An Evening Downtown

After a few days inside with the boys, Scott and I decided that we should pack the boys up and head downtown to expend some energy outside. We took the boys for a walk over the Fall River Bridge and down by the river just to roam around. They watched people, dogs and the ducks and found sticks and rocks to through into the river. You know, normal little boy stuff! Grayson and I climbed on the big rocks near the bottom of the waterfall. Oh! What a site that was!!

We also enjoyed yummy ice cream from Spill the Beans (Daddy and Mommy had Starbucks).

If you haven't had the chance to get to Falls Park , you really should try it! There is so much to see and it really has turned into a beautiful area.

Trip to Baltimore July 2008

We recently took a trip to Baltimore to see my best friend Jenny and her boys (husband, Chris and Cole and the new baby). We normally head up a couple of times a year but had not been able to make it up yet this year. They welcomed a new baby boy, Rhys Alexander, in April and "Aunt Kelly" just had to get up to introduce herself!

We did the usual hanging out and just enjoying each other. The little ones, Grayson, Carter and Cole (their oldest, who is Carter's age) also enjoyed hanging out and already have what we think is the closest thing to sibling rivalry that we can think of.

We had a 4th of July cookout with another family that we have gotten to know in the Baltimore area, Heather and her belly (she is expecting a little boy in August), Mark and Sierra Lane. The Dads shot fireworks for the kiddos for about 2 minutes and it started raining. Needless to say, the kids were bummed but they quickly moved on to other activities.

We also ventured out into Washington DC for a day trip. We took all of the "littles" to the Natural History Museuam as well as to the Air and Space Museum. We rode the Metro into and home from DC which the boys enjoyed. Carter was a little afraid at first but he got used to it by the end of the trip in and was too tired to care on the way back.

As always, our trip to visit Jen and the family was fabulous and we miss them so much! They keep talking of moving "down south" and I am anxiously awaiting the day that I can visit without having to drive 9 hours to do so!
