Visiting Beantown...
























































Yes, way back in June we were in the Boston area...I am running soo behind on my last few months of blogging...
Holly, Joey and Ryan graciously hosted our stay. As always we had a delightful time. Jimmy looks forward to the annual Rusty Brown Showdown golf tournament that soo many of his old co-workers from Haley & Aldrich attend...the spouses and kids get to meet up for the afterward BBQ. It is always nice to catch up with everyone. Although, each year battling Cape traffic gets less and less appealing; with 3 young children in the car life is sure an adventure...Poor Ryan was stuffed back in the 3rd row...for some reason I could not get the console out of the 2nd row so he literally had to climb in!
Ryan was GREAT at sharing! Ethan marched into the house and straight to Ryan's gourmet kitchen set...yes, we need to work on Ethan visiting with PEOPLE and not going straight to the toys! Ethan is amazed with all Ryan's big boy toys...and I am pretty sure Ryan has every toy that was ever made;-) Ryan was absolutely adorable with Daphne...and Daphne enjoyed having attention from a boy who was not trying to wrestle her down!
The time always goes by soo fast. We had an adventure to Drumlin Farm while the boys were golfing---Thanks Holly! Ethan of course was in heaven...anything to do with animals and hayrides...he kept asking where the giraffe was though...oppsie getting the zoo mixed up with the farm! We made it to Good Harbor beach for a day. Cafe Mirror was as good as I remembered...hopefully they will not remember us the next time we visit...as Ethan managed to spill his milk, then tilt a neighboring table and make a complete mess as the sugar jar crashed to the floor! Aggghhh the terrible 2's! And then somehow we ran out of time...We never made it into the city! There is always next time!
