Easter

It it an amazing 85F day in April!  We went to Easter Brunch at Tupper Manor (Endicott College) followed by a trip to a Dane Street Park in Beverly.  We are now resting after eating too much!

Hawaii!

After a one week trip to Arizona for Christmas, we spent two weeks on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Key highlights were a helicopter trip over the volcano, lots of sea turtles, and a dolphin adventure.  The trip was scheduled for 10 days but due to airline mechanical difficulties our trip was extended an extra 4 days (compliments of the airline).  We were happy to get back home!  Rocket has been a little neurotic since our return (he didn't approve of us being gone for 3 weeks!).

Finally Posting! Disney, Arizona, California, Father's Day

The 2nd half of 2015 was busy.  Zach got his tracheostomy back (after a 3 year break).  We are re-accustomed with carrying some extra gear around.  We've had a busy travel year after Zach's health improved with a trip to Disney World (Thanksgiving), Arizona (Christmas), DisneyLand (January), and back to Arizona for Memorial Day!

Boston Public Garden and Common

After our trip to Arizona, Zach proceeded to get sick for the week.  Sunday he felt a little better so we took him into Boston for a trip to the park.  He is still a little under the weather but slowly recovering. He was well enough to go horseback riding today and swinging!

 

Memorial Day Arizona Trip: Phoenix, Cottonwood, Flagstaff

We had fun visiting family over Memorial Day week!  Our trip included a Memorial Day BBQ at Jason's cousins house, a quick trip to Cottonwood, followed by Flagstaff (including a birthday party for Brenna's mom and niece Elsa!).

Mother's Day/Jason's Birthday, Fun in NH with the Grandparents

 Easter afternoon at my favorite park - Patton Park, Hamilton, MA 

 Zach and Rocket on our front deck - playing in our Ikea tent.  Rocket isn't sure about springtime weather (too hot!)

Grandma and Grandpa Frazier came to visit to help with April vacation.  During their visit we went to NH (about 1 hour away!) and stayed the night in Merrimack.  Merrimack is known for a new outlet mall and the Northeast Budwiser plant (with the Clydesdales!).  The first 2 photos are from America's Stonehenge (our first stop on the trip)

 Zach's annual horse show was at Lovelane on May 2nd.  He always rides this pony - Trevor.

 During the Grandparent's visit we found Rocky Neck in Gloucester, MA.  This part of Gloucester is picture perfect and a great find.  This photo is from after their visit (Mother's Day/Jason't Birthday weekend)

Easter!

We decorated eggs with a new egg sprayer, which was fun and messy.  Also Zach had fun finding his basket and playing with his new gifts (Rocket did too).  However, his Easter bandana was a snug fit since he was pretty small last Easter!
