The Brown's, Dr. Shuman, and then off to Brody's House!

We ended our visit in Nahant with pizza at the Brown's.  The kids fell right back into play, never skipping a beat.  It was hard to leave, but we are keeping fingers crossed that Mary and Jim will find some affordable flights.
     Monday allowed us time to relax after our first night at Gammy and Gampys.  We had a nice visit with family, and then headed back south to meet Cathy and Cate for lunch in Salem, from there a quick stop to catch up with Dr. Shuman and meet his new puppy Kai, and from there head to Brody's for some good outdoor play and a delicious meal.  It was so nice to hear Fiona and Ethan's hard laughter that only Brody can seem to elicit.  The kids put their heads together and created a "zip-line" that even worked!

Yay!  The Brown's!

Jumping the fountains in Salem.

Cute Kai...

Look at that face!

Happy visit with Dr. Shuman.

Look at those BIG kids in the tree.

Brody, the engineer.

Ethan, the thinker.

Homemade zipline...success!

Been hanging out since Fiona and Brody were in diapers....

Another great idea?
