Duxbury Beach 
Emma loved finding BB's shells
Uncle Jake came down to join us for our first lobster dinner of the week.
On Saturday morning we packed everything up again and headed to Martha's Vineyard with the Fraziers, Bartletts, Hitchins and Andy and Jill. Grammy BB dropped us off at the ferry and the Fraziers piled all our belongings into their car. 
The girls' first ferry boat ride.
Once we were on the vineyard we spent a wonderful week playing on the beach, hanging out on the beautiful deck and playing with our friends. We rented a great 5 bedroom house just outside town. We were able to walk into town for lunches, and hit some great beaches near by. We ate like kings every night, as each couple took turns preparing a meal. The last night was the 4th of July so we enjoyed a great lobster bake and watched the fireworks in the distance. The Garretts came over to the island and joined us for the day. It was great to spend some time with them, Nate and Zoe are such fun spunky kids. Little Reed is our little brown eyed boyfriend. 
Many hours were spent on this wonderful deck.

Happy 4th from the Bordens.
The girls with Reed, he has the biggest brown eyes I have ever seen, such a cutie.
Yummmm, lobster. Starting them early.

Our time ended on the Vineyard on the 5th so we headed to Westport to spend a couple days with Grampy and Grandma Jeffie. On Sunday we spent the afternoon with the entire Borden Clan at the boathouse and enjoyed another Lobster bake. The girls had fun hanging out with their second cousins Meredith, Amanda, Andrew and Peter. It is always fun to see that side of the family.
Pulling lobster pots with Grampy. Just like pulling crab pots in the sound, only the catch tastes a lot better.
Too small, oh darn.
Madi was in a great mood. It must be from all the fun she had with the other kids.

All the kids.

Monday morning we packed up once again and headed back to Duxbury to spend one more night with grammy BB. We also got to spend some time with Susie Romanski and her daughter Kate, Susie is BB's cousin and greatest friend. That evening we took the girls up to Fenway to see their first Boston Red Sox game (thank you Fraizers for the tickets). The heat and humidity were ridiculous so we only lasted 4 innings, but the girls did great considering and the sox won.

Tuesday evening it was time to head home. The girls did amazingly well with all the traveling and sleeping in new places. They saw many new faces and adjusted right away to their new surroundings. Twelve days away from home is a long time. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
Also while on vacation the girls made some new developments. Emma came out of her little shell and is now little miss talkative and social. She talks all day long and has a crazy loud voice. Both girls started saying "mama". They also both started practicing balancing more on their own, it won't be long before the first steps are taken and my world changes once again. Playing with Lucy Frazier encouraged the girls to move a lot more and a lot faster. Lucy is a few months older and is on the move. It was so much fun watching the three girls interact all week. Baby Lucas is still a little young to join the crazy fun, Madi would have clobbered him
