6 Year Anniversary!

Thanks to all our wonderful family and friends for the Happy Anniversary wishes!

Allan and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary on Sunday, June 14th. It's hard to believe that it has been 6 years since our wedding!! We had a lovely day with my mom, Aidan, Aunt Mary Ellen...we took a little road trip to Walpole, MA to visit my cousins, The Cianci's!! We had a lovely time with Jim, Beth, Mia and Mark and their two adorable kiddos....Evan and Izzy! Beth cooked us a delicious lunch and it was so good to catch up with them all!

We headed home (back to New Hampshire) and everyone watched Aidan so Allan and I could go see movie and grab a nice dinner in Portsmouth, NH.

It was a great Anniversary!!
XXXOOO

BOSTON Day Trip

And you thought only spiders barked!
The Children's Museum in Boston!


Aidan playing a really neat game at the Children's Museum where kids
were encouraged to be active (the game was played by stopping on colored squares
on the floor). It was really cool!
Aidan trying out his rock climbing skills!

Andrea and Aidan in on the Boardwalk in front of the Children's Museum.

to the New England Aquarium.

Aidan climbed this statue of Dolphins while we waited for our DUKW tour to start.


Aidan was really excited about going for a ride on the DUKW.


If you look closely you will see Aidan in the driver's seat under the supervision
of our tour guide "The Joker". He actually was driving while we toured the
Charles river.

Future DUKW tour guide in the making?

This is a picture of the side of a building located across from The Garden where the celtics play.
The trains arive and depart from North Station just below The Garden.
So I'm slacking a little bit on our Blog...I'll try to catch you all up. Allan, Aidan and I took a day trip into Boston on June 6th. We had a great time. We woke up and it was overcast so we scratched the beach off our list and decided to take the train ride into Boston. Aidan loved the train ride. We went to Boston Common, The Tadpole Park, Aidan rode the carousel ride in the park, we ventured over to The Children's Museum....which is a must see if you are ever in Boston with children, we had ice cream on the Boston Harbor, we went on the Boston Duck tours....when the duck turned into a boat and we were on the Charles River, our guide let Aidan drive the boat....HE LOVED THAT! If you are wondering why we spelled Duck DUKW please visit http://www.bostonducktours.com/duck_history_main.html for a little history lesson (it may come in handy in a game of trivia one day!) We did a lot of walking and sightseeing and Aidan got to ride on his first Subway, Bus, and Train! We got back to New Hampshire around midnight....we were completely exhausted but had a wonderful time in Boston. Such a great city....if you ever get a chance to go there, do it. We want to go again and stay longer!
