Madison at the cabin...hey guys!

Madison and Grandma Evans just chillin on the porch of the cabin.

This is Mesia's famous face...she is so funny!

Weee! Madison goes down slides all by herself. She will climb the steps, sits at the top, and pushes herself down without any help.

This is us at the top of the fire tower...can you imagine the view in the fall!

Mesia and Madison are ready to go kayaking! Aren't they cute in their life jackets?

Here we are in the Kayak...Brian did all the paddling while we sat and chilled in the front:-)

At a cabin on the island down the Connecticut river. Look at Madison:-)

Freedom Trail in Boston

Yesterday we drove to Boston and spent the entire day on the Freedom Trail...a walking tour that takes you to many different historical sites pertaining to the Revolution and this country's quest for freedom from the British. It was fascinating. We could have spent another day. Actually, it wasn't an ENTIRE day because by the time we got the two babies ready (& all of us- with just one bathroom), it was 11:00 before we got away, and it is a two hour drive to Boston. We did have a little "Miracle" in finding a parking place in Boston (which is near to impossible) We just came upon this little piece of land by a service station and several cars were parked there, with no sign that said "NO PARKING", and so we pulled the van in the last spot and parked . However, there was no place for Dan & Clare's car. They drove all around for about 10 minutes, and just when we were ready to give up, a man came and got into one of the cars and drove away! So Dan & Clare pulled in and took his spot. It was so great....it was right where we wanted to start the Freedom Trail and it was free parking! Just a little "Tender Mercy"!

Getting ready to start the walk.

Our first stop was this monument on Bunker Hill...where one of the great battles was held. Over a thousand British troops were killed and 400 patriots. It was here that the commander of the patriots said "Don't shoot until you see the white of their eyes".

I loved this shot. I took it at the base of the monument just as a jet flew by....the sun was just right also.

Walking up inside the monument. It was a circular staircase with 294 stairs!

Madison and Meisa just chillin during the tour.

Someone came up to us at church and said, "Mormons really do have horns."

This is the homestead of the home Joseph Smith was born in.

I love flowers.

Brad and Madison. She loves Brad!

Mesia and Grandma Evans.

Peekaboo I see you!

I love to walk down the steps with help.

Rebecca and Madison at the Joseph Smith Memorial.

Best friends united!

She loves rocks...to eat them that is.

Tamara and Mesia...aren't they cute?

Hi mom! What are you doing?

I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm here!

This is her friend...they were playing on the swings.

"Hey daddy...what are you doing there?"

Look at me...

Other way Madison...you hit the ball with the round part of the racket:-)

This is my little angel.

Just a little bit more...

"Look mommy...I'm walking!"

She is so proud of herself.

This is the baby model from New Hampshire...does she look familiar?

This is my favorite past time! I love to CHEW on rocks, sticks, dirts, gravel, etc. NO BUGS YET!

"He love me, he loves me not."

"How do I get out of here again?"

And I'm off...She now walks all over the place! Yesterday I had her standing by the fence for pictures and today she wouldn't stop walking everywhere...she wouldn't stay in one spot.
