Nana's Visit

Each summer we get one week with Nana. It's wonderful to show her our life and share some memories.
Maddie was finishing up vacation bible school so we took the boys into Boston on a spectacular day to ride the swan boats.

Of course, we needed to stop at the Make Way for Ducklings sculptures.
We had a pizza and bowling night at the Windsor Club. Gabriel wasn't too keen on the noise from the bowling balls.
We had high hopes for an adventure to Martha's Vineyard. But, it was 4th of July weekend. We battled traffic and decided that braving a ferry ride would not be in our best interests. So we drove up the Cape Cod coast and had a yummy seafood lunch. Having promised the kids some beach time, we entered a little harbor. Nathan and I just don't get the Cape. It has this allure that we haven't been able to grasp. Maybe after you've experienced California beaches, you get jaded.
Can't get enough of this cute face!
4th of July loves
The best 4th of July gift! We got to see Nathan race. Such a treat to have his mom cheering him on. And he had his best race yet, taking two primes AND winning the whole race! He's the proud recipient of two muffins (one eaten by his cheering section) and a bike pump. It was terribly exciting.
Go Daddy Go!
Let's just say I have new compassion for the cycling girls who present the professional cyclists with flowers and a kiss. Whew - stinky. And Nathan's not Euro!
A celebratory meal at Casa Portugal.
We ended our 4th with Newton fireworks. A very nice display that Maddie and Theo loved. It was Theo's first firework display.
