Monkeying around

After the overnight drive we took a much needed break to stretch our legs. We visited the new playground in Norton. Ronan enjoyed this set of monkey bars. He even taught himself to do a flip while hanging on upside down!

Side note: I attended kindergarten in the basement of the building in this picture. 

DVD to the rescue

Declan was getting restless so we popped in a Diego video. All is quiet.

45minutes to go.

Rain rain go away

With constant rain and the sun rising the boys are split on sleep/ wake activities.

It's actually much brighter out than the photo shows. 

4 hrs to go

We needed gas and he boys woke up o were having a pit stop at McDonalds.

Sleepy and cold.

Hour 3

First pit stop complete, quick change to jammies and a small snack.

Sleeping in the car requires some supplies, blankets, lovies and a new neck pillow.

Now we pray for the sandman to come.

See you in a few hours for another update. 

Sorry boys I don't know how to turn the flash off.

NB or bust - Hour 2

Still smiling! What can you play in the dark that's not a movie?

Clay is the toy of choice.  Declan refuses to accept darkness by wearing his sunnies. 

On the way

The 1 hour mark. All smiles.

Ronan finished his first book in under 45 minutes.

What's new?

Ronan started soccer for on the May long weekend. This is a photo of him in his soccer outfit! What a handsome boy.

Daddy and Ronan on Father's Day. "Nice tie"

The school year ended with a spring concert. This is Ronan entering the gym for his concert. He saw us straight away even though we were in the back row!

Here's a clip of Ronan's concert. They performed 4 songs, 2 in english and 2 in french. They are looking off to the right to see the projector with the words and actions.
