August, 2009

Despite the lack of posting, Sophie has actually had a very busy month. First, during the first weekend of August, everyone went on a DUKW tour ride. This would be a tour of Boston and a few portions of Cambridge to see the historical and touristy sites via an amphibious vehicle. We went by land and sea!

Here is Sophie driving the vehicle once it was in the Charles River.

Later that same week, we went to see Daddy play with his band, the Usual Suspects, during one of Kimball Farms cruise nights. This is when people come with their collectors' cars to show them off and they always have a live band.

Sophie loved the music and Mommy loved the ice cream (did I mention Kimball's farm is a dairy farm?).

Finally, this past week we did a half vacation and staycation. It was lots of fun. We spent the first half of the week in Ogunquit, Maine, where Sophie discovered a passion for playing in the turf, but not so much the surf and Mommy discovered the has an adult on-set "sensitivity" to lobster. This pretty much means Mommy can eat lobster and not die, but her stomach will get very mad at her later. Anyway, while in Ogunquit we enjoyed eating lots of yummy seafood other than lobster (after the first day):

We had our very first (virgin) daiquiri ever! It was apparently "BE-LICIOUS" (no that is not a typo, that is how she says delicious if something is really good):

We went on local trolley rides daily:

And, we went to the trolley museum:

We took lots of pics of the trolley museum because it was cool and Daddy particularly liked it. Mommy liked it too, but Daddy liked it better.

For the stay-cation part, we have mostly just been hanging around and going to local things, like the New England aquarium, Grandma and Grandpa's house, and Great Brook State farm. It was especially fun for Mommy who barely cooked all week!

This week Sophie will go back to daycare almost full-time as it is time for Mommy to go back to work. We are sure Sophie will have a great time with all her buddies.
