The actual 4th of July was a little anticlimactic after all the excitement the night before. The day was cool and pouring rain, but we tried to take advantage of the weather and have a nice, laid back day. In the afternoon, we were supposed to attend a BBQ at a friend's house in their backyard, but it was moved indoors. In spite of the rain, we had a great time.
The absolutely beautiful weather the following day totally made up for the rain on the 4th, and we headed downtown to meet our friends to ride the Swan Boats and splash in the water at Frog Pond on the Boston Common. It couldn't have been a more perfect afternoon in our perfect city. In the immortal words of The Standells, We love that dirty water--Boston you're our home. Living in this city can be such a dream sometimes.

Our month started out fun and carefree, and then the weeks following were super busy and crazy. Not only were we counting down to our vacation with Dallin's family in the Outer Banks, we have been simultaneously counting down for a very special wedding: Harper and Hunter's Uncle Ben will be getting married to the lovely Aunt Vivi in just a few days! So there has been a lot to accomplish and plenty of items to cross off our to-do list in preparation for these fun events. Of course, all work and no play is just no fun… Plus, we simply don't have the attention span for that. So here's what we have been doing when we need a break:
Learning our letters |
Double trouble at the grocery store |
Fashion show: bib couture |
Little yoga |
Downward Facing Dog |
Stay tuned for the full report on our amazing vacation and what's sure to be amazing wedding weekend!
