Boston Trip

This week, mom and dad took Nick to Boston to visit grammy.

Nick was very happy when we arrived at the hotel.

This is the grammy and Nick reunion.  Nick did smile, but not for the camera.

On Tuesday we walked in the city at Faneuil Hall.

 Nick and dad relaxed on the grass.

Mom and Nick selfie.

 We also took a walk at a nature preserve.

And we ate at lots of restaurants.

Nick left grammy a message on the chalk board in her kitchen.

Grammy said, "how nice, I had a wonderful visit with you!"

Dining on the Porch

Now that summer is here, mom and Nick are eating breakfast and dinner on the porch.  We have a little table and we can sit out and see our garden and watch people go by.

Nick carries the tray of food out to the porch.

Here is Nick eating scrambled eggs on Sunday morning.

And here is Nick eating chicken and mac and cheese on Sunday night.

Mom said, "it's nice that we can eat out on the porch again!"

Trampoline Town

When mom cleaned out the shed in the spring, Nick's trampoline was in there.  Nick can't jump high on the trampoline in the house because he is too big and tall.  Mom put the trampoline on the porch, so Nick can go out and jump high in the air like he did when he was little!

Nick's Pool is Open!

For weeks, Nick has been reminding us that his pool is open in June.  This week daddy finally cleaned the pool and filled it with water and Nick had his first evening swim - and he was very happy!

Memorial Day Parade

Today is Memorial Day.  Every year Long Beach has a parade to honor the soldiers who served our country.  We are lucky that we live on the parade route, so we can walk outside our house to see the parade.

Some of the veterans walk in the parade, and some of them ride in cars. 

In this picture we can see them riding in the trolley.

We stand on the curb and wave to the people in the parade. 

This year it rained a lot in the morning and so the Middle School and High School bands did not march in the parade.  We really missed them this year!

Because it rained so much all of our outdoor chairs were too wet to sit on. 

Here is a picture of Nick and dad watching the parade from the back of our car. 

Nick visits the Fire House

Last week Nick went on a field trip with his class to the Fire House!

Nick sat in the driver seat of the big truck.

He tried on a fireman coat and hat.

Then he tried out the cot in the ambulance.

Here is Nick in front of the firetruck.

And the best part of all, spraying water with the firehose!

HorseAbility

On Friday, Nick went with his class on the annual trip to the HorseAbility Farm.  Nick has always loved this trip, he gets to pet, feed and ride horses.  These are some pictures from the visit this year.

Mom and Nick were looking at the pictures together, and then we went to their website to look at pictures and movies about the farm.  Mom said, "I have pictures of you when you were very little, on your first trip to that farm.  I am glad you still enjoy it."
