First some past pictures I haven’t blogged yet!

Here’s what happens when you give a yogurt to a 21 month old!

he really did have a spoon and knows how to use it I swear!

apparently that wasn’t fast enough either..

Here’s my babies at home after the recital being super silly!

We were lucky enough recently to get together with a few friends.. we had 10 kids and 3 moms and had a glorious time..in fact I didn’t even take more than this ONE picture..ME!!

Ok on to today.. my mom has been taking us on a field trip every other week..well since we are about to study the Revolutionary war we thought..Bennington Monument.it’s only an hour or so away.. off we went!

Upon driving up to it Ziah says “WOW mom.. you need to put BIG money in that money bank”..apparently she thought the long vertical windows were slots like on her bank..I am going to laugh about that one for YEARS!

We went up 200 feet to the observation deck.. what a view!

Here we are with the statue of John Stark(note the backpack Sadie..LOL):

As we rode thru Bennington we saw their Painted Bears.. they were so pretty!

After this we found a brochure for Santa’s Land

Being the adventurous people we are we thought..hey let’s go..we went once when Noah was about 2.5 amd had a great time. So we head across Vermont.. well it was a ways and we finally got there and guess what..it’s NOT OPEN.. oh I was so upset.. the kids were handling it better than I was..nothing on the brochure mentioned certain days of operation..grr. ( I went to the site and found out it’s open all week starting Monday @@).

So we headed back into Massachusetts and found a great little Italian place for lunch ..not far from Alison of Five Blessed Bows house. Once we ate we headed down the highway and decided we needed to do something fun. So we stopped at Look Park .

Declan was so happy.. he was just besides himself with “A PARK MOMMY”..lol..

First thing we did was the train ride:

Taejan was NOT happy..he really hated it ad I wish I had not brought him on..my poor baby just clung to me!

Next came the zoo.. the Goats loved the saltines! ( Robin do Gunko and Sarah??)..next time I am bring a whole pack of them instead of buying the little packs.lol

Lots of Zoo pictures..the kids loved it.. Taejan was fine until the train came by..then he freaked and hit my arms!

Next we got Ice cream!!

Then off to the playground!

Taejan likes to give Mommy a heart attack..but he made it up this fine.. his leg is no longer hindering him for any activities..it’s sooo nice!

He loves to swing

The bigger boys played dizzy tag..lol..they spin around then chase each other.. it is hysterical to watch!

We didn’t let them go in the splash pad simply because Noah was in pants and had nothing to change to..maybe next time. Luckily my kiddo’s have learned to take things like this in stride and we had no meltdowns! Of course they have also proven they have BIG mouths… while there I heard this from Declan” Mom that dad is just dumb”..why Declan?” because he’s not wearing a helmet!”..ok i agree with that kiddo. And while getting Ice Cream Jadziah ..who is rather loud says “Oh man look at that girl..she has on a hoochie mama bathing suit..GROSS”…LOL.. again..i agree.. i hate 2 piece swim suits on little girls..but I need to work on them being a slight bit more discreet ..LOL
