Summer 2014, Part 1

How is the summer half over already? I have no idea, but we've managed to stay busy and have plenty of fun, even though time is passing faster than we'd like. Here's a bit of what we've been up to so far.

 

 

Releasing butterflies on our roofdeck one evening just before bed (hence the Star Wars pajamas):

 

Having friends over for a bbq and pool day on our deck one Sunday afternoon:

 

Grilling on a weeknight on the deck just the three of us (Marcus was already in bed):

 

Going to a micro-car event at a local auto museum in Brookline:

Watching "The Goonies" at a Free Friday Flick at the Hatch Shell (free funny putty giveaways):

 

Being active--swimming lessons at his daycamp (two weeks), tennis lessons at Harvard (a week for Marcus--he had a ball), bike riding from the Common home, playing in the Frog Pond, and playing softball (Robert):

 

Helping decorate for, volunteering at, and then going to Kidsweek at the church--"Weird Animals" theme, complete with a field trip to the Harvard Museum of Natural History on Thursday:

 

Eating out--Aunt Mary discovered Jo Jo Taipei and loves it (Samantha clearly does too):

 

Sleeping:

 

Eating ice cream and kofroyo of all kinds:

 

Celebrating Grandma Connie's birthday--Turkish food in Brookline and then JP Lick's cake back by the pond:

 

 

Spending two days in Gilford, New Hampshire with Robert's father and friend:

(above, getting ready to go, and having fun--or sleeping--in the car on the way up; below, stopping to buy maple syrup and, more importantly, two bags of made-fresh-while-we-waited in someone's laundry room, staring at their giant crated dog, maple cotton candy from Cormier Sugar House. The cotton candy was divine.)
