Gabe made it home from Nashville Saturday and we made it home in time to pick him up at the airport. The best part was that he then had Sunday and Monday off. Sunday we had a fantastic time relaxing, playing at home and riding bikes. We got Ben a new tricycle that he will actually be able to pedal and (more importantly) we will be able to steer. It was great to have all three boys on bikes riding around the neighborhood... now if we can only get Noah to take off the training wheels... after one trip he told us firmly that he wasn't ready yet.... maybe in a few more weeks;)
Monday I tried to convince Gabe to take a road trip to the aquarium in Boston to which he refused because he thought it would be too crazy with the marathon happening.... I thought otherwise, but well played Gabe. Monday morning we took the kids to the Bounce Zone in Saco and they wore themselves out jumping and running from place to place. Afterwards we had lunch and explored Higgins beach for a bit..... it is still way too cold for outdoor stuff that lasts longer than 10 minutes...... where is spring???? Audrey only spent about 60 seconds out on the beach, but it was long enough to take her picture as documentation of her first trip to the beach. True to form the boys could have cared less what the temperature was and splashed in the water and played in the mud/sand... luckily I had packed a change of clothes for everyone.... I have learned something over the past 6 years;) We rounded out the afternoon with more bike riding and trying to keep track of the events in Boston without the kids seeing the tv or hearing what was happening... so heartbreaking!
