Boston Aquarium


Spring is Here!!! And we are enjoying it
immensely....especially with 80 degree days!!! We took the kids on their first train ride to Boston to explore the New England Aquarium. The train was very exciting (and a whole lot less stressful for mom and dad), especially the "cafe car." The aquarium was full of common and not so common aquatic life, including sharks, giant sea turtles, and sea dragons. The kids favorite part was the GIANT tank stretching up the middle of the three story aquarium. They enjoyed touching star fish, crabs, and sea life in the hands on tank. We got up close and personal with a baby anaconda and some African Penguins. The kids enjoyed taking a much needed break in the "kids discovery" room where they built towers, played games, listened to stories, and chewed on toys (in Kalli's case). They were bitterly disappointed that the octopus never woke up, despite their....shall we say... encouraging??? "Octopus, WAKE UP!!!!" "Octopus, why aren't you moving?" "Octopus, we will come back later and see you." It was very entertaining.
A wonderful spring break trip for all of us!

Here is Alan's paintball marker firing full auto out the upstairs window.

Kaylynn ready for the Nutcracker!

Kalli so cute!

Isn't he cute?!

More pics from the Mushers Bowl. Doesn't Kalli remind you of that kid in "A Christmas Story." She is comfortable, I promise.

We went to the Mushers Bowl a couple weekends ago. It was exciting to watch the dog racing. The kids got a kick out of how fast the dogs ran and how many it took to pull a sled.
Snow forts are fun to build...although the snow in Maine does not always cooperate. It has a couple of times, and we were able to make a couple of fun snow forts!

Crawling Kalli


I thought I would post Kalli crawling. She has been crawling for two months, but many of you haven't seen it yet. Enjoy!

Fun in the Snow

Dancing Jeremie


Jeremie is such a wonderful dancer that I wanted to capture it on film. Unfortunately, as soon as I said something, it ruined it. You can get a taste for his dancing skills, though. Who knows where he'll be in twenty years???? LOL
