Even though it's less than a mile away, we have so many playgrounds within a couple blocks of our house, we never made it to this one, which is very close to Harvard Square. It's a super awesome playground! Very innovative and creative, as you can partly see from this video.



We also got to go to a local fair at a church nearby, where they were having some kids' activities and used stuff for sale. The highlight for Cecilia was this huge bouncy house that was more like an obstacle course, with a huge slide at the end. She went on it 5 times in a row, and kept coming back to us for more tickets to do it again. At the end, the person admitting kids into the obstacle course let her go on it a couple of times for free.

With the Lubrettsky's

One weekend in May, we had to leave Cecilia with her cousins for a couple days. Doesn't look like she was suffering too much:

She went to a Christening with Ben, Jen, Aaron and Jacob, got to wear her super pretty dress, and played with Olivia and Abby for hours. Sounds like a pretty good time...

Haverhill Kids Fest

In early May we went to a little rinky dink Kids Fest, held in a huge parking lot of a small nearby town. I gotta be honest, the main reason we went was because they advertised a few bouncy houses, which Cecilia was hugely into at the time.



But they did a great job! It started out with a stuffed animal/doll parade:

And was complete with face-painting:

They also had an awesome drumming circle:



And an animal demonstration. The turtle crawled all the way across the parking lot!



All in all, a very good time. :)

Empty Beach

We went to the beach last weekend but were too late for a parking spot at Wingaersheek, so headed over to a spot we know in Stage Fort park in Gloucester and we almost had the whole thing to ourselves. It's so different up here compared what I grew up with at Jones Beach in New York, which was always a mob scene. I really love our family beach days.

Ok so it's not a perfect pose, but hey we got the shot! Taken on the Circle Line during a fun weekend in New York with the Johnson family.
