Summer Parties

June 30, 2013 · Diane Skarin

Today was a busy day of parties and driving.  We were away from our house for eleven hours and spent 4+ hours in the car!  Not always easy to do with two little ones but thankfully Evan and Logan are great in the car.  We started the day at the Aptima Summer Outing in Georgetown, MA.  We eased into the outing starting at the playground and in the bounce house.  It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed cooling off in the wading pool and spray park.  There was a smaller turnout of Aptimists than in years past but we still had a good time!

When it was just about nap time, we packed up and headed to RI to attend Bill & Kristie’s housewarming party in Cranston.  Both Bruce and I had already seen their new house but this made it “official”.  It is a lovely house for an amazing couple and we wish them many years of happiness in it!  Logan learned a new party trick and had fun with the hydrangea while Evan played with some of Bill’s old toys (GI Joe’s and army trucks), read stories with Emily and got to take home a special present…“The Key of Wonder!”  It is a large wooden key that Bill made in shop class in junior high school.  Evan loved it and sang about it all the way home!

It was an exhausting but really fun day and I am thankful for having two little ones who are rather easy going and love a good party!
