Where the Wild Things Are

Lila: Liam, I'm bored.
Liam: Me too. What can we do?
Lila: Let's freak mom out.
Liam: That sounds like a fine plan, but how?
Lila: Let's dig out some old Halloween costumes and go about our day as usual.
Liam: Capital idea, my girl, simply capital!

Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend we embarked on the perfect fall journey. We went to Ellm's Farm, which had a pumpkin patch, a 'jumping pillow', and a little something called the "Moo Moo, Choo-Choo". Of course we had donuts and cider to wrap things up.

Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere

Here we are hanging out in Nanima's Jacuzzi.... we went a little overboard with the bubbles.

(Check out my spooky spider tattoo.)

Why do I let my sister do this to me?

Boston/Cambridge

Last week we took advantage of dad's nerd meeting at MIT (don't worry, he takes that as a compliment) and joined him in Cambridge...While he worked his mental wheels, we worked our stroller wheels and discovered Boston the old fashioned way, BDT (before duck tours). We saw the Boston Children's Museum, the Aquarium, Haaahvad, and the inside of more than one overcrowded subway car. All in all, quite the adventure. Enjoy the pictures here.

814 Mile Car Trip

We made it back in one piece everyone... and they said it couldn't be done. Last Wednesday we started out from Albany, stopped in Bethesda, MD, Washington, DC, Myrtle Beach, SC, Raleigh, NC, Richmond, VA, Schnecksville, PA, Bethelehem, PA and back to Albany again. All this in 6 days... that is serious fun... concentrated. Here are the pictures from our east coast adventure.

Conked out in the backseat... what moms and dads prefer.
