Play Ball

Tyler has started a summer league of T-ball. It's basically organized chaos. I think he likes it ok but really I think he'd rather be playing at the playground.

Life's a Beach

I finally finished our family pictures I took while we were on the Cape. I'll post a few of my favorites here but if you'd like to see the whole slideshow you can go to my website http://www.mqnphotography.com/ and under client viewing put in the password "michele". Enjoy!

Cape Cod

We finally did a little 3 day stay on Cape Cod. We stayed in South Yarmouth at a place that had a private beach and two pools plus a kiddie pool. You wouldn't guess by the pictures but we were probably on the beach a total of 10 minutes the whole stay. The kids only wanted to be at the pool, never mind that they can go to a pool anytime they want. Anyway I attempted to take our family pictures while we were there too but you'll have to keep your eyes out for those on Facebook in two weeks or an e-mail with the password for the slide show. Anyway here are a couple snapshots from our little vacay. We obviously had fun and were tuckered out as you can see from Kendall falling asleep mid-snack intake. She couldn't even be bothered to take her hand out of the Cheetos bag.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Today we went to the Futures at Fenway which is basically a double hitter of two minor teams in Boston. The kids didn't care that is wasn't the Red Sox. We had fabulous seats (about 10 rows up from the 3rd base line and probablyonly 5 from the dugout). It was a little hot at first. We had hot dogs and ice cream and watched one of the baseball players propose to his girlfriend on the large jumbo tron! That's right. I didn't think that ever really happened but sure enough it was a well thought out plan. She was answering trivia and when they said you get to pick prize A or B, she picked A and on the screen it said "Loula, will you marry me" I was like OMG, how cheesy, then I looked down and saw the baseball player on his knees with a ring and it was sort of cute. Good for them. Anyway then the rain came and we ran to our car like no tomorrow. It was like running through a shower it was raining so hard. But we had a good time and I was glad to finally see Fenway.

Went on a Berry (blue that is) Hunt.

Today we went and did a little blueberry picking at Tougas Farm. It was so flipping hot, now I don't mind the heat at all but the humidity is pretty bad. Anyway I can't believe how great the kids did, they are great little laborers! We picked 3lbs together. Which means we each picked 1 lb each. Of course we all probably ate just as much. I think every picture Kendall has some berries in her mouth. I was just as guilty though too. There is nothing like sweet fruit off the tree. YUM! I wonder how long it will take us to eat them all, probably not long.

Boston on the 4th

Well we didn't make it to the fireworks in Boston because they started so late but we had fun exploring the city for a little bit with the kids during the day. They love the city and I took the opportunity to do a little "urban photo shoot". Most of these were all done in a fun "soft urban" process.
