Family reunion VI

(July 2019)

The last night together.

We got a babysitter for Lane and Andie and the rest of us set out for a Red Sox game in Boston.

The weather was gorgeous and the stadium was packed!

The Sunset was beautiful.

The cotton Candy was sweet

The cheering section was loud

The Kids were darling

The company was great

We had a blast!

(It was fun to doing a side by side from the last game we went to. Oh how we have all grown)

This really was such a FUN family reunion.

Our souls needed it.

We all left so happy we got to do this and so greatful we all made it happen.

Til next time guys.

We love you all

Family Reunion Part V

(July 2019)

We started the afternoon eating lunch in Concord.

While Lane explored his cousins yard we planned for a super fun adventure of canoeing down to the Concord/Lexington Bridge.

Grandma took Lane in the car and the rest of us hopped into canoes and made our way to the "shot heard around the world"

We all huddled up and listened while we honored the farmers who were ready to help establish America!

That night was our talent show and lip sync battle.

There was so much joy and love.

There were hugs

There were songs sung

(Andie singing twinkle twinkle little star was a high light)

There was dancing

There were props

There were tears.

We just love our family so much and are having thee best time together.

Family Reunion IV

(July 2019)

Today was everyones favorite day...Farm Day.

We stayed home and played outside the entire day.

The bounce house was pulled out.

Popcicles were eaten.

The kids were in heaven!

There was corn hole

ax throwing and bad-mitten,

there was archery

volleyball, berry picking...

you name it.

As the sun went down we had a good ol' cookout.

hotdogs, veggies, fruit, chips...

We even sang Happy Birthday to grandpa when the moon came up

The night ended with a tractor ride around the farm and sparklers parading like we were celebrating the fourth of July.

It was such a awesome day!

Family Reunion III

(July 2019)

Today was the day our family wore our matchy matchy shirts and hit the Freedom Trail in Boston.

My mom gave everyone an assignment for the Freedom Trail.

Each grandkid was assigned a monument or statue that they had to tell us about it.

Miles had to talk about the Old North Church where he told everyone "this is the church where Paul Revere said "1 lantern by land, 2 lanterns by sea".

Andie stood in front of this statue and said 'this is a statue of Paul Revere"

She got the loudest applause.

All the kids did fabulous.

We stopped for lunch at the Boston Gardens and had a picnic.

We had an impromptu 3 legged race and Romney and I still got it.

We won!

(the Link kids)

Lane found the ducklings.

back to the trail.....

We walked and walked and walked.

We stopped and stopped and stopped.

We went through cemeterys, walked through homes, churches, parks and landmarks.

We learned about our founding fathers and their families and what took place for our country to get started.

Our feet were so tired!

But we LOVE BOSTON!

(and our shirts were a hit! everyone looked at us and asked so many questions!)

We were able to go to Plimoth Plantation for the day. This is where America started. It was so beautiful. We loved walking around the village and learning how things were when the Pilgrims settled. We visited with the native Indians and loved seeing all the chickens wander around. It was such a hot day but we all loved it!
