Historic Wedding

This weekend we went to a family friend's wedding in Boston. The ceremony was held at the historic King's Chapel. Paul Revere cast the church's bell, which they rang when the couple left the church.
First night out with no kids!
The reception was across the street. Lots of fun dancing and singing with old friends!

Chuck e Cheese

It rained one day while we were at Mimi and Papa's house. So we called Loreta and Will, grabbed the purell, and went to Chuck E Cheese!

Playing skee ball for the first time.
Blake climbed up here and was too scared to climb back down by himself. I had to rescue him.
