Fun with Grams

 

Nothing tastes better than freshly picked tomatoes from Grams’ garden!!  Well, maybe homemade sugar cookies that Grams and the kids made!!,

Fun with the Resig boys!

 

The Resig’s came up to spend the weekend with us last weekend.  For those of you who don’t know, Cara is my next door neighbor from growing up who married Joel, the best man from our wedding.  They have 2 boys who are close in age to our kids.  Whenever we are together we always have a great time.  It was so much fun watching Penny and William play, ride bikes, swim and hang out together.  Just like we did when we were younger!!  I hope that our kids will have great memories of each other just like us!!

West Hartford fun

We arrived to West Hartford yesterday, safe and sound. After a wonderful afternoon and evening yesterday, we woke up ready and refreshed to face the day. And what better way to start the day to fresh bagels and donuts, thanks Grams and Pa Tom!!

We then headed out to do some shopping and then went to Wolcott Park so the kids could play (us too!)

Then Grams and Penny made some beautiful barrettes like the ones Mommy wore when she was a little girl. Penny was excited to wear her new halloween outfit that Grams and Pa Tom got her! The barrettes are Penny’s school colors!

Botanical Gardens

On Tuesday after a wonderful lunch at Antico, best pizza I have ever had, we head to Atlanta Botanical Gardens. The gardens were beautiful, full of lush gorgeous plants, magical living sculptures, and they even had a childrens’ garden full of interesting plants, fountains, play equipment, and themed areas. To say Penny and Teddy had a blast would be an understatement. They were able to spend the afternoon running around in a beautiful setting, even got to play in a brief but strong summer shower. It was an enchanting day for all!
