Photoshoot and a trip to the Science Center

Today we took Finley to an event for kids with rare diseases. There is a photographer that takes pictures of kids who have rare diseases and they hold these events. Mat was told about it at Pfizer, and asked to bring Finley. So off we went.

We don't have the pictures the photographer took - not yet - I think they will be putting them online soon. But I took a few pictures while were there playing around.

They had face painting, and arts and crafts, and dress up, and music - it was fun. The kids had a great time.

After that, we went to the Boston Science Center for the rest of the afternoon. It was the first time I was there and that place is HUGE. You definitely need a full day. But the kids had fun and went to bed easily tonight after a long day.

Enjoy the pictures!! Oh - we accidentally forgot Finley's glasses, so she doesn't have them on below. We never do that - but Mat and both thought the other grabbed them....you know....old age.

The photographer took shots of all the kids together, too. And he took pictures of Arlington and Cainan alone to make them feel special as well:

They had a dress up section, which the kids really liked:

Cainan liked banging on some musica instruments:

Goofy girls

My favorite picture of the day:

At the Science Center. Finley was looking for where she lived:

Cainan was trying to see how far it was from Mass. to China:
