Apple picking and the Chowda Fest

Since we are going to be busy for the next couple of weekends, we had to get our apple picking in early.  Although it was earlier than usual it was still September. You would never know it but it was SO HOT!!  You can see we all had shorts and t-shirts on, but you can't see that we were still sweating.  Regardless of the weather, we still had a great time.   It helps that we are now professional apple pickers with the kids.  We went to Russell Orchards and brought the wagon so we could see it all.  We picked 2 bags of apples even though the kids (as usual) ate more than they picked.  After apple picking we took the hay ride and saw all of the farm animals they had.  But my favorite part will always be the cider and donuts! 
Since we were in Ipswich, we hit the Chowda Fest after apple picking.  It was along the riverwalk and although HOT out, we had so much fun.  They had a ton of games and prizes for the kids and delicious clam chowder for the adults. 
After such a busy day, the kids fell right to sleep in the car.  We took advantage of this time to check out some houses in Ispwich.  The houses were huge and gorgeous and the town is adorable, but I think too far from Boston from us.  Keep looking.....

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
