Last entry on family visit.

A view of the Charles River. This was such a beautiful sight. We had a good view of Beacon Hill from here. There were a group of people learning to sail boats. It was fun to get pictures with the boats and the Boston skyline.
My mom and dad looked cute sitting by eachother.
I really loved giving Lincoln time to be with his Grandma and Grandpa.
The walk up to Bunker Hill.This was a fun place to visit. The kids loved playing on the steps. The day was absolutely beautiful for a walk outside.I have to admit right now that I am horribly out of shape. My dad was awesome, he carried P-man on his shoulders pretty much the whole way (except the first three steps Parker took by himself). I carried Lincoln up until about step 150. I was exhausted. There were 294 steps. My mom was incredible, she took Lincoln the rest of the way. I really need to work on my endurance.One thing I have loved about Boston are all of the Firehouses. They are so beautiful. I try to take pictures whenever I can. I love to point out the Firehouses to Parker as we drive by.On the freedom trail we found this fun fountain. We took a little break to feed some little kids and wait for the rest of our party. The boys had fun putting things in the water such as their bottles or sippy cups. Here's my mom in front of the Paul Revere statue. Did you know that Paul Revere was caught and then released later in the night without his horse. I have learned a lot about our American history and I am very grateful for those who fought and do fight for America.

Okay, Krista--you are NOT our of shape! The hill up to the monument is a climb in itself and then you have to climb a gazillion stairs to get to the top! I think you should call yourself superwoman. You've got some great pictures capturing Boston! I LOVE the one with the sailboats in front of the skyline. :)
PS--you're moving to Portugal?!!
