Tristan's birthday cake




On Tristan birthday we went to Hollywood studios, formerly MGM. It was a great day we started the day with the Toy Story ride which was AWESOME. Then we saw a few shows, like The Little Mermaid, and Mickey's clubhouse. We went to dinner at The Wilderness Lodge, which was my favorite lodge at Disney. It was set up to look like a National Park. There we had Tristan's cake and he got to open his new Mr. Potato head kit. It was a great birthday.

Just playing around.





Here are the kids just playing around before bed.

Parlee Farms





We ventured out to Parlee farms in Tyngsboro on a saturday afternoon. The crowds suprised us, but I heard the farm was featured on Chronicle. The apple cider and donuts were very yummy and the goats were fun to feed.

Tristan's First Day of School





Tristan is officially growing up. He has started his first year of preschool at The Odyssey Day School. He goes twice per week and won't even go anywhere close to his classroom without his blanket. Here are the pics from his first day, as you can tell he is a little unsure of the whole thing.

Disney Day-1







Yes, Disney was that good that we are going one blog post/per day. Here we go: the kids did great on the plane down. Tristan watched a movie, and Avery slept almost the whole way. Our rooms were ready early, so we got to the Magic Kingdom pretty early and actually did a lot the first day. The lines were really short even in the afternoon,(Disney in September rules!) and the kids loooooved "Its a small world"

Castle Island

We headed over to Castle Island on a nice quiet Sunday morning. It was really nice. The late morning sun was actually a lot hotter than we expected but it wasn't that bad. A school of blue fish was passing by so the kids got to watch all the fishermen catching fish. Plus, they like all the planes flying by.
