Labor Day Vacation - White Mountains, NH

It was our first vacation where we all had fun!  Zach especially liked the swimming pool and the top of Cannon Mountain.

Cannon Mountain

New Camera!

In preparation for our big vacation (3 days in the White Mountains), we bought a new camera.  Seems a bit overkill for our skill level (we more than tripled our mega pixels!).

Big Day before the big storm

Zach had a big day.  First he managed to spill a bottle of water all over the floor and on himself - too exciting!!  He didn't seem to mind being wet as seen from the photo below.  In the afternoon we took a trip to the Institute of Contemporary Art.  Jason had bought a 1/2 off membership and we were required to redeem by the end of August.  With Hurricane Irene heading our way we decided to go today.  It was a nice trip, but a little hurried.  The museum is right on the water with excellent views!

Corn & Tomato festival in Concord, MA

Nothing is more exciting than celebrating the arrival of the tomato and corn crops here in MA right?  Right?  Anyway, we found this fun, and Zach really liked playing with this water bottle.  He did get to pose briefly as a corn kernel, with some help from dad.  To those in corn advertising, you know where to reach us.

Providence

It was a busy day...Wretham Outlets for pants (Jason needs non-holey non-jeans for his new job) followed by dinner in Providence.  We went with the entire family...Brenna, Jason, Zach and Gerry!  We happened along an art fair along the way where Brenna found authentic French macarons - yum! 

Zach loved the light fixtures!

Finger painting with OT

Back when he was really little, finger painting, or anything similarly messy, was about the only thing that caused a severe negative response.  Now he seems ok with them, usually.  Here was a session with his normal OT in the house.  He's sitting in his cardboard-based Perkins chair/desk.
