Grandpa Bruce and Jill came to see us last weekend - we had a really nice visit and enjoyed some great sight seeing too! 
Sam loved spending time with his Grandpa Bruce! Here are the boys before we toured inside of the USS Constitution.
These pictures were taken before we got on the boat, inside the museum.
On the ship - a perfect escape for our little Sam!
In front of the ship with Grandpa Bruce and Jill :) What a fun day!
Sam showing Grandma Jane the seals at the New England Aquarium.
"Where did they go?" Sam always wondered what happened when the seals swam away. 
And they swam back! 
About to ride the carousel for the 1st time!
We were worried if Sam would let us take him off of his horsey!
You can see that Sam is VERY proud of himself :)
Sam found a fountain to play in!
He was shy for the first few mintues, but then ran right up to the water - he even managed not to get soaking wet, just a little damp :)
We decided to take a quick trip to Plymouth this weekend while Grandma Jane is visiting :) We walked around downtown Plymouth on Saturday - Sam loved looking at the boats in the harbor and we also stopped to check out Plymouth Rock. Before we left we made sure Grandma Jane had a hot bowl of New England Clam "Chowdah!" Here are some pictures of our day... 
There it is - Plymouth Rock.
Apple picking with Sam this year was a blast! He had so much fun picking up as many apples as his little hands would let him and throwing them into his apple bag :) LookOut Farm is great place to pick all kinds of delicious fruit - apples, peaches, strawberries, grapes, & asian pears. There is also a petting zoo, train rides, playgrouds, a bounce house and lots of other fun things for kids!
Determined to pick up as many apples as possible!
Open your eyes Sam - look how many apples you have!
Time to taste test!
Macnintosh apples are Sam's favorite!
Delicious!
Mommy & Sam :)
Looking for just the right apple to pick!
Sam spotted an airplane flying over the orchard.
Lots of space to run and play :)
Hanging out under the grape vines - they were so good!
Back on the train...time to go home!
Last weekend we brought Sam to the Boston Children's Museum - the three of us had so much fun!! His favorite exhibits were the ones that had a ball or cars. These are some pictures of our day...
We are so lucky to be close to family again! Sam loves spending time with his cousins, Hannah and Baby Murphy :)
Watching Max & Ruby (our favorite cartoon!) with Mommy during our weekend in Plymouth.
Helping Daddy stock the fridge with beer for our family BBQ.
Sam is under that sippy cup somewhere! He loved sitting with his cousin Paul and Baby Murphy.
They match!
