Has it really only been one week??

 Man!  It has been a full week of adventures!  This was Dinosaur week so we went to the museum of science where there is a dinosaur exhibit.  It was great fun and the girls loved it.

These are just some other cute ones from the museum

Wednesday was busy busy busy, but an absolutely beautiful day.  In the morning we went for a "cool school field trip." to Drumlin Farms.  It's really just a farm where they have chickens, goats, cows, pigs, and hayrides.

After the farm we went straight to the school to pick up Carter and then we went straight to Ballet.  It really was just such a beautiful day that I couldn't help but pull out the camera.

Friday I went to the North End with a friend who also served in Italy.  It was a lot of fun- especially when we talked with a couple of Italian men from Napoli.  It was like music to my ears to hear them speaking...  ah. I'm so excited for the Rome temple groundbreaking that will be happening on the 23rd!!  That's in less than a week!

Saturday I worked because Jennie was out of town and we went to the Boston Book Festival.  Turns out it wasn't extremely child friendly, but they did have a few fun things. There were several little things that happened that made it more of an adventure, but we all survived.  If my friend Amy hadn't come I don't think we would have survived.  Some of the little things included, but were not limited to: Catie wasn't too thrilled when one of the characters from "Where the wild things are"  showed up.  The elevator at the train station wasn't working so the stroller was a bit of an issue. The guys at the library wouldn't let us bring in our balloons.  One of the train drivers was kind of rude and told us we were supposed to fold up the giant double stroller to get on the train.  It really was quite the adventure.

Saturday night there was a "birthday" party for a guy in my ward and they were playing "rock band"  It was so much fun... I think I'm ready to join a band!

Sunday was obviously church and then I went with Alexandra to Walden pond.  It was a beautiful drive and a fun 1.5 mile walk from where we had to park the car so we didn't have to pay.  

And last but not least, here are a few pictures from the ward camp out back in September.  This is far from all of them, but this is mine and Amy's kayaking adventure and a shot on the ropes course.
