Boston

On Friday Terry was nice enough to take us all to Boston and show us some sites.  Our first stop was the USS constitution.
We waited and took a guided tour of the boat.  It was neat because the ship is still Naval property and everyone who worked there including the tour guides were active duty Navy.





After our tour and a quick stop at the museum we took a ride on a water taxi.


We saw a bunch of ships in the harbor that were coming in for Boston's Fourth of July celebration.



By then everyone was hungry so we stopped at a big indoor market to eat and shop.



Then walked around town to see some sites including Paul Revere's house, his statue, North Church, and Bunker Hill.

Airport

On Thursday we said goodbye to Miles and headed to the San Antonio airport with Grammy, Grandpa, and Uncle Ry and headed to Rhode Island!



Corpus Christi

On Sunday we packed everything back in the car and headed to Corpus Christi.  We got a few things done that we needed to (like registering the van there so we don't get killed by California taxes), but mostly just enjoyed hanging out with the family.
Park loves her Uncle Ry, but Dally took a little convincing.
Grammy had no problem with her though.
Hank and Ry wrestled as usual.
We got to see Chloe and Bobby all three nights.  Park had a great time playing with her.

El Paso Part 2

The afternoon we spent visiting Grandma and Grandpa Nesbitt.  I love this picture of Grandpa with a flower that Parker gave him.  Grandma was a very good sport about the girls doing one of their favorite things- picking flowers.
Parker also loves their pet turtles, she has finally gotten brave enough to touch them.  Dally really liked them until they started walking towards her then she would run away screaming.

El Paso

After a grueling 16 hour drive we made our first vacation stop in El Paso.  We spent Saturday morning visiting with Hank's Grandmother, Aunt Linda, Uncle Mike, Kassy and her husband Billy.

It took a little while but Dally finally warmed up and started giving out kisses.

Park had a great time, especially after Uncle Mike taught her to play Tic Tac toe.  She spent most of the visit harassing people to play with her.

The Bowsers

Before we left for Texas we were lucky enough to have the Bowsers come for a visit.  This picture is probably the only 2 minutes that Parker didn't enjoy of their visit, she seriously loves those boys.
Chloe got to practice being a big sister, and she did really well!

Ally held Henry most of the night and Henry loved it- he had no problem snuggling right up to her.
Thanks for coming to visit us- we miss you guys!
