What a visit we had. We got to see all our family and friends. I thought a month was more than enough time to visit with everyone more than once but it was still crazy trying to plan visits with everyone but in the end we managed it.
Upon arriving we hung out with my mom and dad then the next day we were off to visit Chris, Larry and the kids. Taylor and Ethan were so excited to see their cousins again. They all fought over who would get to hold or feed Drew. He was so spoiled.

I met up with Melissa and Mary and all their girls and we went strawberry picking at Tougas Farm. The girls ate more than they put in their basket. We made homemade strawberry margaritas with our fresh berries. YUM!



We went camping in Wells Beach, ME with my parents for the 4th of July. The kids got to roast marshmallow's and light sparklers. The 1st two of the four days it rained but the last two were beautiful and we actually made it to the beach. The water was 56 degree's but the kids were in it all day. I stuck my feet in for a second and they went numb so how the kids did it is crazy! Jessica, Val, Chris, Larry and the kids all made it in for a night to we had a really nice dinner at Lord's Seafood. I definitely go my seafood fix while away.


Christine and her family drove in from Canada to visit with me. I was so excited to see her since it had been two years since we had seen each other. Her girls have gotten so big and are the cutest little things.
Me and a group of friends did make it out for dinner and a fun night out. We went to Roma's Bar and Grill which is a BYOB so we all brought a bottle of wine then headed to the Banner Bar to hang out. What a great night out. I miss those good times but I was exhausted from the late night out and then getting up early with Drew. I'm too old for those late nights.

We got to celebrate Taylor's 10th birthday with her. It was at the old Skylite Roller Skating rink. Wow, so many old memories there. I actually got up on skates again and after awhile it all came back to me. What fun. The girls were getting the knack of it too.
Our little boy Drew was Christened while we were in MA. Jessica and my dad are his godparents. He was so good and loved when the holy water was poured over his head. We had a big cookout at my parents house afterwards and many friends were able to make it.


Another fun thing I did while visiting was go horse back riding with Sandy. Wow, we have not done that in years and I forgot how sore I would be for days afterwards. Sandy, remember horseback riding on the beach in Brooklyn? That was the best yet.
So aside from the two weeks of rain Massachusetts got while we were there visiting the trip was so much fun and I am glad we were able to stay for as long as we did. I miss everyone already and can't wait to see them again.
