September 2010

Our September trip to Boston.

Minute Man National Historic Park.



One of the old houses in the Historic Park.



North bridge



Minute Man statue



Louisa May Alcott's family home, the writer of Little Women. The story is loosely based on the life of her and her sisters. I love this book and hope Emma does so I made her go on the tour of the home with me while Ava and Kyle took a break in the car.



In the gift shop the girls and I bought them as Emma says it "a real tea set". They love it.



Site of the Boston Massacre.



Paul Rever's Home



Salem Massachusetts



The girls in one of many old grave yards. Living in the D.C. area I thought we had seen some old grave yards but nothing compares to the ones we saw on our trip.



Maine! We weren't there long but loved it.



The Lobster was so good and these lives ones were so cute.



That amazing rock you hear so much about in elementary school is not worth the drive. Here you go now you can say you have seen Plymouth rock, your reaction will be about the same.



This hat is 10 times more fun then the rock.



The end of september Emma started a ballet class and had a great time.

August 2010

Swim lessons!!! Emma was on her own but Ava and I did a mommy and me class.





Ava enjoyed the first 15 minutes of swim class then she turned purple each day because the water was so clod.



Emma did great. She jumped in, put her face under the water and floated alone in the water for her swim test.





A day trip to Harpers Ferry and then on to Antietam West Virginia.





Ava was fascinated by the soldiers.



Harpers Ferry was beautiful and the John Denver Song "Country Road" was played much of the trip. The Blue Ridge Mountains(or large hills depending on where you grew up) and the Shenandoah river are beautiful.





Antietam had a visitors center and monuments scattered around the large battle fields.



Ava's 2nd Birthday was little mermaid under the sea because of her love for all things Little Mermaid.





The kids loved the pool and made for easy entertainment.





She loved the mermaid party maybe as much as I loved planning it.



I made Ava and Emma mermaid tail swim suit cover ups. The girls loved them and they were no sew so super easy.
