Mystic Aquarium

ByKaren


This weekend we visited Mystic Aquarium. We received free press passes, I just have to blog about our trip. Easy enough considering it saved us over $100!! Yup you read that right, had we paid for all four of us it would of cost us over $100. $28 per adult and $20 per child 3 and over so we would of had to pay for Allison too. Plus they charged $3.00 to go on the Voyage adventure (Holly and I went) and then $3.00 each for us to feed the birds (we got 3 sticks of food). Total = $111 for 3 hours.

Steve would of never paid it, I said we would of because the girls enjoyed it, but I’m glad we didn’t! lol

I’d say the girls favorite part was feeding the birds. I will admit I really enjoyed it too…





And Allison loved the Sea Lion Show. She looks so grown up in this picture!



How cute is this! I’m so glad they like each other (most of the time) LOL


There must of been about a million frogs and tadpoles too! It was pretty cool. The girls loved trying to find them all. They blended in very well!

Goofy Kids and A Trip to New Hampshire

ByKaren

The girls and I took a trip up to New Hampshire for the day on Presidents day since there was no school.  It happened to be Winter Vacation for us, but not for little David.  But since it was a holiday, he had no school on Monday. The girls were very excited to see David and Joey as I was excited to see my best friend Jodi. The ride went well, we had no traffic and the girls enjoyed it too, which is always a plus.   However after driving for 2+ hours, we were all happy to arrive. We had lunch and then the kids played while the moms chit chatted.   They all get along so great.  When we are all together I sit and…

Essex Steam Train

ByKaren

We lived in southern RI/CT for about 12 years.  We’ve been parents for about 8 years and we have driven by the Essex Steam train hundreds of times but we never took the girls on the train until this Spring.  We knew we’d be moving further away and it would make it even more of a distance so we made sure we set aside some time while packing to take them. I’m glad we did – they loved it! It’s not the train to New York, which they really want to take with Mommy some day, but it was still a nice, fun train ride. It reminded me of when I was in 6th grade.  Our end of the year treat was a ride on…

Halloween Bowling Party

ByKaren

I went for my bi-annual scrapbook weekend with Jodi today, even though Steve didn’t seem to pleased that I still went.  I just know that if I put it off any longer, it’ll never happen this fall and I really need the weekend away and with my bff Jodi.  He’ll be fine because my parents will be around to check on them and even cook dinner all weekend. The girls were invited to a bowling Halloween party so my mom took them.    I asked her to send me pictures because I felt bad I wouldn’t see them all dressed up.   Holly is wearing her Halloween costume for this year, but Allison is wearing something different, and I love what she has on! Don’t they look…

Making Pizza With Nonnie

ByKaren

My mother is a great cook.  And I’m not just saying this because she reads my blog.  She really is a great cook!  The girls think so too though most times if you ask Allison who is the best cook she will say “Mommy!” and then “Nonnie!”.   I know I’m not a better cook than my mother, but I’m happy to hear I’m Allison’s favorite cook! One thing she makes that is really yummy is her pizza!  And she makes it every Friday.  It’s funny because my aunt, her sister, used to make pizza all the time and it was awesome.   My mother never made it but probably because her sister did.  When my aunt died, I thought I’d never have her pizza again.  But…

Day One of Spring Break School Vacation {Shopping}

ByKaren

  We are on school vacation this week and I promised the girls we’d do at least one fun thing a day but I do still have to work.  They love going to the mall, well Holly does (Allison prefers to not walk around too much) and they had some Easter money burning a hole in their pockets so we had to go spend it! Plus I needed to go to the Cox Cable store in the mall so it worked out well. But first we had lunch with my dear friend Luann and her daughter who happened to be in the area today.  I was so happy she called me because she hasn’t seen the girls in a long time because we usually get…

Allison The Snow Princess

ByKaren

Allison still loves Dora.  She doesn’t watch the show too much, but she loves Dora’s books.  She has a pile of them sitting in her bed that she reads to Eeka at night.  She knows most of the stories herself now after hearing them so much.  I love listening to her ‘read’ the stories because she is right on with so many of the details. Today we were in Job Lot and we went by the kids book aisle.  I noticed some Dora books and went through them all to see what she had and didn’t have.  We ended up getting 6 more but they were only $1.00 each so why not! Needless to say, she’s excited to read to Eeka tonight. So what does…
