summer time fun!

Len had the weekend off, so we decided to drive to Stow, Ohio and visit our good friends!  The Tranchells are in Ohio doing their residency.  We had so much fun!   After our weekend of fun, Len went back to MA and left me with the kids to play in Ohio.  

Abbie & Sophie sunbathing!

All the kids waiting outside The Harry London Chocolate Factory.

We went on a tour, it was delicious!

Livy, Tiff & Sophie, posing in the rain!

Abbie was not very excited!

All the kids in the car while we drove to MA!

They all came back with us, to spend some time at our house!

This is a weed mess in my yard.  Tiffany and I put down a lot of blood, sweat, and tears until it looked like this................

We built the planter box ourselves, did all the weeding, and planted a little garden!

It literally took all day!

We went to the Boston Zoo.  This is a beautiful butterfly from the exhibit they have!

Of course what is a trip to the Zoo without riding on the carousel?

I don't know what to say.

Part of the Zoo was blocked while a movie was being filmed.

Tiff asked one of the crew members what it was called.  

He said : The Zoo Keeper?

Guess we will wait and see!

The kids on the train!

Next we went to Boston Commons to check it out!

From this picture you can tell the kids were not as enthusiastic as we were.

We were not about to let four grumpy kids ruin our fun!

Owen posed for the picture!

Owen took one of us!

Just remember humidity = slick ponytail!

These two had so much fun together!

These two, not so much!

You can't visit Boston without seeing Cheers!

Too bad we had four screaming kids with us.

We really could have used a beer!

Owen and Livy saying goodbye!

I just about cried when they left!

It was like having your family leave!

We definitely have to do that again!
