This cool looking fish was at the New England Aquarium in August.

Silkworms

These silk worms were at the Butterfly Place in Westford MA in July. The Butterfly Place is closed for the season now, but should open again sometime in February.

Christmas decorations

Christmas might be over, but there are still houses with decorations. This is a light tree. Sadly, there wasn't any snow for Christmas this year. After we had the snow in October, we haven't really had any snow to speak of.

Quincy Fair Mall - now

In November 2010 I blogged about what the Quincy Fair Mall looked like ->And now it is gone.... Here is the current update. 

There was a road created (the cars that you can see beyond the rubble are on the new road.). There was a big opening in October: Walter J Hannon Parkway opens

Now there is a easier connection to the expressway from Hancock Street. But, as you can see by the big pile of rubble, it still doesn't look finished. In fact, the view from the road is quite ugly. Hopefully it will look better by next year. There is also issues about traffic light timing -- it takes forever to get through there. The local paper wrote about it near Christmas: Trouble with Traffic

It was then changed, and Wicked Local Quincy checked a few days ago to see if the timing was fixed: Wicked Local goes down the road

Shrinky Dinks

Here are a couple of products from one of my daughter's favorite Christmas gifts -- Disney Fairies Shrinky Dinks! I didn't even know they still made these! I remember making tons of these when I was younger. It was very fun to watch the picture you just colored shrink in the oven. Now I get to watch my daughter be fascinated by the same thing.
