Playdate in Boston

We recently traveled to Boston for a much anticipated playdate with some dear ones who used to live down the street. 15 hours after leaving home, we arrived... in Providence. They picked us up from the airport in Providence and drove us back to Boston. Layover in Phili kinda slowed us down.

Next morning, we played in the park.





Springtime in New England is quite nice!



Oh, and of course, a college friend was also getting married at the Harbor. Check out these handsome boys!



These two were born the same week and get along so wonderfully well. It was such an enjoyable weekend with these little buddies.



Me: Ya'll excited for the cake?
Them: YES!
Me: How big of a slice of cake should we get?
Them:





What' more fun than a wedding? Picking up and fighting over the best sticks, of course! And then, um, throwing them in the harbor.



And of course, the bride. One of the very few images that I could catch of her. Too many people competing for her attention!



Next day was the best adventure of all: Boston Children' Museum!

Got to ride the "T"...



Got to hang on this sculpture as we walked through the financial district...



Got to climb this crazy structure...



Turns out they let big kids climb it too!



And many more awesome activities at the Children's Museum, including Bubbles (as in, making one that you can stand in):



Electronic dodgeball:





Video camera yourself with Arthur and Friends:





...rockwall climbing, power generation, Golfball Raceway Tracks, and topped off with a big black-and-white cookie from the place next door! Man, what a fun place. And what a great time with missed friends. Can't wait until this summer when Southwest Airlines starts flying directly to Boston!

Back Up

Playing catch up here. Seems like I've been gone for months. Here are the last several shoots that I never got a chance to post.

Spring has Sprung

With only days until baby was due, Mama was a true trooper, letting me photograph her in the rain!













My Cousin's a Trooper

DPS Trooper. He came over for dinner the day before graduation.







Local Orchestra plays "Imagine Nation" for Rev

A local orchestra, consisting of many the Noise Revival musicians, recently performed a piece that was inspired by my very own little Revolution. Did I mention that his dad composed the piece? So Rev chose his outfit and dressed himself for the event, and off we went...



This was the 27 piece orchestra playing "Imagine Nation."



Rev and Granny captured by the music. Notice his ear plugs. He insisted on wearing them the entire time. After the show, he tucked them in his tiny vest pockets... and they were promptly lost.



Thanks to Jessica for taking photos.
