Labor Day Weekend

We have had such a great weekend! It started out with a little mini vacation. Thursday night we went out for a nice dinner and then we spent the night at a hotel in Sturbridge. The girls had a great time swimming in the indoor pool and hanging out in the hotel room. Then on Friday we went to The Ecotarium in Worcester. They have a small Children's Science Museum which the girls had fun exploring. We also went on a train ride which took us all around the Ecotarium and through a dark tunnel. It was pretty cool. There was also a lot of animal exhibits to see, including a polar bear. And we got to play on the playground too. It was a lot of fun!

Then on Saturday we went to our friend Lauren's birthday party where we got to play with lots of friends from the neighborhood and jump around in the jump house. What a blast! And, finally, Saturday night we went to The Spencer Fair with Gracie and Jack. We got to see more animals including cows, bunnies, goats, horses, and chickens. Sierra loves looking at all the animals! Avery and Gracie went on the merry go round, a tug boat ride, and a big slide together. And they played one of the carnival games and each won a lovely toy horn. Avery and Daddy rode an elephant and Avery and Mommy went on the ferris wheel. Of course, Avery spotted the cotton candy stand from the top of the ferris wheel, which was the perfect ending to a fun night at the fair.
