Grandma and Grandpa are Here!

We are so lucky to finally have Grandma and Grandpa Robertson here with us.  And the even better news is that they'll be staying!  We are super excited to have them close by and being able to see them so often.  They found a place that isn't too far away and it is just perfect!  All of their stuff arrived yesterday and it will be so fun to have grandparents living close.  And extremely helpful for when this little girl comes along!  We've had a lot of fun together these past couple of weeks and I just had to document some of our fun times.

We went mini golfing at a fun course nearby.  It was the boys first time (I think!) and they loved it!
A pretty good pose
Grandma and Alan, creature powers and all
I don't remember who won, but I know it was one of these more serious golfers :)
Here's Alan at hole 18.  He was always a hole or two ahead of us (it was just so exciting!).  Anyway, it was hilarious when he got to the end and his ball went down the chute and he couldn't get it back.  He will tell you... "I was just sooooo surprised when my ball didn't come back!"  It was pretty funny.  He then thought it was so cool that he wanted to hit all of our balls for us on the 18th hole.  Quite a kid. :)
We went down to visit dad at his new work in Cambridge.  He works right next to this canoe renal place so he joined us during his lunch break for a little canoeing on the Charles.
Our boys were pretty excited.  They had this super huge canoe that fit all of us in one boat.  It was fun, but a little hard to steer!
Alan has also been begging to go to the beach.  We decided we had better get it done before this baby comes.
We went to Castle Island, which is less of a traditional beach experience, as it is on the bay, but the boys still had fun despite the lack of big waves.  They also had a cool fort and playground and free parking.
And it was a rather overcast and cool day, but they loved it all the same.
We are so glad to have our Grandma and Grandpa Robertson living close by and are looking forward to lots more fun outings like these!

  2. Looks like so much fun! I have to point out that the blog post right before you had James also included going to the beach. So with the next baby, go to the beach and blog about it BEFORE your due date and maybe it will come in time ;) Hope little girl gets here soon! Love you guys :)
