Adventures Along the Thames

Brian had joined the London party, so that meant a few more hot spots – many along the Thames River. We even went on a cruise and took in the sites from the water (with more playground time, of course).

Olympic Aspirations

Colin got Olympic fever in London, that is in toy store playing and playground adventuring. On the most epic day of the trip, we visited two playgrounds and two toy stores. With no rest for the weary, we set out the next day for a visit in Olympic Park. For some reason, the Brits love…

Mother-Son Bonding Abroad

Nothing like a little international travel to test the family bond. But, luckily, the bond is as strong as ever as Megan and Colin headed to London a few days before Brian’s arrival. Our first 24 hours was quite an adventure at the Transport Museum and some high tea with tons of sweets. Colin was…

A Third “Couch” Celebration

A Tale of Two Weekends Part Two

So another weekend, another very different experience. This time, Megan and Brian headed to Atlantic City for some time kid-free with friends, while Colin was spoiled rotten by his grandparents. Who had the better weekend? A toss up for sure!             

A Tale of Two Weekends

A tale of two very different September weekends – one was spent low-key at home with the boys and the other was living it up in Chicago with the girls for a bachelorette weekend. Both were fun and exhausting in their own ways!

Party On, Excellent!

Colin got to sneak in another birthday party with his school friends before summer was over, celebrating AJ’s third. It was in an indoor play gym, so he could expend lots of energy (and of course fuel up for more play with cake!).

Colin’s First Camping Adventure

This was camping at its finest. Pool and sports by day, BBQ, smores and movies under the stars by night. Colin and his cousins made it the whole night outside, and can’t wait to do it again!

MV – Best of the Rest

The Vineyard has so many great things to do, that it was tough to fit it all in. We had a fair showing to keep us held over until next time! Thanks to our family for a great week!
