Super busy weekend

Well, we had another fun-filled weekend here. I have to admit...the weather has been crummy during the week a lot lately, but the past 2 weekends have been perfect. It's been like divine intervention. This weekend started out with us meeting our neighbors at the beach for dinner on Friday. I got off work, and we packed up the car, picked up some beer and pizzas and just hung out at the beach. It was great. Kaelyn had the best time too because there were 3 other kids (ages like 4-8) and they just thought she was the best thing since sliced bread...so they all kept eachother entertained. They were actually fighting over who got to sit next to Kaelyn when they ate. Saturday we went downtown Boston to see the tall ships. They were beautiful, but the crowds were kinda crazy & we probably would've had just as much fun just walking around downtown...but it was nice to have an excuse to go there. We stuck around all day to make it worth our while for the small fortune we had to pay for parking. Ridiculous. But a perfect, sunny, breezy, not-too-hot day overall. Today we went to a small zoo in the area - Kaelyn's first trip to the zoo. The weather was great and there was lots of shade, which we all appreciated. A wonderful weekend all around.

I think this was Kaelyn looking at the monkeys. This was by far the most excited expression we saw on her all day. I think she enjoyed the zoo, but wasn't quite as captivated as we had hoped.

All the kid does is eat.

Ok, so we see these white-nosed, I don't know what they are...animals,

and they were just behind this fence...

Kaelyn was fairly excited at first to see them, she thought they were ok...plus this rope was pretty exciting too...

But then they got a little closer to the fence and I noticed the closer they got to the fence the closer she got to me...

She didn't get upset or anything, but she wanted to make sure I was there to protect her.

It was soooo sweet. So we moved on.

Kaelyn is our little beer maid. These cans probably have no carbonation left to them. She was having so much fun taking them in and out of the box & stacking them up.

Barry said she actually hugged the stack of beer, but he couldn't stack the picture on time.

They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery...I don't think it applies in this case.

Here are some of the tall ships we saw Saturday. I think this was the biggest one.

I really enjoyed saying "Kruzenshtern". Say it, it's fun. I promise.

Ok, so this picture is better of me than of Kaelyn, but they are few and far between these days. Notice again, the constant eating. She's eating her "pirate booty"...thought it was appropriate for seeing the tall ships...aargh matey.

Her hat is out of control. There was live music playing on the boat we were next to here, and Kaelyn was gettin' her groove on. People were laughing because it was so cute.

This flag was so big, it could've draped our whole house and then some. It was really cool. You can't really get a feel for just how big it was here, but trust me, it was damn big.

We are training Kaelyn to get us a cold one.
