Dustin Pedroia from the Boston Red Sox rehabbed in Portland for several games!
Portland Symphony Orchestra does shows for children periodically to introduce them to the symphony. The most recent one was the music of Harry Potter! Coming in costume was encouraged!
Before the show was "Pet an Instrument" where the kids could try out various instruments. Of the ones Kaitlyn tried, she didn't seem to have a natural aptitude for the woodwinds. However, she seemed to have a little bit of talent with the viola. We shall see... next year in school she starts band. I don't think the strings are an option to choose. It will be interesting to see what she picks!
They also had "Meet a Conductor" where the conductor taught them how to conduct the orchestra and they got to briefly conduct a couple of the musicians!
When we went shopping the other day, the Wiener-mobile was there! Kaitlyn got to go inside!
On Mother's Day, Kaitlyn and I did the Sea Dogs Mother's Day 5K. It was my 4th year and Kaitlyn's 2nd. By far some of the nicest weather we've had for it!
Afterwards we met Mammy for brunch at the Egg and I. I got a yummy lobster and spinach omelet!
The girls gave me some beautiful handmade gifts! Hopefully I can keep the plant alive for awhile!
My special dessert! A mini cake with chocolate ganache and Bavarian cream!
Stay tuned for a separate blog in the next couple of days documenting Kaitlyn's first big overnight trip. While she's gone, we went out to lunch with Kenzie. She was NOT a fan of that hat, but it was too cute to not get a picture!
