i do believe this is sooo worth the drive to bruce museum in greenwich ...!

ok, really fast because it is already past midnight; we had the library pass for the Lutz children's museum in Manchester today so, of course it was completely free and the boys had an out of sight time... they were bananas for the most part... see pic. even i could not stop laughing when i took it!! i wonder if ANYONE is reading these posts... hmmm.

....this should be a great place for my raspberries...

today....

today was great fun for the boys. nw park in windsor is a such a wonderful spot with so much to offer very close by. ponds for exploring creatures like bullfrogs, tadpoles and turtles, misty sprinklers for the kids,a barn and fields full of cute animals, a playground, hiking trails, x-country ski trails in the winter, a sugar house, a picnic place and tons of trees...all free! richie was able to ride his bike everywhere but on the trails so we ditched it in the tall grass while we hiked. danny especially appreciated visiting with the animals and the young amphibians..
raspberries were good but we only picked 3 pints - they will be even better in a couple days.
swimming with a friend and then new training wheels courtesy of daddy when we arrived home around 9:30... love days like this...!


**free family saturday at the wadsworth tomorrow 10am-1.

hot days at home....

well, yesterday, we sort of laid low. the boys had a modified version of a bike rodeo after adding streamers to their handlebars and cardboard to their spokes. it was a hot day so the sprinklers were on and the baby pool was full- that $9 pool was THE best investment I have made for them by far!! later in the afternoon the boys worked TOGETHER on a great big traintrack that stretched through three rooms of the house.... a masterpiece to them...
off to the drive-ins last night to see toy story three... we have been waiting for a loooong time to see it. wednesday night is family night... only $18 per vehicle..woohoo!! bargain for a fam o' five.
.... fyi for Thursday: free shows at both manchester libraries 3:30 and 6:30 and free music in the eve @ evergreen walk.... I will continue to try to post free local kid-friendly stuff as i get better at this!
