Lorena's Visit

Again, I have some catching up to do. :)
At the beginning of August my friend Lorena came out to visit for a week.  Anne also stayed with us and we had a great time reminiscing and exploring together.  The first night we stayed up til 3 am talking, and I thought we were sophomores in college again.  And then my kids woke up at the crack of dawn and I remembered that we weren't.  But we had a great time sightseeing and eating healthily. Lorena's in the last few weeks of her competition, so give her a few more words of encouragement on her blog here.  Here are some pics from her visit!

We took a ferry ride out to the Harbor Islands.



And we played on the beach while Anne and Lorena kayaked
It started looking like it was going to rain, so we came in...

And Alan insisted on hula hooping when it was raining lightly.  Then it started to DOWNPOUR!  It was crazy.  And we were stuck on this island and had to catch the ferry back. 

And so we had to trudge through the rain and ended up looking like this. :)

And this.  It was quite an adventure.

At the monument

We went to the Lexington and Concord sites and Alan LOVED the little activities that they had at the Wittemore House.

He would have stayed here all afternoon.

The family at Kimball Farms

And we went to a Red Sox game.  And we were won strike away from winning.   Full count.  Pitch Thrown.  3-Run Homer.   We ended up losing.  Kind of lame, but oh well.  It was still fun.

We also went to York beach in Maine.
And stopped at this light house.


And ate at this yummy seafood restaurant.

You just can't come to Boston and not ride on the swan boats.

And splash in frog pond.
We love it when people visit!  We not only get to spend time with them, but we get out and do all this fun exploring!  Good luck Lorena with the competition!
