Macy is growing up fast!

Wow! What a difference in 4 months. I'm taking her photo every month in the same position to see how she's growing. I didn't start out doing this, but noticed 3 in a row so I thought it would be fun to watch her get bigger.

And one more, because it's so Macy. She's missing "her Sam".

Whale Watching at Jackson's Landing in the Gulf of Maine

We got to see Fin whales which was amazing! We saw 4 total which is unusual as they tend to be solitary. You can only see about 1/3 of them as they head down in search of food so I can only imagine how big they really are as we tried to get close to them in between breaths. They are the 2nd largest animal on our planet! We would normally see humpback whales but none this particular day so no cool tail photos, next time. We did see a blue shark though. Really feels like you're in the wild when you see these animals.

Trip to the Zoo

We went to the zoo yesterday and Sam had so much fun feeding the ducks - what a treat! He fed the ducks, deer and llamas without blinking an eye. He used to be so scared and he did great! We had such a fun day at our little zoo. 
:D
