Hunter and Ella had so much fun feeding the ducks in Boston Garden.
Hunter pretended he was a duck and Ella fed him too. 
Then it was time for both kids to pretend they were ducks, they jumped in the fountain and ran around quacking as they got soaked. 
Ella was chasing Hunter and when she caught him they would hug until they toppled to the ground. Cousins are so much fun! 
Make way for these ducklings!
Ella returned from Arizona to find her cousins Hunter and new baby Chase were here visiting from California. Ella and Hunter had a great time together in person (they typically play dinosaurs few times a week via iChat) And we got to help Hunter celebrate his 4th birthday. 
Ella was so sweet to baby Chase 
I love this picture because I have a few old photo's of my sisters and me on these steps when we were young. 
It was chilly at the beach but that didn't stop our fun, or stop the kids from playing in the ocean. We found quite a few crabs, periwinkles, and even a starfish. Here the kids are with Nana looking at a crab she found. 
The wind was great for flying Ella's kite, she was even able to do it all by herself!
During the first week of June Greg and Ella traveled to Prescott, AZ to visit Mimi and Pubah. I unfortunately couldn't make it, my aunt passed away and I stayed home to be with family.

For Memorial Day weekend Ella and I joined our friends Christina, Ron and 6yr old Trino for a camping trip in NH. (Greg was off on a sailing trip with the guys from work.) Taking a 2 year old camping didn't scare me, taking a 2 year old on a 2 hour canoe trip- a bit frightening! But, she did great, and as always asking lots of questions "where we going?" "What we doing?" But my favorite statement of the weekend had to be "Christina's like a kangaroo" when asked why her answer was "(she said) her keys are in her pouch"
We've been working on a vegetable garden in our yard. Ella been a great help getting the soil ready and planting seeds. Here she is showing off our tomato seedlings from Verril farms where I took a gardening class.
