Butterflies and Boston

Life is good. This weekend we were visiting with the grandparents this weekend, since a work trip for Grace's job ended up being in Providence, RI. So, we decided to pack up the family and go up early to get in some time with the relatives :) We've had fun getting Ruby together with her cousin, and hanging with the family at large. We've been doing the circuit with trips to the petting zoo, the mcdonalds playland, playing with the baby pool in the backyard, wagon rides and lots of playtime. whew~ it's been exhausting in a good way :)

Here are some recent highlights...
 A few weeks ago we went to the Butterfly Show at the Krohn Conservatory with Auntie Mae on her birthday, it was fun!

Ruby had the best time running around in the crowds of people inside the actual butterfly room, although she was almost completely oblivious to the butterflies themselves.
the birthday photo with Auntie Mae!

Before our trip to Boston we got Ruby some new shades, they've had very mixed results... but, we managed to snap a shot of her enjoying them

We also went to a very cute and VERY smelly petting zoo nearby. I'm not sure we've decided whether the cuteness outweighed the smelliness, the giant emus were not cute, and they were the worst offenders.

There was a great trail for walking...
Ruby loved playing with Sydney in the baby pool, but wasn't sure about dipping her face in the water..

Ruby discovered the sliding doors while Gramps was grilling, and was super-excited when he waved back at her...



This is Ruby's idea of "smiling for the camera", we're working on that one...


And, Grams finally got her updated photo with the little ladies!
