one wednesday

we went to the stoneham zoo. these guys loved the playful bear.

 or hungry bear...whatever.

 took jack a while to get out of the stroller. then he remained skeptical.

 he liked this animal though.

ben and matt walked everywhere. matty is terrified i am going to lose a twin so he follows them closely when they wander. may be direct result of him getting lost at toys r us a few weeks ago.

 major highlight: misting cool-down station

 then washed up, jammied and went to patriots practice. sometimes they all want to be held by daddy. no complaints from mom.

 40 minute car ride = "i'm so excited. i love the patriots. they are my favorite team. i love football. i love football games. i am so excited." and so we settled in our seats. with cheesy nachos, giant pretzels, steaming chicken nuggets and a couple of $8 beers. yeah!

go pats!

 5 minutes later = "this is boring. where's the football? who's brady? i'm bored. it's hot. i'm still hungry."

and so we found some turf...

 ..and an old cup

 (just kidding. it was our cup.)

then they all went right to bed and slept until 8. the end.

(this last part is fiction.)
