Memorial Day Weekend

We had a very fun and busy Memorial Day Weekend!  It started Friday morning at Avery's school.  They put on a Memorial Day Celebration.  Each class sang a patriotic song. It was a great show and Avery did a great job.  And she and Sierra got to enjoy some ice pops after the show!

On both Saturday and Sunday, we had cookouts with our neighbors at our friends' houses.  We all had so much fun swimming, playing and hanging out with our friends and eating lots of yummy food.  We all had so much fun!

Then, on Monday we went into Boston to visit our friends Tamala and Ben.  We had a nice cookout with them and Tamala's parents, Deb and Tom, and Ben's mom Stephanie.  Tam and Ben live in The North End of Boston and they have a rooftop deck where we had our cookout.  It is so amazing overlooking the city!  After dinner, we walked down the street to some beautiful parks.  It was a great time!

I just had to share this picture because I think it is so cute.  A couple weeks ago we were walking around the neighborhood with some of our friends after school.   We decided to walk up to the farm up the road to see the cows.  Along the way, we picked up a few more kids for the walk.  This is a picture of all of the kids sitting on the fence "mooing" at the cows.  Sierra is 4th from the left and Avery is 4th from the right.

Sierra's Pond Walk

Last week, Mad Brook Academy had their annual Pond Walk.  Luckily, it turned out to be a beautiful day, which we haven't been able to say very much lately!  Sierra and all of her school friends had a great time, even though they only caught one frog.  The pond had a lot of slime in it so we saw lots of frogs but they were hiding in and amonst the slime so we couldn't catch them.  Sierra caught a huge crayfish and lots of kids caught bugs and one even caught a leech (yuck!).  It was a fun morning out at the pond!

 Ready to go!
