Christian spent the whole trip scaring Grammy every time she came home or into the room so the next picture was right after he had scared her. To keep the kids entertained we had movies going in the kitchen. Ryan loved the old Mickey Mouse movie and sat for an hour watching it!Tuesday nothing was really planned we wanted to rest and get some laundry done until Dan's Dad called us in the morning and told us that Wes Welker was going to be at a local supermarket signing autographs. Now Wes #83 from the Patriots is my favorite player, he is super cute a great wide receiver and has been on my fantasy football team for the pass two years. I had just bought his shirt on Saturday at Walmart so I was so excited to see him. He was there for charity you had to buy a $15 bag of food for homeless shelters in the area and then you got two signatures. We bought two bags so that we could get four signatures. We got a football signed for Dan's Dad, the program from the football game Dan went to with his Dad, a pennant for Christian and then a picture that Christian ended up giving to his Aunt Erin. It was so much fun to meet him, he was so sweet and was joking with Christian. It was a definite highlight of the trip for me. Also, there was a local news station there and we got on TV which made Christian so happy. We waited in line for about an hour but they had some mascots from local teams there so that kept the kids entertained and Christian even played football with the Lion. Ryan got bored half way through so he climbed into Megan's car seat and was acting like a baby it was really funny.Dan let me go up to meet him while he stood on the side and took the pictures. Notice the camera man filming us.Us on the channel 9 news at 5:30!Tuesday night Aunt Erin, Aunt Kelly, Aunt Mel and Enzo all come over to hang out with us and say goodbye!Christian and Ryan also spent the night playing games with Grampy. They have definitely missed Grammy and Grampy since we have been back. We had to leave at 5 am Wednesday morning so we said all our goodbyes on Tuesday night. I had such a great time and we don't get to see them enough so it was really hard to say goodbye. It was definitely one of the best vacations we have been on as a family the 11 days was enough that we got to do everything and hang out with everyone but not too long to be sick of it. Thanks to everyone who made our trip so wonderful!

Trip Wrap up
Saturday, Sunday and Monday were spent just hanging out. We went shopping at Target and Walmart getting New England sport team clothes for all of us. We got to see Aunt Erin's place and Uncle Jim and Aunt Mel's house. We played outside with Grampy and Dan's friend Ben and his daughter. We went to church and watch some football. Saturday night Dan got together with some of his high school friends and went out for dinner and to play some pool. I stayed at home with the kids and had a great time staying up late talking with Grammy and Grampy. Grampy had Monday off of work so we had a wonderful lunch with him then we went to see Great Grams who is in a Rehabilitation center because she broke her hip a couple of months ago. We had a nice visit with her. The Patriots played on Monday night which doesn't start till 8 pm out there so we let the kids stay up till halftime and then they had to go to bed. Aunt Erin came over for the game and we were all hoping that they would pull out the big win against the Saints, that didn't happen but we still had a great time.
