Finding the Forseters: Belated Mother's Day Weekend Update

Where does the time go?? Grandpa, GG, Aunt Ellie, and almost-Uncle Donny came up to Boston for Mother's Day weekend. The weather was downright spectacular and we took advantage! We drove to a HUGE garden store (5+ acres) in one of the towns we have been house hunting and Finley was pleasantly surprised to find that this garden store had more than just plants--after playing in the toy store part with all the trains and vehicles, he came across a koi pond with a neat little bridge over it.

He eagerly invited Grandpa over to check out the fish with him.

Next stop was a HUGE playground that Finley adores. After climbing all over the structures and in and out of the big fire truck, he hit the sandbox.

After lunch out and a nice nap, Finley was excited to see Dan launch the old-school water rocketship that we picked up in a "Free" pile at a yard sale that morning. Here's Finley carrying down the directions to Dan.

Then, he retreated up to the porch to watch from a safe distance.

(Finley has LOVED watching this short little video since he adores GG's laugh!)

Then, there was much discussion between the men about what went wrong.

Second launch attempt:

On Saturday night, the younger adults went out to dinner in Cambridge while Finley got some QT with his grandparents who took him to a nearby playground, fed him dinner, and tucked him into bed for a good night's sleep. Happy Mother's Day to me for all of that!!

On Sunday, Mother's Day, Aunt Ellie made some delicious challah french toast for all of us (no small task!) and then we headed off to Castle Island. We walked around the little bay before taking a break in the sand. Despite the recent warm weather, the warm was icy so only Finley, Dan and I dared put our toes in. Finley had fun digging and watching all the airplanes coming into Logan.
