Papa's Spring 2011 Visit

We are so excited that Papa recently got to come visit us, but we sure missed Nana. Shelby's gig was while Papa was here, so we all packed into the van and went over to Bloc 11 Cafe in Somerville to watch and support him. It was a lot of fun. The kids all sat right in the front row and cheered him on. Lennon was especially excited to clap after every song.


Mia is so proud of her Daddy! She wants to go up on stage with him and perform and it probably won't be too long before she can.

Lennon was almost literally bouncing between his seat with the other kids and this stool next to Papa. Eventually, Papa moved because he was so nervous that Lennon was going to fall off the stool.


Lucky me, I had my sweet husband, two kids and my dad here with me on mother's day this year. It was awesome. They all let me sleep in while they went and bought fresh flowers to adorn the table along with my other gifts. Then after we all got dressed we went to my favorite brunch spot and had a wonderful meal complete with a lovely mimosa!

The kids colored and played and shared a huge plate of pancakes, sausage and fruit.

After breakfast we went to a carnival that always comes to town in the spring. They sell wrist bands for something like $10 for the kids and then just let the adults on the rides with the kids for free. It's so awesome. The kids always have the time of their lives and it was a beautiful day to be walking around in a nice park, where this carnival was.


One of the many crazy rides Mia would have had to do alone if it wasn't for awesome Papa. You really should click on this one to enlarge it to see their faces better.

Going through the Fun House

Lennon probably rode this roller coaster 10 times with various adults. It was called The Wacky Worm and as you can see from his face...

He is QUITE wacky indeed.

This ride looked super fun, but I knew I would definitely puke if I did it with her.
