Week in Boston, 2013

After our aloha trip, we had a few days rest at home in Pacific Standard Time and then headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Boston. We did a lot in a week, even with Milo and Matt both coming down with a stomach bug at different times while we were there. Auntie and Reiss also came too, making things extra fun. As usual, G & G had the house stocked with kid toys and familiar food making our stay feel like home in many ways. The sad part to report is that it seems I lost my point and shoot camera on the airplane coming home. So the highlights here are all iphone pics. Thankfully we still had quite a bunch of memories captured that way, but none with Grandma. :(

Make way for ducklings!

The humidity did cute things to Milo's hair

Spinning dresses (made by Tita) are the best

Boys heading swimming at Breakheart Reservation. Poor, sweet Milo still had a stomach bug this day but we thought he was better. Little kids are so different than grown ups when they are sick. He was a little cranky but still playing and seemed content. Until later that night when he puked again. Then we felt really bad we had dragged him out in the heat to go swimming. 

Matt being reunited with his Cabbage Patch Kid, Mikey. You could feel the love in the room as Matt dressed him in his outfit and put on his shoes. Later, Auntie and I had almost as much fun playing with her old Barbies.

At the Discovery Musuem in Acton, MA. We had a junior Lasky adventure here on our last day. The museum is split up between older and younger activities so for much of the day Matt and I tagged teamed it and had a really fun time discovering things with our respective buddies.

And a little bit of Grandpa love, tickles, and giggles:
