Spring had finally sprung by mid-April, and with it came the Touch a Truck event. While it took a while for C to warm up to the trucks (things like snacking and jumping off the curb were almost a little too much fun), it was an overall hit and a ton of fun with many…

Taking Flight Indoors
It was a rainy Saturday, so we opted for some reinforcements to secure a good night’s sleep – time at the trampoline park! We were lucky to have the Chins join us, as Colin was having none of the fun until he saw his buddies Josh and Andrew living it up. Then, we couldn’t get…
Treats, Not Tricks, at the Zoo
With more fall festivals than hours in the day, we needed to pick our fests wisely. We opted for live-action animals, combined with some trick-or-treating, at the Reston Zoo. It didn’t disappoint. From feeding the goats, sheep and birds, to checking out the camels, zebra and snakes, it was an action-packed morning!
Two is Terrific
Colin turned two on a beautiful fall day. We spent the morning snapping some photos among the foliage, and then celebrated the momentous day at Il Forno (aka Uncle Dave’s Pizza Hut). There was great food, mediocre singing for both Colin and his aunt Katie, and lightsaber battles outside. Colin deemed the day a definite…
The Force is strong in this one!
It is no secret that I am a geek for all things Star Wars. However, it was never anything I intended to push on Colin. He has a few Star Wars t-shirts, a couple books and stuffed characters…um, okay maybe I was hoping for him to be a fan. But, I didn’t dare think it…
Getting Some Air
As if visiting New England’s fair wasn’t enough, Colin was ready for more thrills during a weekend in CT. He got his fill of adventure enjoying an air show with his cousins Alex and Adam. Beautiful weather, hands-on with airplanes, pet rocks…what more could you ask for?!
The Big E!
The Big E is essentially six state fairs in one – all just 10 minutes away from lovely Suffield, CT. Not yet two years old, C was ready to conquer all the smells, sights, sounds and tastes possible. While the hundreds of sheep calling out was a bit much for one toddler to handle, overall,…
Final Summer Birthdays
Welcome to our 350th post! Since his first invite in March, we knew it would be a busy “season” for toddler birthdays. A few more second birthdays took place in August, which were fun and totally action-packed. Classmate Elsa’s party was at an indoor gym, and it was truly organized chaos. During the two-hour affair,…
August was a blur!
And just like that, August 2014 is in the books! After five straight weekends away from home, the Tuckers welcomed time in one place for most of the month. Fun included beating the heat in a new backyard pool, time with mini-friends celebrating the end of summer and even tailgating to support the first-place Nationals….
