The Weather

Are we (general we) ever satisfied with the weather? I spent winter complaining of the cold, annoyed with the ice covered roads and irritated with shoveling the snow. I dreamt of warm summer days. Apparently I needed to dream of lukewarm with a cool breeze spring days, as apparently we've gone from winter to the dead of summer in one fell swoop. Hot. Humid. Gross.

That said, we did have perfect weather last week for Arden's school field trip to Fenway Park. Grandma J and Pops were in town and joined us. I'm pretty sure Pops liked the trip as much, if not more, than the kid. In fact, she was pretty annoyed that there was no game that day.

Pictures are below....taking with my phone as our camera lens appears to have bitten the dust.

Before heading out...I considered dressing her in her Yankees gear...


She insisted on posing here...

We got to go on the field, this is the view from there

Arden listening to the tour guide while sitting up on the roof. The seat she is sitting in costs $120 and you have to win the lotto to have the 'opportunity' to pay a fortune to sit there.

After Fenway we hit up the mall for some shopping. Arden was clingy and tired, and hitched a ride on Pops. The next day we discovered an ear infection. At least she's consistent.

I found some other pictures on my phone...hula hooping at Canobie Lake.

Getting a backrub in between rides. This is right before she convinced Pops to go on the Haunted House ride at Canobie. She sure is a smooth talker.

On their last day here we took a trip to Northampton/Amherst. They'd never been, and we talk incessantly about that area being the place we dream of living.

Here she is on the UMass campus 'sharing' a cookie with Pops. And by sharing, I mean eating his cookie.

Cheese!

She's just so sassy these days.
