it. We'll definitely go back soon!

They got to record their voices and play them back in a silly way.

t-ball opening day

Little League had their parade on Saturday. Here's Jane getting ready for it to begin.

She had fun walking down the road with no cars!

After my one-mile parade walk with Jane to the field I realized that my car, husband and son were at the beginning of the parade and the parade was not going back. Since Dad has no cell phone, I quickly walked back to the beginning in shoes that were not appropriate for the task. Luckily the boys were waiting in the car and everything was okay, and Jane did great waiting with her team for us to join her.

Here are photos of the one-inning exhibition game.

Malcolm was a good sport during all the festivities!

After the game was the photo session. Of course the photographer asked Jane to show her teeth, and forcing a smile is never attractive! This one came out better.

Except for one boy missing, this is her team. Aren't they cute?
