Eric demonstrates his engineering skills by way of Legos – and all 407 little pieces. I have to admit the kid has more patience than I ever had at his age (8 years old).

Shooting the wind turbine
Eric and I were off to see the wind turbine at the New England Tech Automotive School. I thought it was a good opportunity to test the new tripod (using a slow shutter speed).
Sea the Aquarium
This weekend’s trip? The Mystic Sea Aquarium… in Mystic.
Christy is doing a school project on Beluga Whales, so we went for photos, and videos, of these giant smiling white things. Some video…
Eric was disappointed to learn that Mystic does not have any Sperm Whales – the subject of his project.
Carcieri warns of worst flooding in 100 years
Yep. We have water in the basement. And the old man’s neighbor, who is house sitting for him, just called to say that dad has water in his basement. And of course, dad is away in Washington, DC.
And now Governor Carcieri is telling everyone to stay home. Sigh.
New Bedford Whaling Museum
We were off to the New Bedford Whaling Museum today. This was taken using my iPhone.
Foooooood Fiiiiiight!!
Okay. There was no food fight, but I thought about it. Donna would never have forgiven me, and I would have been sent to the principal’s office. We still had a good time in the cafa-gyma-torium, which is a pseudonym for giant room that serves as a cafeteria, gym, and auditorium. It was great to just hang out with my kids. Even Donna took time out of teaching up stairs to swing by. Good times. Good times.

Sunny Sunday
Sunday, March 21, 2010 was an absolutely beautiful day, so we headed for the Barrington Playground behind the library. Something we haven’t checked out before was the little pond on the opposite side of the library. A little gazebo/dock in the middle of the pond gave us a great vantage point to view “hordes” of goldfish, big and small.
Testing Windows Live Writer
I should be in bed, but instead I’m testing Windows Live Writer on this new install of Windows 7.
Human slingshot
Eric launches himself from a swing in the backyard. The only one taking a risk in this photo is ME. That kid almost squashed me on the landing. Hey – anything for a good shot.
