Andy and Lisa Beats invited us to go down to the New England Aquarium in Boston.  The kids enjoyed watching the penguins the most.  Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to see the Sea Lion show.  We did however get to see our first 3D movie at an IMAX theater.  The movie was called Underwater Wonderland.  

We took a trip down to Sheffield to having dinner with Kevin's family.  

Poppy has been in Sheffield over a year now.  He has adjusted very well  and he loves it there.   One of his new friends from the Senior Center wrote this poem about him:

Most of us think that money is no joke,

But Dominic, who comes from good Italian folk,

Plans to go through life with just a single joke.

When he has done his morning chore,

he walks in through the Center's door

And treats us to his daily jive,

"Anybody got two tens for a five?"

The kids and I went to see a production of Treasure Island at the Goffstown Library.  The actors were from a Manchester high school drama class. 

Chase received his first Kindness Award.  This award is giving to kids who have done something nice for someone else.  Chase's teacher nominated him for 'always being kind and respectful to everyone!'
