Jam-packed Weekend with Grandpa

Picking pumpkins at Parlee Farms


Below, Elliot is having a long talk with Grandpa while walking in the orchard.


Then we pose for a family photo ...


Then Elliot drives Ben into the trees and supervises the picking from the top.


Then Grandpa slips her a bite of her first apple in non-pureed form.



Then she became an apple-eating fiend and of about 20 pictures in the Orchard, an apple is in her mouth for 15 of them.




We also took a ferry to the Boston Harbor Islands to see the huge regatta at George's Island.


Elliot & Grandpa have an "I'm King of the World" moment.

On the island, near Fort Warren, Elliot & Grandpa set of on another chat.

I thought this was a regatta ... where are all the sailboats? No worries though, it was 70s and sunny and gorgeous.




Back on the pier, we saw this boy reel in his fishing line ... with a starfish on the end of it!


On the way home after a quick trip to the aquarium (we are sparing you more fishie photos), we went to Union Square in Somerville and stopped in on the Fluff Marshmallow Festival. It was 90 years ago on this spot that Marshmallow Fluff was invented. How could we not stop? Though the general assessment was that there was not enough Fluff on the scene and we were bait and switched since there was NO Flufficino being served anywhere, and we could have used a coffee!




Lounging it up at Baby Loves Disco. There are NO cute photos of ours from this event, but here is Elliot having a cookie in the VIP lounge and then commandeering a hula hoop on the emptying dance floor as the party wore down.



And finally, walking a mile in Grandpa's shoes. Elliot loves shoes and now tries them on and trods around everywhere. Grandpa's sneakers were a big hit!
