Strawberry Picking at Drumlin Farm

The farm was picked out in 30 minutes!  We had to sell back one (of two) of our quart containers because we barely filled one. Also, strawberry picking isn't well suited for a wheelchair - guess raspberry and apple are better for us!  But, Zach still had a great time.

Father's Day

We went to deCordova Museum followed by too much seafood on the new patio.  We also tried making smores...unfortunately the fire pit fire was a bit weak!

Dairy Day at Drumlin Farm (Lincoln, MA)

The weather cooperated and we enjoyed the afternoon at Drumlin Farm.  We ate ice cream, watched ice cream making, made a cow puppet, got to see some sheep, goats and calves up close.  

Jason's Birthday, Mother's Day, Etc...

May was full of activities, we've just been negligent on updating the blog!

Below is Jason's Birthday - Zach is helping out with unwrapping the gifts.  

For Mother's Day, Brenna chose to go to her favorite beach.  Unfortunately, she didn't know it is plover nesting/resting season (April-August!) and the state park was basically closed with the exception of a small rocky beach.  

Zach was the star in his classroom's production of The Very Hungry Caterpillar!  We were very proud.  The collaborative director placed a video on his blogsite and it can be found at the link below:

After the play, Zach went into the classroom ball pit:

Last weekend was Winchester town day.  Zach got to climb into some equipment.  He was very excited.

April Vacation in NH with the Fraziers

We got to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Frazier in April in NH.  As you can see from the pictures it was cold and snowy out (even snowing during our trip), but we persevered and still had fun!  We took in an indoor water park (hard to get good pictures) and went for a ride on the North Conway Scenic Railroad...

We saw a fierce wild animal at a state park near the base of Mt Washington.  We made sure to stay in the car with the windows up (other than tossing some trail mix in its direction)...

Then we found a cool park in Cambridge that had swings and something we'd never seen before which looked like a UFO/hubcap-shaped swing that Zach really seemed to enjoy.

All in all it was a great time and we were sad to let them leave, although I'm sure they were happy to return to warmer weather!
