Spring 2010

Spring in New England lasts about three weeks. This year we were determined to take advantage of every nice weekend.

Caroline and Alana put on their space suits in Alana's rocket ship

We tried to go to Dim Sum on Mother's Day but half of Boston had the same idea. After a spectacular meltdown by Caroline we settled on Wendy's, where the Frosty turned everyone's frowns upside-down.

This year Dad made up a new rule that if you see an oriole you get to eat an Oreo. When the oriole spotting in the neighborhood failed to deliver we went to Mount Auburn cemetery. The result: Oreos all around!

With the girls now addicted to double-stuf's, we visited the Belmont Audubon sanctuary the next weekend. Erin spent the whole time climbing around the garden furniture.

At the Bishop school Bear Fair Caroline won the cake of her choice in one of the games. She chose the one with the most lollipops.

Erin knows that ducks say quack-quack and on Memorial Day we went downtown to the Public Garden to see the real ducklings

If we hadn't stopped her she would have walked straight into the pond to chase the ducks

Erin looks up to her big sister and Caroline simply ignores her
