Local Family Fun

I'm feeling good about this weekend because we did some great local family fun stuff. First, we spent part of the day on Saturday at Western Avenue Studios here in Lowell, an enormous artists' studio space where they were having Open Studios all weekend (and will do so again this weekend, so you should go too!). We saw lots of great stuff and Lucy had a blast collecting candy from the various studios. We also stopped at a terrific free activity, Anne Ruthman's Photobooth, where she took a bunch of photos of us, shown here:







This was a very quick, on-the-fly session, but we are so impressed with her. We will be going back for a real session at some point, but wanted to sing her praises here. If you're looking for a photographer, Anne is a gem! You too can join the photobooth fun next weekend! In the meantime, check out Anne's blog here, or her Facebook here.



Then today we went to Wignall's Animal Hospital, Carter's vet, where they were having their annual Santa Sunday. If you have the chance to go to Santa Sunday in the future, you should go. We only went for the very last part (because Lucy was taking her first decent nap in probably a month!), but we had a great time. Carter and Lucy had their picture taken with Santa. We hope to have a file to upload very soon. There was also a raffle with cool prizes, and all the proceeds went to take care of animals, so we're feeling good about the whole thing.
