Hello! Does one BIG post make up for my lack of posts this past month?!? I hope so! We have been keeping so busy, enjoying the rest of summer - I haven't taken the time to blog. So, here are some highlights from the month!

We took advantage of our local library's museum pass, and took Alaina to the Children's Museum. We had so much fun! The featured exhibit was the Blue Man's Group exhibit from the Boston Children's Museum. The exhibit brought together science and art with the fun of music. Alaina has always liked music so, she definitely enjoyed making music here as well! We will have to go back again soon!

Learning about sound waves...

Speaking of learning...Alaina also learned a little something about patience this summer as she planted some flower seeds (as well as tomato seeds) and waited for them to grow. Her great grandparents sent the flower seeds to her around Valentines Day and they bloomed this past month. Andy and I grew tomatoes for the first time (in a topsy-turvy and 5 gallon buckets) and Alaina helped plant, water, and pick those as well! It's been a lot of fun and a great learning experience...for us all!

Oh..and we got the opportunity to see a Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus at the I-Wireless Center as well! It was quite an experience! Alaina's favorite entertainers were the horses and the stuntmen on the horses - we must have been too amused with Alaina's excitement to get any good pictures of them! Haha. Here are a few other pictures we did manage to take though.

The swinging acrobats were definitely another one of Alaina's favorites. I can only imagine what was going through her little mind as she watched this! She was quite impressed!

And most recently, I finally made salsa with some of the tomatoes we grew, watered, and picked! Yum...there is nothing like fresh salsa! Wish you all were here to enjoy it with me =).
