Weekend Update

Busy weekend here on Howe Lane. First on Saturday morning, Mom was here to take care of Jack (Stephen was still coming home from NYC) while the Howe Lane Ladies took Jill out for her baby shower. We started with pedicures at a nearby spa and then lunched at Davio's in Patriot Place.
Here's Jill and Sarah...

Then we all went out to dinner (while Mom watched Jack again... thanks) to Jalapeno's. Food wasn't the best it's ever been - maybe a new chef? But the company was excellent... so it was a good time.

Today we went to a harvest festival over in North Easton. It was Jack, Mom, Jill, Piper, Ryan, Tom and the other Sarah. There were magicians, music, food, crafters, animals and pony rides! It was also a bit chillier and more damp than I had anticipated.

Here's Jack's buddy (and neighbor) Ryan... he's just 3 months younger than Jack. He keeps his hat on... unlike the kid this blog is named for.


Here's Jack enjoying some fried dough... and checking out a hen.


We took a ride on a little open-air train that made Jack very happy! Although you wouldn't know it from the photo....


Jack and Ryan grooved to a little music...

Here's Mom with the goat... she liked her. Jack did not.


This is what Jack did like...


Then we cruised the craft area... didn't really need any of that stuff. Ryan's dad Tom ate something at each booth. I think he enjoyed himself, despite being the only Dad to go.

After the craft section... Grandma Sheep insisted that Jack ride the pony. The part he liked best was climbing the 3 steps up to get on pony. The rest of the ride... not so much.



As we were leaving... Jack put his little face inside the wooden fireman cut-out thingy...

Long weekend... but a good weekend. Night Night.
