Boston

We took a family vacation to Boston.  It has been a life long dream of Chris' to go to a Red Sox game in Fenway Park and one of my best friends from high school lives in Beantown.  What great reasons to visit for a week.

We had a fabulous time.  We saw the Red Sox the first day we were there.  We had four children under the age of six at the game and they all did great!  Parker ended up sleeping through an hour of the game.  Fenway is amazing.  It is truly an experience that I will never forget.  And, the best part (aside from the Fenway Frank) was singing Sweet Caroline with the other fans in the stadium.  I felt like I was in the Fever Pitch movie.

We went to the Children's Museum, the Museum of Science, and the North End (yummy Italian food and goodies) .  But, Parker's favorite spot was Boston Common park and the frog pond.  We ended up at the park at least four times in our seven days in Boston.  The park has an amazing playground with a water feature AND a large wading depth pond for the kiddos.  Apparently, the frog pond becomes an ice skating rink in the winter.  It is absolutely brilliant and Parker had the best time!

It was great to see Courtney, her husband Ben and their three kids - Nathan, Daniel and Joseph (Joe).  Parker had fun with his new friends Nathandanieljoe (always said as one word).  And Court was so gracious showing us around her city and having us over for dinner.  She even delivered a bag of books and toys for Parker to have in the hotel.  It was so helpful.  It is so nice to have friends for so long.  It is fun to reminisce of the high school days, but it is more fun to celebrate the lives we have created.  Court is an amazing mom and wife.  It is fun to watch and learn from her as I continue to grow as a mom.

So there you have the highlights from our family vacation.  I love the family we have and love the experiences we are giving to Parker!
