We spent July Fourth in Old Lyme with the fam— we visited with Cherie, spent time at the beach, hit the carousel, had ice cream, and Jeff and I even got to spend a night out at my friend, Caroline’s wedding. Fiona had a great time with Mimi and Grampy!! Fi has taken to playing piano with her Grand-mere- she loves to hear “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and even fills in some notes and words. She also was in awe when she listened to Grand-mere play “more complicated” pieces.

The Franklin Park Zoo in Boston!
Our second visit to Boston of the summer— First we went to the aquarium, Fi was her spunky, curious self- tearing around the aquarium checking out all the sea life. Then after lunch, playtime at the park, and a ride on the T— Fi was a perfect angel and took a nap in her stroller while Jeff and I relaxed on a park bench in the Public Garden. When she woke up, we fed the ducks and rode on the Swan Boats. It was a beautiful and exhausting day!

riding the T- She made friends with many people with smiles, waves, and her trademark, “Hi, Hi, Hi!”
All this sightseeing makes a little one tired…

Beach Day at Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester. The weather was amazing and and the tide was perfect. It started low, and got even lower. Fi had fun digging in the sand, running and running on the large sandbar, and playing in the waves.
Parlee Farms- we visited the animal barn and went peach picking. I think my favorite part fo the day was that Fiona wore her sunglasses (and ridiculous pigtails) all morning- it was too cute! 
Well, there are the highlights… In addition to all these outings, we have spent so many fun days at home in the pool, sandbox, and hanging out. Fi has had many play dates with her friends Ava, Sadie (and new baby James!!!!!) and Jack.
FINALLY getting to hold Baby James- Liz’s new little boy

WOW–she gets around! Love her gazing at the monkey statue with her own monkey–funny! I love her at the piano and with Cherie, too. Another fabulous pictorial of our sweetie growing up….love Julie/Mom/Grand’mere
