March Vacation 2012

Indeed we did pick the right year to stay in CT for the month of March because we had temperature highs in the 70s and 80s all week! Megan and I even enjoyed a run through the garden sprinkler one day. The weather also cooperated for our yard projects, the biggest of which was to remove our storm damaged tree - TIMBER! Christina and I experienced quite a thrill as we felled the 30' plus swamp Maple?, just missing the deck of the house and barely nicking Megan's playset. Good thing for youtube, where we learned the proper procedure. Ryan came over to help the next day with cutting up the wood which we transported to former neighbor Bill, just down the road. We're looking at a possible second tree to take down in the near future. By the way, thanks for the chainsaw Nonni!
We enjoyed trips with Megan to the Yankee Candle Company Store and Magic Wings Butterfly conservatory in Deerfield, MA as well as a return trip to the Harkness Park in Waterford, CT to enjoy the ocean on such a beautiful warm spring day.
Our weekend ended with a trip to the CT Science Center with friends Jen, Chris, Jackson, and Lilah, as well as with Uncle Ryan and Johnny.
