The kids were overflowing with energy this afternoon, so Grandma and I took them and Charlotte for a 4k hike up Starkey Hill, just outside Guelph. Elijah and William managed to scare off all the local wildlife (as well as some unsuspecting hikers) but we worked off some of their excess exuberance going up and down the trail.
In other news, the Tooth Fairy will be making a return visit tonight after William lost yet another front tooth:
Two days after his brother, William lost his first tooth. That’s genetics at work! The twins are back to being identical:
Elijah lost his first tooth last night!
Eric and I were enjoying the final shows at Osheaga when Grampa texted about Eli’s tooth, so the Tooth Fairy made her visit late last night. Elijah is very proud to lose a tooth before his brother, telling William: “I’m going to be a grown-up before you are!”
Luckily for William, he’s also got a super wiggly tooth, so we expect the Tooth Fairy back very soon.
We just got back from a week at the beach in Ogunquit, Maine, followed by 2 days in the beautiful city of Boston. The seaside was a delight: wide sandy beach, ocean waves & sunny days left us all tanned and relaxed. When the weather was less cooperative, we took field trips to the wonderful Children’s Museum in Dover, New Hampshire and “York’s Wild Kingdom”, a zoo/amusement park just down the road from our house in Ogunquit.
In Boston, we packed a massive amount of sights into our short visit; not only did we wander through the Boston Common, Public Garden, Fanueil Hall and some of the Freedom Trail sights, but we spent hours at the incredible New England Aquarium, the Museum of Science and even the Fine Art Museum. Adding those days in Boston definitely softened the blow of leaving Maine!
life after twins?
