Two Little Boys: July 2012

York Zoo

Even though we'd just returned from Wells, Maine, we decided to take the boys to the York Zoo while Jason was home over the 4th of July holiday. The boys enjoyed feeding the goats and deer, but probably enjoyed the rides section of the park best of all. Good times!

4th Of July In Cohasset

Because Zach enjoyed Cohasset's Memorial Day Parade so much last month, we decided to take the boys to Hingham's 4th of July Parade this year. I hadn't been to the parade since I was in high school, and it didn't disappoint. It was a great parade, lasting about an hour! People threw candy to the kids and there were tons of floats and trucks. It was a hot, steamy morning, but we had a great time.

After the parade, we headed over to my parents' house for lunch and cake to celebrate Zach's birthday. It was a great end to our holiday.

4th Of July In Maine

We stayed overnight one night in Maine this year to celebrate the 4th of July with the Dawsons. We celebrated on the weekend prior to the 4th and stayed in a small condo in Wells. It was the boys' first time sleeping in the same bedroom together, in twin beds! Super, super cute. We had to lie down with each of them to get them to fall asleep. Gabe would have gone down just fine on his own, but Zach was wired from the new experience and gibber jabbering until we went in to calm him down.

The weather in Maine was fabulous, and we spent a lot of time at the beach. It was a great way to kick off the summer.
