Having the mayor as your Zaydie (grandfather) certainly has its privileges. We arrived at my mom’s house, and we weren’t there for ten minutes before the mayor whisked up the two kids and took them down to the North Shore fire station, where my kids are now honorary firefighters. they even came home with badges!
*song of the day: fittingly, It’s Good to Be King, by Tom Petty. a fancy little side note. the guy who used to play bass in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, before he died of a drug overdose, was my first cousin, Howie Epstein.
**congrats to Naomi at urbanmummy on her new baby boy!
Looks like lots of fun! It’s always good to have friends in high places 🙂
Lovely photos, the kids look like they had a blast!!!
(Toby would LOVE this, I will actually show him these photos tonight.)
We hired an old fashioned fire engine for Tobs’ 3rd birthday and all thekids had a total blast.
Glad you had a nice trip.))
Wow, how educational and resourceful of Zaide. Great idea! Looks like they had a blast. Soooooo cute!
Wow! Even I’m jealous!
It’s good to be king/queen alright! What a treat alright!! It’s nice to know people in high places! And you’re just so well connected every where!
