Mo Willems

One of our favorite Authors is Mo Willems.  The kids love the pigeon books as well as the Piggy and Gerald books.  Mo happened to be at the Eric Carle Museum.  So we took the hour trip to see the museum.  The kids made a bus, drew some pictures, made wire sculptures, and played with out door chalk.  We also saw some nice Mo Willems movies, including one that has yet to be released.  They were quite enjoyable.  Grandma bought Caitlin an umbrella and Jack a Duckling(pretend).  Mo also signed some books.

   

More fun in Connecticut

 We are having a lot of fun in Connecticut.  Jen flew in from South Carolina which is a very nice treat.  Jack enjoyed pretending the avocado pits where his eyes(he did not eat the avocado).  We went to the Imagination Museum, which was a great museum for the kids.  Lots of things to build with and other kid friendly activities, including surrounding the kids in a giant bubble. 

Trampolines

We had a wonderful day bounding on trampolines.  Grandma got into the act with a lot of bouncing.  I was exhausted after playing a game of dodge ball with the kids and Mom.

Connecticut

We are having a great time in Connecticut.  The kids played with Aunt Paulie and made some cool objects with play'do like stuff.  We had microwave smores after playing out in the sprinklers.  Of course life out here includes cocktails, so the kids have had a few kid friendly ones.

Slip and Slide

Uncle Chris gave the kids a slip and slide.  The kids had a blast sliding all over the place.  They had a little difficulty making it all the way down the slide, but they had a great time.

Fourth of July in Connecticut

We celebrated the fourth of July in Connecticut with Grandma and Albie.  It was a great concert with spectacular fire works.

Fathers Day

WE had a great Fathers Day.  I received sleeping bags for the kids.  We will use them on an upcoming camping trip in August.

Ladybugs

Jack received a ladybug home for his birthday.  He sent a card in and a week later the lady bugs arrived.  He and Caitlin took good care of the lady bugs.  After a couple of weeks the ladybugs were ready to be released.
