VACATION:
The outfits above were both worn on Monday….
I didn't do any outfit shots on the previous days although there are plenty of vacation photos…

We traveled to Boston, MA on Friday then drove to Sturbridge, MA. The next day (Saturday) was the big family re-union for my mother in-law's side of the family to celebrate her Aunt's 90th Birthday.

My husbands sister and her family came as well so the kids were very happy to be with their cousins although we are going to spend more time with them later in the week.

Recognize the actor TJ from the T.V. series 'Bones'???

He is my husband's cousin or uncle (not sure which)...

I was told meeting in halls like this is a common way to gather in the East Coast. My son was appalled that they wouldn't be on a grassy lawn until he realized the heat and how you don't want to be outside...

Later we hung out with my in-laws….

 Having fun with Grandpa...

A Fair to Remember

Wednesday's boho outfit was inspired by this Nordstrom Look:

I had a lighter colored kimono top but it wasn't as long as this one and I liked how this longer one looked. Paired with the hat and fringed suede booties created a very boho look. And Since my kimono wrap was darker color I went with a navy tank instead of a white one…

 I had absolutely no time to change when we came from our day time event and before I went out for may plans that evening. The good thing is where we were going was casual so the outfit worked and here I am at night in the same get-up. Hat and all… Actually got comment on my hat when I was walking on the street. :)

Hat - Sole Society

Tank - Kika Paprika

Kimono - Forever 21

Jean Shorts - TJ Maxx

Boots - Mia

Purse - Thread Show

Necklace - H&M

WEDNESDAY:

Well it is the start of summer. I help organize two playdates groups where we fill out the summer calendar with fun events so we don't wake up every morning and wonder what we should do. Our local fair is going on so before our trip we decided to do a big playdate together. It is always a fun but very tiring day. And now our kids are older so we had to go to two different ride areas and half the kids were alreays a bit upset cause they weren't tall enough to ride etc… The youngest was so cute at one of the rides when he got rejected he came crying and said 'I don't have enough inches'!! 

At the end I barely made it home in time to wash up two very dirty children and took my daughter to my mom's while my husband came to take my son to his tennis lesson…

Cotton Candy Madness...

And at night met my girlfriends to take my best friend out for her birthday. She picked 3 very cool foodie type places well actually the first one was a bar that specializes only on whiskey which is her favorite…
Everything walking distance we had a fun night…
