The canoe ride with Daddy (it was not as dark as it looks in the photograph):

We took a hiking trip a few weeks ago to Bradbury Mountain State Park. Noah had fun and even had the energy to visit the playground on the way out.

I think this was the end of a gleeful expression caused by finding an insect:

At the top of the (relatively small) mountain:

Having a snack:

At the playground before we left:

Here are some more pictures from the trip to Boston:

At the Children’s Museum:

Back at the hotel:

Here are some more pictures from this weekend. Noah took the tricycle outside a couple times today and did a good job riding it. Inclines are a problem, but he can get up using his feet instead of pedaling. He is very good rolling backwards.

Another picture of using the tire pump:

Pre-invasion bubble blowing:

Getting a pirate tattoo:

Softa visited this weekend so Noah was very busy. Here are some pictures from the weekend including the duck pond, the boardwalk, and two beaches.

And on the rides:

At a different beach on Monday:

Flying a kite with Mommy:

At a restaurant, on what appears to be a shoe-shine chair in the back:

Here are some pictures from our visit to the museum last weekend.

You can assume a “shhhhhhh” sound accompanied this:

Taking the groceries for a ride on the tractor:

Here are some recent pictures.

I think there was a surprise turtle inside the container:

Outside Fenway Park:

Wearing Mommy’s boots:

Going through Daddy’s change:

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks: Noah skipping stones, playing hockey, and making Jell-O.
