Vickie/Granmommy just came up for a visit from late Friday night through Monday afternoon. We had a wonderful visit. The best part was we managed to squeeze in a lot of fun and still have a really nice relaxing weekend. Granmommy's flight was already scheduled to get in pretty late, around 11 or so and it was delayed more than an hour, so she got to our house really late. She still managed to wake up bright and early the next morning when Mia came bouncing happily into her room to welcome her. We hung around the house saturday morning and then headed out for Mia's first soccer game of the spring season. Lennon had a great time crawling around on the field. He is loving being able to go outside now that the weather is finally getting nicer. Mia's team lost badly, but luckily the league doesn't really keep score. Giovanni was crying at the end of the game though because he didn't ever get a chance to score a goal. Mia comforted him and then we left for lunch. After lunch we went to the carnival that always comes to town this time of year right by our house. Mia had a blast! She loved the fun houses the most and the caterpillar roller coaster. It was so much fun to watch her face light up as she ran around and rode all the rides. Once home, we baked cookies and got ready for dinner. Oh yeah, it was our six year anniversary, too.
Sunday we went to church and then headed over to the Boston Aquarium. We had my friends membership card so we all got in for free which was a good thing cause it cost $20 per person to get in. We parked at Shelby's office and walked through the Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market area where there was the usual hubub. Clowns making balloons, rabbits in hats, street performers etc. At the aquarium Lennon liked looking at the shrimp the best and Mia got a big kick out of the sharks and worried about the over population of jelly fish in our oceans. On our walk back to the car Lennon decided he had waired long enough for his nap and just konked right out on the edge of his stroller. It was pretty adorable. Sunday night we rented Sinbad, a cartoon with the voices of Brad Pitt, Joseph Fiennes, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michelle Pfeiffer. It was great and Mia laughed her head off.
Monday Mia and Granmommy painted together and we made chocolate covered pretzels! Yummy! While Lennon napped we had the opportunity to play lots of Littlest Pet Shop with Mia. Her new favorite thing. We were all sad to see Granmommy go, but Mia cried her eyes out. She just wanted her to stay forever. She loves her family so much! We are all really looking forward to the wedding in Atlanta in July!
