First of Gillian's birthday Parties for the year

Lily will turn 5 in a week, so while we were in Maine we had a little party for her with the cousins and aunties/uncles and mummi and papa. Well...not so little when your family is this big ;) It was going to be a tea party. Then it got so hot it became an iced tea and water gun fight party. She loved it!

Sunshine and water gun fights

It was sunny, it was 80+ degrees out, and there were a mess of cousins around. It must be time for a squirt gun fight (and bubbles)

Visiting Maine

We took a trip to Maine to have a celebration of Life in honor of Luke's grandmother who passed away several weeks ago. For the kids, who were not much connected to her (she had Alzheimer's the last bunch of years) the weekend was more about seeing their cousins and being in the great outdoors since there was SUNSHINE!

The little boys...

While we waited at the end of the parade route for the big kids, Ollie and Eliot played on the playground..

being cute

sad he didn't get to march

the allure of the playground wins him over

determined to keep up with the older kids' climbing skills!

he runs with determination! 

Baseball opening Day

Today was opening day for Watertown Baseball. Both Gillian (Instructional league) and Bruce (Booster coach pitch) got to participate in the parade and activities, (as did Luke, who gets to coach Bruce) Good times.

Modeling her Shirt, cap and glove pre-parade (that's 8am on a saturday)

they were led by a police officer on motorcycle and a fire truck, oh la la 

Gillian was very brave and walked without mom or dad, as daddy was with his team and mama had the little boys at the destination. She handled it like a pro.

happy parader

some of those Black shirts belong to the Giants, the team Bruce is on
