Story Time with Big Sister

DeCordova Museum

One beautiful day in July, we went with Grandma and the Lubrettsky's to the DeCordova Museum. This museum has a lot of large outside art/sculptures, and was set among some fantastic landscaping. We went on a small walk to see some of these although it seems like there were many more acres we didn't have time to explore. Here are a few examples:

The kids also had fun looking for ants and letting them crawl all over them (ew!). Luckily they didn't find too many. I'm pretty sure Cecilia would have passed on this particular activity if it weren't for her cousins. :)

The whole set of pictures can be found here.

Tummy Time!

The Greenway

Cecilia had a great time with Abby, Olivia, Aaron and Jacob on the Greenway one day this summer. They all enjoyed running in the sprinklers:

 

 

There were also these cool blue blocks set out for kids to play with:

Harbor Islands Trip

We had our annual trip to the Harbor Islands in July with the Lubrettsky's, and also with Melanie, Nils, and Astrid. We did the same thing we did last year - we went to Georges Island to walk around the fort, then we took the ferry to Spectacle Island to go to the beach for a short time.

The kids really enjoyed the ferry rides:

A little golf cart was a big hit in the fort:

Some pics from the beach at Spectacle Island. This year, Cecilia did not sleep through the beach portion of the trip. (She also did not fall asleep in her stroller - we didn't bring it - and even better, she didn't pee while asleep in her stroller.)

Just a nice pic:

NYC with the Johnsons

In July, we took the Johnsons with us to New York City. One thing we did was take a kid-friendly cruise around the Statue of Liberty! They had a lot of kid activities on board, such as animal balloons, magicians and a pirate that walked around, etc.

I think Jasper was not interested in taking a picture that day, and I don't know why Bronwyn and Cecilia both have such funny expressions on their faces... But everyone had a great time.

To this day, Cecilia can still recognize the Statue of Liberty, which is pretty cool.
