4th of July Fun

We had a great 4th of July here in Boston! We started the day with the reading of the Declaration of Independence from the State House in downtown Boston. To be honest, we didn't quite make it in time to the reading because the subway train we were on broke. :(

From the state house we then headed over to Faneuil Hall to hear the Mayor of Boston speak ('zzzz...) and to listen to some festive music.

After hanging out downtown for awhile and eating lunch we then headed home to a Shaler Lane BBQ.

You can't celebrate the 4th without a good fireworks show. Boston has the best show to offer except for the fact that it doesn't start until 10:30 p.m. and it was packed!

Dylan did not want to sit still as we waited for the show... But as soon as the first firework went off I've never seen him sit so still! ~ he got a little scared!

After the fireworks, the subway was so backed up that the boys convinced us girls that it would be faster to walk home. (side note: where we were it usually takes about 15 minutes or longer to get to with a car!!!) An hour and a half later and at 1:00 in the morning we finally made it home! The worst part was the next day at church some friends of ours that ended up taking the subway said it only took 15 mins for them to get home! Thanks boys!:) Needless to say it was a LONG but FUN day!

Strawberry Pick'n Fun

Dylan and I joined some friends and went Strawberry Picking. We had a great time!

When I put Dylan down he immediately started to work- picking and eating the strawberries!

He sat in the field the whole time yelling "Momma!" So cute! :)

Our Strawberries... As Dylan would say: "Mmmm".

G-R-A-D-U-A-T-I-O-N!!

He did it! Christian graduated from Harvard Law School on June 4th. We could not be more proud and appreciative of all of his HARD work and sacrifices!

a

A future Harvard grad?

My view of the ceremony. :) You would think that one of the wealthiest institutions would be able to afford a nice place, where you can actually see, to host graduation...

Our days on Shaler Lane are quickly coming to end. :( We have LOVED being out here in Cambridge and will miss it so much!!
