Gramby & Su-su Hold Down the Fort

At the end of May, Brec and I traveled up to Boston and Cape Cod five days to celebrate the wedding of Anna and Ahmed and visit old friends from our Cambridge days. Gramby & Su-su generously agreed to come down to our house and stay with the children since Clara was in her last few weeks of first grade. We left Thursday afternoon after school.

First night at dinner and everyone made it to the table.

A little time in the back yard after dinner. Meghan rides the roller coaster backwards.

Fresh from the bath party in Meghan's room. Looks like someone is trying on Su-su's glasses.

Friday morning Jack takes some pictures with his camera in the backyard.

A trip down to the park is never complete without a hop on the hugie mama rock.

Twisty slide fun.

Swinging with Su-su.

Smiles on the slide.

Nap? who needs a nap?

Friday night was the school's Spring Fling! Jack goes down the slide.

Clara goes down the slide.

Saturday was another pretty day with lots of time to play in the back yard. Clara plays Harry Potter with her broomstick.

Jack sings in the treehouse. (Gramby captures some classic footage in this one)

A little clock art before bed.


Sunday trip to Pullen Park.

Carousel time.

Train ride!

Not sure what is going on here, but for some reason Clara has a parrot on her head.

Meghan looks on as Jack, Clara, and Gramby ride the paddle boats.



Meghan takes a turn on the tortoise.

Back on the train, this time with Grambles.


Bathtime bubble fun.


Clara makes some music after dinner.

Monday meant back to school for Clara, but this was Meghan & Jack's first week of summer vacation. Meghan gave Gramby a run for his money on the swing.

Last but not least, a welcome home with birthday cards. Thanks Gramby & Su-su for keeping the kids and making sure they had tons of fun in our absence.
