Day 2 in Boston

We spent the second day visiting more sites of the revolution. We started at Lexington Green where the "shot heard round the world" was fired and the very first colonists were killed by the king's army. The spot is shown below. Each year on April 19, they re-enact the confrontation.

This is sitting outside the tavern where the minutemen waited for the call to arms against the approaching red coats.

This house was Jonathan Harrington's home which was here in 1775 during the confrontation. Jonathan Harrington was shot that morning by the read coats and crawled to his front porch shown here and died in his wife's arms.

Day 1 in Boston

Dallin and I arrived in Boston last night and Mom was already here. We had a fun day today with the kids. We went to the famous Walden Pond where Henry David Thoreau lived at one with nature for a couple of years and started his famous writings. The weather was over 90 degrees and we enjoyed playing in the water and soaking up the sun.

After that, we went to the Old North Bridge in Concord where the first shots of the revolutionary war were fired.

Heather's Birthday

Heather came home this weekend so we could celebrate her 23rd birthday with her. We've really been enjoying having her home.

Easter Sunday

Just got home from church and couldn't help but capture the family - what's left of us - in our Easter outfits.
