Life is Good!

Posted by Becky  Published in Uncategorized

Today Keith and Megan invited us to join them in Boston Common for the Life Is Good festival.  The festival is a huge fund-raising event that benefits charities that create a lasting positive impact on children facing unfair challenges, including the trauma of violence and poverty.  There was live music and fun activities that were free all day long. They made money by selling food (like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or pumpkin pie) and tons of merchandise, where 100% of the money went to the Life is Good Kids Foundation.  Some of the exciting activities that were going on were Watermelon Seed Spitting, Whiffle Ball Home Run Derby, Bocce, Sack Races, Obstacle Courses, Hula Hooping, Speed Pitch, and much much more!  There was also a full kid section with face painting and art projects, we kept saying that we can’t wait for Noby to be a little older.  It’s going to be so much fun to do this stuff with him.

Happy Birthday Ichiro!!!

Posted by Becky  Published in Uncategorized

Today is Ichiro’s thirty-something birthday!   Even though he is in his thirties, he is still a BIG kid at heart.  The moment I heard about the show going on at the Garden I knew it would be right up Ichiro’s alley.  Last night Brenda came over to watch Noby while Ichiro and I went to the Garden to see Walking with Dinosaurs!  It was amazing!! The size of the dinosaurs were so impressive.  We had row 6 seats which just happened to be front row, they blocked the first 5 rows. Here are a few pictures from the show, but honestly they don’t do it justice!

Huxley, the paleontologist who guides us though the show.

T-Rex!!  You can kind of tell how big he is, look at Huxley in the back ground.

Here’s another one that shows his size.

Torosaurus, is a social creature who will happily graze on vegetation.

These little guys are Utahraptor, they are pack hunters with a 15 cm toe claws.

The Ornithocheirus, with a maximum wing span of 40 feet,  is the largest creature to ever have wings.

My favorite of the dinosaurs were the Brachiosaurus.   Here you see the mom looking after her baby.
