Claire goes to New England!

On Saturday July 24th we took our first family trip back to New England to visit with Melissa's family and our friends. We have had a busy week seeing everyone and introducing Claire to things Melissa did as a child. We had a slight accident with the camera and video camera as they decided to check out the Atlantic ocean, so while they are drying out we are a little short

on photos and videos.

Enjoying the Lovejoy's pool- thanks for creating some waves to surf Kelly and Alexis!

Yummy Lobster Rolls on the deck in Portsmouth with the Grandparents. A few nights before we had shared a great dinner at this same restaurant with one of Dave's DKE brothers Pete, his wife Theresa and their daughter Isabella (somehow we did not get a picture of them together), and my niece Emily.

Claire and Brandon saying goodbye! After a fun week in Maine/New Hampshire it was time to head to Boston for a weekend with the Simmons ladies and Christine & Brian's wedding.

We also met up with another one of Dave's DKE brothers, his wife Sara and their son Liam.

We had a great time introducing Claire to my family and a whole lot of East Coast Families!

4th of July Weekend

For the long weekend we headed to Salt Lake City, Utah to visit Dave's Great Aunt Grace. It was Claire's first plane ride and we are happy to report that she did great! She enjoyed looking out the windows and taking a nap on the short 1 hour flight. We are hopeful that this will we be the same when we fly to Boston at the end of the month.

Claire met her Great Great Aunt Grace who is 102 years old.

While we were there we hit the Hogle Zoo for a few hours and Claire was treated to a baby elephant and this fun Capy- who came over to see Claire up close.

Claire also met her Great Aunt Carol

We returned home on Monday and were treated to fireworks that had been rained out on the 4th. As you can see from her smile Claire enjoyed the show.

Claire's First Red Sox Game

Last night the family headed down to Coors Field for a beautiful summer evening baseball game between the Colorado Rockies and the Boston Red Sox. Claire had a great time watching all the excitement around us (and maybe a little of the game). We left the park while the Red Sox were still winning so she was not subjected to the pain that is associated with being a Red Sox Fan.

Primrose Family of the Month - June 2010

At the beginning of June one of our favorite teachers Miss Jamiee was named "Apple of our Eye" for the month of June. This allowed her to pick the family of the month which turned out to be us! Our story is now posted on the bulletin board, in the newsletter, and apparently online.

Happy Father's Day

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL OUR FAVORITE DADS!

AN EXTRA SPECIAL HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THOSE CELEBRATING THEIR FIRST FATHER'S DAY -

Andy, Josh, James, Barry, Gautam, Pete, Geoff, David S, and of course Dave!

For Father's Day we went to the zoo (we know we are getting predictable!). We were up and moving early in the morning so we were able to enjoy the zoo while it was still cool and not crowded! We strolled around visiting Claire's favorites and even watched them feed the penguins. It is fun to see Claire's reactions as she is able to take in more and more with each trip.

Since we were there early in the morning the elephants were still inside and Claire seemed to love seeing them up close.

Dave's family met up with us at lunchtime and Claire enjoyed some down time (she was suppose to be napping) in her sun tent as the peacocks walked on by.
