A visit to Boston and the Carlile's never disappoints. Suvi and Rain showed us around their new home in Brookline complete with a zip line in the backyard. The top picture is of Noah's turn. I have most of this on video and all three boys love watching themselves on it. On Saturday night the 4 big kids got to go to a Halloween kids night out at the local gymnastics facility, stay up WAY past bedtime (and mine to be honest) and have a sleepover on the floor. I am not sure if anything would have been more fun, they were pretty wound up from lots of candy and treats by the time they arrived home.
On Sunday we had grand plans to go to the zoo, but something crazy busy was going on there, so we headed to a park to play instead by the Museum of Science. As we should have known, these kids will have fun playing with each other anywhere. After playing for a while we went "duck boat hunting" to the spot where the duck boats enter the Charles River... they may have stayed here all day given the opportunity. Thank you Carlile family, we had a blast!
Sunday afternoon we drove back to Portland to stay at "Uncle Russel's hotel". Per usual, the pool was a huge hit and after Chipotle we were all asleep by 8pm I think. Gabe is on vacation this week, so we let Noah skip school on Monday while we played in Portland, went to the Children's museum and stocked up our freezer and pantry with lots of Trader Joe's and Whole Foods goodies. No trip would be complete without a trip to Freeport to redeem all those LL Bean gift cards we have been collecting. The bottom picture is of Audrey eating some ice cream... it was spitting snowflakes, but the kids hadn't forgotten that we had promised ice cream at some point in the weekend. It was a great family vacation and we always love an excuse to visit friends:)
