Pictures from our Massachusetts Trip-- First Installment

Videos will have to come later, as they have to be uploaded to YouTube first so my parents can view them on their iMac.

The boys at the airport, watching the airplanes through the window:

 Here's G, ready to Fly! He really enjoyed looking out the window to "see the world."

 Z was happy enough starting out, until take-off time...poor kid was miserable every time we took off or landed, which happened a total of eight times the entire trip.

 Taking the shuttle to pick up our rental car (Nick's dad was also traveling with us). Z was so snuggly, I had to get a picture:

 The first night, the boys shared a Queen bed. In the morning, they looked like this:
Thankfully, the rest of the nights they each had their own beds.

 Our first day playing on the beach. It was raining a little and Z got cold, so he spent most of the time inside the beach hut:

 G spotted a "fish" out in the water. It turned out to be a horseshoe crab...

 Here's G, excited with his discovery:

 The underside of a horseshoe crab:

 The back, barnacles and all:

 That black spot in the middle is an eye...

 Here, my sons' hands touching the crab, shown here for scale. My mother-in-law said this was actually small for a horseshoe crab.

 Bye-bye horseshoe crab! Thanks for posing!
