SGS Beantown Visit

At the beginning of July Brittney and Chelsie came to spend a week with us! We had a blast with them and so enjoyed having them in Boston with us. I think we've convinced them to move...but I'm not so sure we've convinced their parents! There are tons of pictures from the week...but it gives you the full experience of their time with us. Love these girls so much!

Leaving for the airport in Durham...EARLY on July 1!
Waiting on their plane...
and they made it!!!
Breakfast their first day at Ball Square Cafe...the best place ever!
My kids love Brittney and she loves them!
Their second day we headed into the city...fun times!
These are my two nannies...just got to get them back up here for good!
Me and my girls waiting on the T
Chelsie's first time on a subway train

Back on the subway...we spent the day in the city, went to
PF Chang's for dinner and had Jon serve us. It was a great day!
Day 3...on our way to Wrigh'ts Pond...our "beach" in Medford!
At Wright's Pond...had fun playing in the sand!
Group Shot (Jon was at work)
Day 3...On our way to Fenway for a Sox game!!!
The Millers kept the kids for us so the four of us could enjoy the game!
Jon didn't have a ticket yet and planned on getting the girls to help him out!
Help him they did...they scored him a ticket for $20...
Cost of ticket...$20
Face Value of his ticket...$125
Having two beautiful 16 year old girls get you a great deal on a ticket...PRICELESS!

Sistas!The view from Jon's fourth row seat!

Fenway!
Great night at the game!
We got home from church on Sunday and while I was cooking lunch I noticed a fire under our neighbor's back porch. Jon went to check it out, Brittney gave him our fire extinguisher and he tried putting it out. It never really went all the way out, so we called the fire department. They came and made sure everything was out...the house was fine, just some damage under their porch.
Deuces!
We had a cookout for the 4th at the Miller's.
The kids enjoyed popsicles after dinner!
Going to watch fireworks on the Charles River
My girls!!! Love them!!!
The fireworks were amazing!!!
Back to Wright's Pond again...Monday, July 5th.
Tuesday, July 6th...Harvard...here they come!
The girls decided this is where they would be coming for college!
On the steps of the library...
Gotta love the fanny packs!
We left Harvard and went to the aquarium...this was the "petting pool."
In front of a tank...
loved the penguins!
We had to take the commuter rail back home.
Our new favorite picture pose at our house...thanks to the girls!
Deuces has become Ava's default...she does it more than she says "cheese!"
Wednesday, August 7...Winthrop Beach
We saw tons of baby hermit crabs!
The kids loved the beach!
We walked along these rocks that jutted out into the ocean!
My sweet girl!
