We had Lily's kid party last weekend here at the house. It was a good time w
ith good friends! One of my friends lent me her bounce house, and the little kids had a great time in it. Steve also bought water balloons, which were the biggest hit with the kids. Aside from a minor accident in which Lily somehow sliced her toe open (and thankfully did NOT need stitches although it bled like crazy!), everyone had a great time!
This past Thursday night was Emmalee's Summer Theater Camp performance of Pinocchio. She played the part of "Angelina Bobalina Banana Fana Fofalina", the evil witch of Party Island that turns the kids into donkeys. She was GREAT! At the end of the show, it
was announced that next year's performance will be The Wizard of Oz, and she can hardly wait! Here are pictures of Emmalee with her 2 favorite teachers/camp directors, Mr. Zuliani (left) and Mr. Morency (right).

Monday and Tuesday of last week we all went over to Cape Cod, where my sister Andrea and her family were renting a house for the week. The weather was gorgeous and we spent both days at the beach playing in the water. The waves were great on Monday, and Tuesday the water was so calm that we were able to let the kids wade by themselves. They loved it! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera!! Grrrrrr.

y, I wanted to go to the beach, but Steve was all beached out (he's not a huge fan), so we decided that, after 5 years of living at the base of the Heublein Tower, we would FINALLY hike to the top of the mountain and check it out. We put Lily in the kid backpack and se
t out. It was a
great hike, and the house and tower is amazing. It was the summer home of the Heublein family. I wanted to move right in. The views were awesome - you could see as far as Springfield, MA, and all over CT and some of New York from each direction. Very Cool. I highly recommend doing it sometime if you are ever in New
England. 120 stairs to the observation deck (which they used as 
a ballroom back then), but so worth it. On our way back down we found this adorable orange newt, and then in the road on our way out, we saw this snake. S
teve and I had fun, the kids had fun, and there was minimal whining.
