So remember how I just talked about the summer ended and in came structure and routine? Well that was a lie, we had one more fun event in September - Grandma and Grandpa came to visit!
This was their first time visiting our new house and we had a good time showing them around our town and to the sights beyond. One day we headed to Boston, and the next day we went to the Big E fair up in Springfield, Mass. The kids both adore their grandparents and even Abbie was going to them willingly (even preferring Grandma over me on the first day!)
Jackson, Abbie and I went to the airport to pick up Vicki first, she flew in a day earlier than Terry. And the whole drive there, Jackson was so giddy and excited to get there and see Grandma! It took a while with a road closed leading to a major detour and then making a wrong turn but finally we got there and he was thrilled to see her again!

Our day in Boston was so great! We saw the USS Constitution, Freedom Trail, amazing Italian food, Mike's Pastrys, played with ducks in Public Garden, took a train to Cambridge and hung out at Harvard before calling it a night and walking back to our car after a stop at a carousal. We couldn't have asked for better weather on a sunny but crisp beginning of autumn day :)

The next day we went to the Big E Fair in Springfield which is only about an hour away. It was quite the scene and actually was really warm that day. It might not have been my activity of choice but I'd do it again every year with how much the kids loved it and Jackson keeps talking about it weeks later! We got some fair food and Jackson and Grandpa did a few rides, but we spent most of our time watching the farm animals. Pig racing, horse shows, pony shows, cows, sheep, baby chicks, ducks all on display was heaven for my animal loving girl especially.

| Another bonus, sometimes Tyler and I can hold hands and walk alone :) |
