Three weeks in Massachusetts! Part One

The last three weeks of July we spent up in New England visiting Brian's family. We stayed overnight with Brian's sister, Autumn, and husband, Jeff.
Brian is a HUGE New England sports fan. Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics. Autumn and Jeff took us to Gillette Stadium to take a look around. Despite the monsoon that was occurring when we arrived (we got soaked!) we had a wonderful time exploring the grounds. There was an event happening that evening (New England Revolution vs Manchester United) so we left before the crowds got too big.

Instead of eating at the stadium we decided to eat closer to home. Our waitress gave BJ a HUGE dessert (on the house). We saved the cookie for later (for Mommy and Daddy, of course) and gave BJ all the rest. He loved it!

The next day we went to the zoo!

BJ and Daddy fed a deer from hand.

I cuddled with Brian's littlest sister, Amelia.

BJ and Grandpa Deschaine looked at the animals.

Deschaine Family Fun at the Zoo!

Later in the week we went and visited Grandpa and Grandma Deschaine at their house in CT. BJ and Amelia had a blast in the kiddie pool.

Although the pool was fun there was an even bigger body of water waiting just around the corner....

the lake!!!!

BJ also got to meet his Great Grandpa McCracken on this trip. We tried to take advantage of this special visit by taking a photo of Great Grandpa and the great grandkids. Well, the kids wouldn't cooperate without the parents so instead we took a picture of Great Grandpa, his grandchildren who are parents, and his great grandkids.

From left to right: Brian and BJ, Great Grandpa McCracken and Caroline (cousin Heather's youngest), Uncle Brad and Alexander, and Cousin Heather and Madison.

And finally, here is a cute picture of BJ running through the sprinkler. Such joy!
