4th of July Weekend- 3 weeks late!

We got back from our Ohio trip at about 4am on the Friday of 4th of July weekend. Abe's friend Rob decided to come and visit us for the Holiday, so that night we picked him up from the airport. At Nara Park here in Acton, they were having a big community celebration on Saturday. We went and got a free BBQ, free games and Adeline even got to pick out a prize with a bunch of tickets that we helped her win. Abe insisted that we battle each other on one of the games. I felt pretty funny that we were the only adults waiting in line for it. I surprisingly knocked Abe off his platform first because he was laughing so hard. He made a comeback and knocked me off the next two times.


After that we headed over to Concord and walked around town and then went to the Minute Man park where the Revolution began and where the "Shot heard 'round the world" was.

Sunday after church we headed over to the Coast Guard Station in downtown Boston. Texas Roadhouse was catering a lunch for the military and they had activities for the kids and stuff. Adeline even got to meet snow white there... which she told us later on was her most favorite part about the day :)

After the Coast Guard station we walked around town and enjoyed the crowds. Adeline and her friend Benjamin played in some random fountains that were on our way to the Boston Commons where we ended up watching Fireworks. They were amazing!! We had such a great time with Rob. He is one of Adeline's favorite people!

I love the girls 4th of July outfits! I'm glad you had a good weekend. And I can't believe Norah is almost 7 months old, I love all your previous post about her too. Ingrid won't take a binky either...what's the deal?? When are you coming back to Utah in August? Can't wait to see you!
