Sea Creatures and Ice Cream
The kids and were rocking out to tunes today, courtesy of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which is a great web site to visit if your kids are curious about sea life. There are all sorts of live web cams you can visit with penguins, a living kelp forest and sharks, just to name a few. My kids love these, especially David who is now learning all about jellyfish. They have a CD you can buy, that has some cute songs about underwater life, including our household favorite "Sea Star". This reminded me about our "Cow Tunes" CD (Brent Holmes) that I had all but forgotten about. It has got many songs about ice cream and it reminds me of summer. I learned about that one via A Family Runs Through It blog. We now have the "Moosebeary Jam" one as well, which is very cute, but not quite as catchy as the former. Nothing beats songs about ice cream. Nothing, I say!! Which reminds me...our new home is located just down the street from a very popular ice cream shop. That's the real reason we bought it...

I've been reading right along, but don't always have time to post a comment. I didn't know the new house was going to be near an ice cream shop! Can't wait to visit!

Thanks, Abue! I've been meaning to write to you forever, but I seem to keep getting distracted...Can't wait to have you out to the house and for a sundae down the street!

I didn't know you found a house!! That's awesome! Hopefully in or near Nashua? So, which ice cream stand? Haywards? King Kone? The Big One? Kimballs?

I can't remember if I mentioned this already or not, but my wife is a zookeeper at Stone Zoo in Stoneham and loves giving behind the scenes tours to friends and their families, so if you guys ever want to come out, let me know.
Glad to hear you bought a new house! We finally just signed the P&S on our new condo... now we just have to wait a year for the construction to finish! :(

John- That's great about the condo!
Congrats! It will be worth it to wait for a brand new place and you can take all that time to pack! We could use a year ourselves...
David would absolutely FLIP if he got a behind the scenes tour at the zoo! I can't think of anything he would enjoy more. Both the kids just adore animals. We will have to get together as soon as the weather gets nice...I will be in touch soon!
