What else can we do on a Saturday?


This past Saturday the fam went on a hike at the Blue Hills Reservation with our friends Mark, Nancy and their little girl Ruby. The sad thing is the pics are on my camera, and I can't find it!! So i'll post some later. The two girls seemed to enjoy their backpack rides while we all walked on some trails. Ruby was chatting up a storm and seemed to be trying to have a conversation with Ava, whom was mesmerized by her. Afterwards we headed back to JP to have a bbq and hang. Ava was her usual self, all over the place. Eating rocks and gravel, running on dangerous walls and scaling anything that was scalable. Its making me exhausted again just talking about it. Ruby on the other hand started taking some small cues from Ava but was easily reeled back in by her parents and her own self. I have to say that I think Ruby is one of the only kids Avas ages that I have seen her REALLY engaged with, like a lil buddy. They were laughing together, mimicking each other and just having a good ole time. Until Ava started stealing stuff out of Rubys hands.....like the bubble maker wand.



After the bbq, we headed home for a brief moment and then headed to Charlestown to see the Stroms and the Rings. Ava had a blast getting Liam into trouble with his parents, by showing bad behavior that Liam could copy. Ha ha! One of those moments was sitting on top of the kiddie piano(see below-thanks tashy). Ava is SO serious. Even with that bink. We WILL get a picture without that in her mouth someday. You can tell how innocent and sweet that Liam is, and Ava, what IS she thinking?
IN any event we got her in her jams there and drove home. It was a very busy and eventful day!!! Thanks to all for making it happen!
