The Lipowski Family: June 2009

Minnesota Children's Museum

At the beginning of June, we went to Minneapolis for Hilary's (I babysat for Hilary when I lived there and she was 6) high school graduation party and the next morning went to the Minnesota Children's Museum. It was actually a nightmare getting there because 94E was closed. CLOSED. We didn't know that and ended up getting all turned around and then we weren't sure if the detour would take us past it and we'd completely miss it. Funny thing was 94 opened at that exit! How weird is that? Andrew had a ball and I forsee him having an even better time as he gets a little older. It was busy since this was the weekend that we got record lows and it was raining.

The bubble table was a hit!

As was the water table...

Delivering the mail to the Uniform Shop #234

Working the cash register at the supermarket.

We watch Clifford occassionally but I don't think Andrew knows who that big red dog is!

The fish near the pond play area.

Beantown

In early May, Steve & I took a long weekend to check out Boston. We had a really nice time- good sites, good eats & good weather. I did blog about Boston already on my other blog, Indigo Star Fairy, and most of the pictures are the same but there is a little better commentary... We did all the typical things that there are to do in Beantown- Fenway, Duck Tour, Boston Public Library, Boston Public Gardens (loved it!!), Freedom Trail, Newbury Street, USS Constitution, Harvard, Hah-vahd Square...

Trinity Church

Steve & I at Faneuil Hall in front of a statue of Samuel Adams. OMG, a picture of Steve & I and no Andrew in sight! In fact a whole post without Andrew...

The very cool old graves at one of the many cemeteries along the Freedom Trail. The artwork is kind of kitschy and very neat. Is that disrespectful to the dead that I think the artwork is 'kitschy'?

Samuel Adams grave. All the rocks on top are a Jewish tradition to show that you have paid your respects. Flowers die, stones don't.

Boston Public Gardens. Steve & I ended up in here 3 timesin 4 days- it was such a cool park! The tulips were (obviously) in bloom and there are over 9000 in the Gardens.

They look like they are glowing which I think is kind of cool!!

Fenway! Yay! Every baseball fan should get to Fenway. And, of course, Wrigley!

This was on the Harvard campus. Absolutely adorable! It made me smile. :)

Making Mother's Day Cards

I know it has been forever and theese should have been up 2 months ago but life gets crazy, you know? We have been so busy!! Andrew and I made cards for Mother's Day this year and they turned out so cute that I just had to share. I know all the lovely ladies who got them loved them.
