reunited

some of our best friends, kristen and sophie left us for almost 3 weeks to go visit family in oregon. so, when they got back last weekend, i think we were all ready to make up for lost time because we made sure to see a lot of each other last week!

on monday morning kristen decided that she was finally going to join me and be my walking partner on my morning walks. (which, let's be honest, i haven't been doing much of lately) so, by 8:30 we were out the door pushing strollers along the beach. after walking for a while we decided to make a stop at the park and let the kiddos play. it wasn't long after that we started to notice the clouds rolling in and we decided to quickly pack up and get on our way so that we wouldn't get caught in the storm. long story short, let's picture the two of us running in the rain trying to make it home as fast as possible only to stop at a random house onto their covered porch to stay out of the massive downpour we had just found ourselves in. we waited it out for a few minutes and then decided to keep going after putting both sophie and calvin in my jogger since it has a rain shield. i'm sure we looked crazy as i was pushing one stroller with 2, crying kids and kristen with an empty, wiggly umbrella stroller racing in the pouring rain to get home as fast as possible! it was so funny.

all four of us were completely soaked so we threw the kids in the tub and while sophie's clothes were in the dryer, she got to wear some of calvin's clothes. look at kristen's ghetto child! it was pretty funny so see her in some boys clothes but it was nice to get a flower back in her hair again!

later in the week we went downtown. we spent a few hours playing at the park and the frog pond in the boston common and then took a ride on the swan boat in the public garden. both sophie and calvin had a great time and i'm pretty sure when they were chatting to each other in their best toddler babble they were saying something about how it was the best day ever! haha. calvin loved the fountains inside the park and did not want to leave. it was a fun day and we're so glad our friends are back.
