Apple Picking with the Baps!

We recently spent the day with Auntie Chris, Uncle Dan and Baby Mae for our annual tradition of visiting Brooksby Farm for picking apples and choosing pumpkins.  It is one of our most fun Autumn traditions!

We were excited to see that Baby Mae is starting to practice walking!

Alice and Mae enjoyed checking out the animals:

As usual, Alice loved having a chance to hold Mae.  As usual, Mae was less excited about that than Alice was!

Alice especially loved picking the Apples.  She was so proud of the responsibility of carrying the bag.

She took every chance she could to sneak apples off the tree and bite into them right in the middle of the orchard!

She was excited to pick out her annual pumpkin!

We really enjoyed our visit to the Farm this year!  Here are the rest of the photos from our fun day.

Happy Wedding Day, Leah and Nicolas!

If you have been following this blog for a while, you might remember Leah, who used to work with Mommy at Lantern.  Well, today she got married!  We were so honored to be there to celebrate the big day with Leah and Nicolas.

Here are some great shots from the ceremony on one of the new parks in Downtown Boston:

Beautiful bride!:

Exchanging rings...

and a kiss!

Yay, married!

Everyone wrote Leah and Nicolas messages of advice and well wishes:

Leah surprised Nicholas with a video during the reception, revealing to him that she was surprising him with a honeymoon to Sri Lanka!

Glenn's Gratitude Gathering & Campground Weekend

Uncle Glenn recently threw a Labor Day party at the Campground and we had lots of fun celebrating with him.

Afterward, some of us went back to the camper for a campfire:

And that night, we had a rousing game of dominoes outside the camper:

Mayflower Triathlon

Uncle Eric came to MA over Labor Day weekend to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and vomit in the Atlantic ocean.

Eric and Scott ran the Mayflower sprint Triathlon on Saturday morning. The briney sea was cold and wavey as they jumped into the water. Both Eric and Scott had a tough go at the swim, but Eric drank a little more salt water.

They both finished the course though, with smiles on their faces and both deserved the post race nap back in the tent.

After waking up in time for dinner, we all enjoyed a roaring campfire and a Red Sox thumping under the stars.

Here are the rest of the photos from the triathlon!

Grammie and Grampie's Weekend in Salem!

Grammie and Grampie recently spent the weekend at Hotel Peterson in Salem, and we explored the sites in town as tourists along with them throughout their visit.  Uncle Dan, Auntie Chris and Baby Mae even came up for one afternoon to check out the tourist sites with us.

Here are Alice and Mae, spending some quality cousin time:

Mae is a fan of Bobo:

After a busy day of checking out the sites in Salem, Grampie and Alice read a story before bed...

and brushed their teeth!

We had so much fun exploring Salem with Grammie and Grampie.  We hope we will have a chance to do it again soon.  Here are some photos from their visit!
