Summer wrap up

It's been a busy couple weeks here. We're seeing how much fun we can fit into these last fleeting days of summer. We've celebrated several anniversaries; our wedding, my birthday and David's birthday, just in the last two weeks. Yesterday we had David's party and he had an absolute blast with friends and family. He slept very well after a day of outdoor play, food, cake and lots of humidity. The rain clouds have finally graced us with their presence and we are enjoying a good soaking here after 3+ weeks with nothing but sun. My plants and grass thank you.

Here is a pic from our most recent excursion to see the Fisher Cats, which is Manchester's minor league team. We got special "suite" tickets through work and enjoyed the winning game with a great view. The kids, however, were far more interested in the little room that came complete with a couch, mini fridge, free popcorn and tv which was airing a Red Sox game. Sofia especially enjoyed that and was content to lie on the couch and watch the game on tv rather than the one right outside the door in the stadium. Oh well. As you can see the mascot paid us a little visit, but David was too wrapped up in other things to be bothered. He clearly shares my love of costumed characters.

We also hit the Hopkinton State Fair and saw lots of cows, goats, pigs and fried dough. There was probably some fried cow, goat and pig in the mix as well there. We went through a lot of hand sanitizer.

We've got some vacation coming up here, so there are plenty of adventures yet to be had, I'm sure. Until then, I'm kicking back with some much needed coffee and maybe even some peanut butter and chocolate truffles- thanks, Mom!

Have a great week everyone!
