He says the cutest things

Luke woke up with a fever on Wednesday so we kept him home from school. When he came down for breakfast in the morning I asked him how he was feeling (trying to check if his ears were bothering him.) He replied: "um, happy!"

Our Summer Vacation 2010

We had a great, busy and exhausting summer vacation. We started in Ocean City, NJ for a bit of beach time. (I can't make it an entire year without a visit to the beach!) This was a nice beach for kids. Our hotel was within walking distance, there is a great boardwalk with restaurants, ice cream and even an amusement park. Both boys loved the ocean and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Next stop was Philadelphia. This is a great town with kids. We visited the Children's Museum, they could have spent the entire time playing in the construction section.

We ran the Rocky steps up the Museum of Art,

took our picture with the phanatic,

checked out the Liberty Bell, went to the amazing Science Center (with a planetarium), Natural History Museum,

the Aquarium

rode the tour bus, and ended up at Longwood Gardens in Deleware. We stayed at a hotel in Philly that had a pool on the roof, so we had a nice energy reliever at the end of each day. Hunter is incredibly interested in dinosaurs, space, science, and sharks, so this vacation really kept him interested the entire time. Can't wait for next year!

Hunter's 5th Birthday

Can you believe my baby is 5? This year we celebrated his birthday at a local rec center pool. All the kids had a blast and hopefully were tired out when we sent them home.

Look at this precious face, couldn't you just eat it up?
