Mystic Aquarium

We met Julie and fam at Mystic Aquarium. It was great seeing all the kids and they were so sweet with Madeline!

Making sure she was okay at all times!

In the penguin cave.

One of the highlights of the trip was the beluga whale. At one point, he stopped in front of all 6 of the children and started making this face. The more the kids shrieked with glee, the more he made this face. Much guilt was had by Julie and I when we were told by the attendant there that the children were in fact agitating the poor creature, and that they should back up from the glass. Turns out, he was trying to chomp their heads off....

We also went into this bird exhibit where the kids got to feed all sorts of birds. Julie "caught" a few of them on her stick.

Trip to Children's Museum

We met Auntie Summer, Uncle Mike, and Elliot at a children's museum for the day and it a good time was had...

Making shadows.

Touching a snake!

El being a turtle.

Blueberry picking

We headed out to March Farm and blueberry picked (note to self: blueberry picking takes forever!), and then Madeline got to play on their fun playscape.

Sprinkler with Gramps and first haircut

Grandpa and Grandma came for a visit and she played in the sprinkler with Gramps for a while.

She picked the yellow car and was really excited!

She approves!

Fingerpainting

We had a bunch of rainy days in CT...

Auntie Joy's wedding

We were fortunate to have the fun experience of going to Vermont for my cousin Joy's wedding. It was really fun seeing family and it was a beautiful wedding.

At the ceremony with Nanny. She almost made it all the way through...

Admiring the beautiful bride.

Blowing bubbles with her second cousins who can all the way up from South Carolina.

Blowing bubbles with the newlyweds the day after the wedding. They were up before noon, which was impressive!
