Saturday was trophy day and Sara got her first trophy. She was so proud.
Here she is with some of her team
Sunday I took the kids up to Massachusetts to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa.
On Tuesday we went to the beach for a playdate with old friends. I remember when Sara was 18 months old she hated getting dirty. Lily absolutely LOVED the sand. She was practically rolling in it.
After a day at the beach we went to have dinner with some friends we miss a lot.
Abz gave Sara a craft basket for her birthday and she's been playing with it non-stop ever since.
On Wednesday we took Abz and Narissa to the American Girl Place in Natick because they had never been...ok I'll be honest, it was because Sara's great-grandma loves that place and can't get enough. It was fun taking the girls who hadn't been before. I love watching their eyes light up as they enter doll Disney World.
Here's Lily feeding one of the dolls at lunch
Friday we got to see our cousins and go swimming
Here's Great Grandma showing the kids how to use a ribbon wand
Sara has been wanting lobster and clams for about a month and I kept telling her we would do it in Massachusetts with Grandpa because he loves clams and lobsters too. We finally got to do it on Friday.
Lily loves touching everything...here she is touching the lobster
Sara tentatively touched it and Matthew was totally grossed out.
After we cooked it all the feast began. Sara loved the clams
and the lobster
Matthew didn't care for the seafood, but he ate about 6 ears of corn
Lily's favorite part of the dinner was the ice cream sandwich
Saturday was Sean's Aunt Beth's birthday. She passed away in February, but would have been 32. We decided to put notes to Beth in balloons and let them go up to heaven so she could read them
Matthew was a little upset the balloons flew away
I love this picture of Sean's mom and grandma watching the balloons

Wow! Looks like you stayed busy and had lots of fun!!!
The balloon idea is perfect. I love the picture of them all floating up to heaven. When we were little we would send balloons to my g-pa. But this looks almost like "UP" the movie!
P.S Sara's clam face kills me! And...I really miss Nantasket beach. sigh. Wish we were there too!
i'd say you guys had too much fun while dad was out!
We had the best week ever, just like the good old days. Come back soon and often!
I love all the pictures, it sounds like you had a wonderful time with many great adventures!
