Weekend in New England

It was time for Harper to meet our bestest Boston friends, the Leary Infantines. And it was definitely time for Luke to hang out with 4 of his favorite ladies - Lucia, Carmen, Auntie Fran, and Auntie Mer. We packed the car and headed north!

Saturday started out with some pancakes and PJs. Mmmmm. Look at how big "Baby Carmen" is now!

And Lucia played peek-a-boo with Harper. She was very good at this game and Harper loved, loved, LOVED it.

Auntie Fran led some story time
And then we went to the Boston Museum of Science (where it's fun to find out)

Here, Luke spins a helicopter engine thing?

Wasp engine!

Not finding out what his voice really sounds like...
...or what makes an ocean wave wave

...or what it's really like in space. But Lucia was good at showing Luke all the best stuff!


Meanwhile, Harper chilled out on Mom
Next time, I'm hoping for the dolphin show and starfish and walking like a penguin at the New England Aquarium!


When we got home, the younger siblings plotted their eventual revenge

Look at the mischief in those eyes...TROUBLE!

Carmen, not allowed outside without a sweatshirt, attempts a workaround (TROUBLE)

Sweatshirts donned, Uncle PJ/Daddy helped the kids plant some flowers in the backyard

And Harper hung out showing off her mad tummy-time skillz


More PJ Playtime on Sunday - they all took turns "cooking" each other. Here, they're making "Lucia Stew"

And "Luke Soup"
We're not sure with whom Luke is most enamored - Lucia or Auntie Fran (life of the party)
The three of them opened a "cafe" on the sofa. Again, check out Carmen, keeping her eye on the camera...


Finally, sadly, reluctantly, the car was packed and it was time to go back to Hoboken. I think Luke was tired.
Yay for friends!
