Almost Official

Tomorrow is our official closing day. We are fully prepared to sign our life away, in order to join the ranks of Home Ownership. Oh well... I really didn't need that "arm and leg" anyway.
Look close...because I plan on changing a lot. But dont be surprised if I dont have the money to change a light bulb.

Love ya

Coast to Coast

Its official... I have swam in the ocean on both sides of the country. Carson and I spent a wonderful day on the beach with a few of our new friends. We made the hour drive to the coast in Connecticut in about 3 hours... but it was my fault..oops. Good thing gas is really cheap :)

We also had the coolest opportunity to ride in a sail boat. This was a first for me. I had no idea how much effort it took to sail a boat. Lets just say you dont just put up the sail and float away.
I remember Carson telling me that we needed friends that owned a boat, so I think it is really funny that now he has found one

The water was way warm and fun to swim in. We even found two little jelly fish in the water, which I was informed was very unusual. The jelly fish season is in August. Carson had a little taste of the water and I thought he was going to vomit. He is just use to pool water.

Bike boy

Carson got a new bike... well, his first bike. He has out grown the tricycle (which we don't even have back for another 2 weeks). He has caught on fast, and seems to have gotten over the initial fear. I think it is a great bike for $30 on craigslist.

I am very excited to get my bike and ride with him around in our new neighborhood.

Memory Tag

Thanks Leisel... this sounds like fun!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Our Day off

Oh Stop... you know that is not our house! But I did want to show you where we are staying. This is the Demary's home, in Granby Massachusetts. They have been so very very very kind to us... in addition to letting us stay in their basement :) The Demary family is never home, they are all very busy people. So even though we live with 4 other people, Carson and I are almost always alone. BORING !!


Curtis finally had a day off! For some reason he wanted to wash the cars. I think he really just wanted to be outside for a little while. I dont think he has even seen the sunshine since the beginning of July. Working sucks.
I had to show you what Carson was doing while Curtis washed the cars. He started out helping... but then got distracted by the mud. He was having such a good time I didnt even attempt to stop him.
when I first tried to take this picture he was attempting to convince me that he wasnt all muddy. I just smiled and said "ok, what ever you say buddy".

Life in the Bay State

We are doing our best to get out and see the world. Well... maybe just Springfield. Carson and I signed up for a summer reading program at the local (Granby) library. Part of the program had a "Zoo day". We meet at the library, and the Zoo came to us. I have to say that it was pretty cool. I have never touched an armadillo before.
When I first went inside of this library I almost laughed out loud. It is soooo small. The whole library is a tiny little house with one room upstairs and one room downstairs. I even felt a little guilty when we left with a bag of books, I was sure that we had taken half the books home with us.
This is Carson touching a snake. I was very proud of him for being willing to touch all the animals. Some of the kids refused to even look at the snake.
This is Forest Park. The park is huge! It has a Zoo, a swimming pool, rose gardens, tons of trails, a lake, squirrels the size of large cats, oh.. and a train. My only complaint is that it is expensive. This little day at the park cost me 20$. And of course... Carson loved it.
Here is my little "Super Carson". Ready for his train ride around the park. I think next time we will wait until Grandma is visiting, so she can experience the thrill of ridding the train. I think it would have been great fun if the max speed was above 2 miles/hour... :) Besides that, I think Carson watched the wheels in front of us through the whole ride.
