Separate Adventures …

At Brickfest
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02178

Today the boys had one adventure while the girls had another. I learned that I had a full day of Personal Time that I had to take or lose by the end of the year so I picked a day where there wasn’t much happening at night at work. We’re still short a person and one other person was going to be out for the weekend. That would leave only two people on and I don’t like taking time when there is a downtime to manage. But, it worked out that nothing was happening so I booked the tickets to aht andy and I could go to Brick Fest Live in Worcester.

Brick Fest Live is a LEGO show where people come with their LEGO creations both amature and professional. There are also a bunch of LEGO themed activities to do. I had gone to Philly Brick Fest several years ago when I was doing a LEGO themed YouTube show. That event was really good and I had expected the same sort of thing from today’s show. Today’s show paled in comparison. It was very small and there wasn’t a whole lot to do. I think that andy and I were there for little over an hour. We did the activity to get the free gift and then got some tacos for lunch at a cool little place with great food.I learned that Andy enjoys chorizo. We were home well before the girls.

MFA

Allison and Eva went to Boston to the MFA and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Allison had gotten discounted passes from the library for both places. The MFA had a Georgia O’Keefe installation that they wanted to see.

Today was my cousin’s wedding. Haley and her sister were the flower girls at our wedding. Josh and Haley were at the most recent marriage prep class and at our table. It was nice to hang out with them for the day as they prepared for their wedding. The wedding was really nice and we were all able to attend.

After the mass we got a family photo together before going on to Town Tavern and Tap for a reception.

flower girls all grown up

At the reception we made sure to get a photo with Haley and Madison to show how grown up our flower girls are now. They are both married. It was interesting seeing my other cousin’s daughter as the flower girl for the wedding today. I started to imagine 19 years from now where that girl may be getting married. It is crazy how I started thinking about this during the wedding.
