Boston
Boston was awesome! I don't love big cities but Boston was a great place to see and have as a starting point for going on some day trips.
Day 1 - Red Sox Game
We flew in to Boston just in time to grab our rental van and head to the game. Fenway was awesome! I may even be a bit of a Red Sox fan now. Singing "Sweet Caroline" in the 8th inning was pretty cool.
Day 2 - Freedom Trail
Cool historic sites to see along the Freedom Trail. There were lots of cemeteries and even more churches. USS Constitution was cool - what an old ship. We got rained on off and on all day, taking cover for a downpour about half way through the trail. Walking to the top of the Bunker Hill Monument was overrated and looked too much like the Washington Monument for me. We ate at The Barking Crab which was highly recommended. While their clam chowder was awesome, the rest was nothing to write home about.

Day 3 - Whale watching, New Hampshire, and Maine
D had lots of conferencing to do in the morning so I left him and took a whale watching tour. It was totally awesome! I loved it. I was a little worried about getting sick as I have never been on a boat that far out in the ocean but the ride was totally fun. We saw a whale and a few seals and a minky whale. This was probably my favorite part of the trip.
That afternoon we decided to knock some states off of our been to list. We ate dinner in New Hampshire at a hole in the wall place that was delicious! After eating here when in doubt we went with the places that looked like dives. :)
It was on to Maine for the evening and we ended up at York Beach, Maine. There was the most beautiful view of a lighthouse. I was thrilled with York Beach. We walked on the sand and D found some sea urchins or something. Day 3 was an overall amazing day.
Day 4 - D and I took off to New York. We hit a Mets game and then saw the World Trade Center Monument. The monument was the most moving monument I have ever been to. Before the trip we had somehow assumed it was a 2 hour drive from Boston. It was actually 4 hours+ with traffic which made for a long day, but a good day.
Day 5 - I hit some more Boston sites and ate a cannoli (spelling?) from Mike's Pastry that was yummy. That evening we crossed Rhode Island off our list by eating dinner there. Kip's hole in the wall had delicious fish and fries.
That sums up our trip to Boston. I would happily go back. A huge thanks to Clayton and Sandee for watching the kids.

Spruces
Here's a few pictures from our camping adventure this week. Thank goodness we convinced some awesome campers to come with us or we would have missed out on good conversation, rice krispie treats, glo sticks, popcorn, a place for 2 kids to sleep, and lots of other good stuff.
Here's Kenz looking at the crazy raging squirrel. I believe this is the same squirrel that jumped on Clayton and climbed on his chest.
I loved the wildflowers around camp.
Relaxation.
Camping splurge of spray cheese.
Campground dance party.
The start of our moose walk. This is Mason waiting for Sadie to catch up. Sade is not the fastest hiker around. :)
Our moose walk ended up being a wildflower walk. I love wildflowers. This picture doesn't do it justice. There were yellow flowers everywhere. It was awesome.
Camping kids.
Cabin walk. We founds a cool bench to sit on and admire the view.
Learning to play with sharp objects. :) I remember this game called chicken but we weren't sure what it was called. The game where you throw the knife and if it sticks the other person has to move their foot to where it landed.
Good times!

Dang Dog
As I walk around our yard I can't help but laugh at myself cause if I didn't laugh at how much Rambo drives me crazy I'd be crying all the time. Rambo digs ginormous holes everywhere. I'm talking humongous. So every time he digs a hole I fill it back it in and find something to cover it with. Here are a few of my creations.......and sometimes Rambo gets away with a hole.
