Our Adventure

We took Cassidy to the aquarium yesterday. As we were walking over to it, we were flooded with memories. Ones from when me, Keith, Cassidy and Alec went to the aquarium together. The last time we all went was just a great day together.
When we were leaving, Cassidy got a lollipop in the gift shop and there was a # 23 on her receipt. Then on the walk to our car we went in Dunkin Donuts, I got a coffee, it cost $1.77 and our change was 23 cents!  Alec was letting us know he was with us.

Me and Cass were also remembering our other trip to the aquarium with me, Casssidy, Alec and Holly, Lydia, Nicholas and Ethan. It was summer vacation 2010, I called Holly to see if her and the kids wanted to go to the aquarium with us, and they said yes, so
after going back and forth between should we drive or take the train, we decided on the train thinking it would be more fun.  Once we got into Boston, we had to take the subway to the aquarium. We were out of our element. It took us awhile, but thanks to Holly, we figured which one to ride. so we get to the subway and are waiting with so many people.  We were all feeling out of place and scared and everyone was staring at us. Alec was sitting in his stroller, playing his singing Bunnay oblivios to all the stares we were getting.He was the only one of us that was not worried.
We waited and waited and waited, finally the subway came and it was overcrowded, but we did not care , I scooped Alec in my arms, Holly took his stroller and we all squeezed in. We couldn't take a minute longer in that place.    We went and enjoyed the aquarium. When we were done, I called Keith to ask him if he would pick us up because we were too scared to take the subway. He said no, he just got home from work-- his 45 min drive from Avon and it was Friday night and he would be sitting in traffic to come back in to Boston , plus we wouldn't all fit in my van. I knew it was a long shot, but asked him any way.
So we decided just to walk back to the train, no subway for us. We kept getting lost and had to walk up a gigantic outside staircase, so I kept Alec  strapped in his stroller and me and Holly carried him up in it.  All the kids were such troopers, but I have to say Alec was the biggest trooper because this was not his kind of thing, he liked to be home or in his comfortable environment, but he was going with the flow.   We were all starving and went in to Bertucci's to eat. The waiter was so kind, Alec kept asking him questions, like,"Do you have oyster crackers and Do you have cheese and crackers"etc..,  the waiter was a young guy , yet he had such a nice way with Alec, he took the time to listen to him and talk to him. He genuinely enjoyed Alec--it was so touching. After that we found our way to the train, and realized that we just made it in time for the train, otherwise we wouldn't have got home til 11:00pm as it was we didn't get back til 9:30 ish way way past Alec's bedtime. 
We call it our adventure, because it was a crazy adventure.  Even though we should've drove and avoided all that,  it left us with  fun memories.
And it made Cassidy laugh yesterday just thinking about it.

Laura,

I LOVE this memory! The kids and I were talking about it recently as well and how much fun our "adventure" was. We talked about how stinkin' cute Alec was asking the waiter for cheese and crackers and telling him that he really should look into getting some!! Alec helped us all get through the subway experience, with his singing Bunnay. :)

Thank you for sharing one of our very favorite memories.

Love,
Holly
xoxo
