Boston and Block

 After VA beach we had a week before Jeff came to join us in Rhode Island. We decided to go up to Boston for 2 days to see Aunt Tara and Marcy! They took us to a really cool playground that had this out of control spinner contraption. Sasha was really good at it!

 Whoa!! The whole world is spinning!

Then Teddy got on. He spun so fast that he immediately started screaming and had to be rescued!

 The next day we went to the Boston Museum of Science. I did my Ed.M project there so it was almost like coming home for me. We found out that Marcy would be totally squashed flat if the T-Rex's were still around.

 Aaaahhhhh! Save us Mom!! It was so good to see that they finally got rid of that old-school tail-dragging T-Rex. The new one is awesome and very scary. The old one now lives on outside the Museum so don't worry, you won't have to travel far if you miss her.

 The kids LOVED The musical stairs. Of course we loved them too and spent tons of time playing on them while we waited for Imax shows back in the day. We were kind of bigger kids but whatever....

 Sasha's favorite part of the Museum was the science station where she got to do bubble science. She blew a bubble inside a bubble, a square bubble and she even got to hold a bubble!

 Teddy's fav thing in the Museum was the kinetic energy sculpture with the balls. We literally had to go back and watch it 5 different times. Just like his Dad...

 Then it was time to head to Block Island so we had to say "good-bye" to Aunt Tara and Marcy. See you next time guys and thanks for having us!

 We met up with Uncle Timmy who promptly showed Teddy just what he would get if he gave him any lip on the ferry.

 Teddy and Uncle Timmy were reunited at last. They shared many bonding experiences not the least of which was guy yogert time in the morning.

 Our beach set-up. This was the only time all summer that we got to see Auntie Andreea, Luca, and Uncle Will. It was so good to see them!

 Timmy, who just started his own business, managed to get in a full working day including payroll for his crew all from the beach. Seriously you gotta love his style.

 And he still had time to play with his niece and nephews! Sasha got taught the hand slapping game...

 ...and got promptly schooled by her Uncle!

 Then she was off to boogie-board! All that practice in VA beach paid off in Block, and there were a few days where the waves were so big we were a bit afraid to take the board out.

 Then we buried Ted....

 And then Ted buried Sasha (which he quite enjoyed...)

 Then the boys took at nap.

 After about 1 hour plus of sleeping, it was almost 5pm. Andreea, Will and Luca were long gone and Tim, Sasha and I were getting hungry. Tim took Teddy for a beach drag to wake him up.

 Except it didn't work! He dragged him all over the beach and then up onto someone elses sandcastle and the kid was still out!

 We all met up and had a great dinner before heading back for a final Block Island sleep before leaving in the morning.

 Bye Uncle Will, Auntie Andreea and Luca! Maybe we'll catch up with you in Texas!

 The next morning we headed onto the ferry for our trip to the Mainland. We were sad to leave Block Island but so excited because Daddy was flying from South Korea to Rhode Island and we knew that we were going to pick him up that night!

Next time: More adventures in RI!
