Visitors to Boston

This past weekend, my sister came to visit us with her 2 girls, Reagan and Ruth. Poor, weary travelers, they got into Boston 4 hours late on Thursday after 11pm! But they were troopers and were ready for a trip to Crane Beach on Friday. It's about an hour's drive from our house, but a lovely spot. We thought it was going to be cool and cloudy and didn't even bring suits for the girls. When we got out of the van, I was a little chilly and was a bit bummed, but about 15 mins after we got there, the sun broke through the clouds and it was an absolutely perfect day at the beach. Sunny, but not too hot. The kids had so much fun playing and splashing in the water. They were quite sandy and soaked by the time we left!

On Saturday we went into Boston. Took the T just so Reagan could have a thrill. We toured the New England Aquarium, had lunch at Quincy Market, rode the water taxi over to the USS Constitution and walked over to the Bunker Hill Monument. Unfortunately it was closed, so we hiked back over to the the North End for some dinner and pastries. We were gone entire day 8am-6pm with 3 adults and 4 children, three of which were under 2! However, the Hall and Reifenberger children are troopers and all did great! We were all pretty pooped when we got home, but had a fantastic time. On Sunday we took it easy, went to church in the morning and Jaime and I did a little shopping in the afternoon. I dropped them off at the airport on my way to work on Monday morning. I was pretty sad to see them go. We had such a fun time! Enjoy some pics from the weekend.
