Naples Reflections- the Bean

 

The Bean and Snoop Maddie Mad Make Wishes

Greetings From Naples Suckas!

Adventures in babysitting Day 2

The girls and I have been tearing up Naples!  Yesterday Naples Zoo and then Cambier Park to shred the killer playground.  Today a nice walk in the sun and some shopping at Waterside Shops where we tossed a couple rolls of pennies to the fountains and made some wishes.

One of Snoop Mad’s wishes was to be a BEEEEUUUTIFUL Fairy Princess. The Bean wished for the palm trees to grow big and tall and also for them to stop moving.

Mindball -Family Day At The Children’s Museum Of New Hampshire

Playing mindball at The New Hampshire Children’s Museum.   The object is to relax your mind and produce fewer brainwaves.  The sensors which you velcro around your noggin measure how relaxed you are and you can view them on the monitors above.  When you have less brain activity than your opponent the ball on the table moves toward your opponent’s circle.

It’s a game of mind tug of war but instead of stregnth as a barometer for winning- it’s relaxation!  That’s my kind of game, lol.

Gloucester Day With The Bean- Ryan and Wood Distillery

Although I knew I wouldn’t be able to cover the Ryan and Wood official launch of Folly Cove Rum I wanted to pop in and see how GMG photographer and videographers Thom Falzorano and Manuel Simoes were doing with the coverage.

We managed to squeeze in a short interview with Bobby Ryan while the Bean made fart noises on my neck.  Adds to the character of the interview I say!

Thanks to Manuel Simoes for these pics-

Gloucester Day With the Bean-Lobster Platter Find At Main Street Art and Antiques

From The Dress Code we bounced down to David Cox’ Main Street Art and Antiques for my daily dose of David Cox’ hilarity and crazy stories.  We talked about the blog and his assignments while The Bean commented on David’s filing system or lack thereof.

This vintage lobster platter can be had for a mere $28.

The Bean Kneads The Dough

At American Flatbread Company they give the kids dough to play with while you wait for your pizza.  A good idea that I’d never heard of before.

The Bean Will Bust You Up!

I had the Bean give me a gangsta pose for a Birthday Card Idea I had for her Auntie Kim.  Watch out.  Don’t get out of line or she’ll come bust you up!  Especially intimidating are her pink heart jammies.

Hearts- all the gangsta’s are wearin ’em.
