Miss Caroline's trip to Boston

Alright my fellow teammates, Kaly told me I could cut and paste this post right into the team's blog and look, it worked. Now, this is awesome that we have a blog but everybody has to post. I'm talking to you, you know who you are, the ones who probably aren't going to post anything on this fabulous blog, well everybody has to contribute - right guys? Do I hear a "Hey-Ho-hip-hop-hooray-ho?"

Don't be jealous, teammates, that Caroline and I spent some quality weekend time together. She and her 7-month new husband were in from LA this past weekend. Brian is with the Air Force and comes to the base out here quite a bit, but this was the first time Caroline was able to come - and the first that I was able to meet her awesome husband, Brian . . . he's a keeper. While Brian was working during the day, Caroline and I would play. Our first stop was the North Bridge where:

"By the rude bridge that arched the flood,

Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,

Here once the embattled farmers stood

And fired the shot heard round the world."

Look at the beautiful clouds in the water - perty eh?
Besides the crash that Porter had on his bike, the scuffed-up knee, and the tears that were shed throughout the Ranger's entire presentation, it was a pleasant outing.

Then onto the Orchard House, home of Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women. Caroline is a big fan of the book/movie and even recognized the rug and bedspread that look identical to the rug and bedspread in the movie. They are not the same, but they copied every detail for the movie. The house still has 80% of the original furnishings. All of the workers there were Little Women and Caroline and I asked if you had to be little to get a job there. They chuckled as they cranked their necks to look up at us. It was a delight to haul around with a fellow tall chic I must say.

On Monday we headed to the Revere Beach Sand Sculptures. Although it has rained for like a week straight, the sculptures are still standing. They are just amazing.

This one won first place.

My kids loved Caroline. When Caroline helped them jump the waves once, they wouldn't let her stop. We also were able to have Brian and Caroline over for Sunday dinner which was just so great to catch up with Caroline and get to know Brian. They're awesome.

Can't wait to see pics of the lil' Rexburg reunion and bbq at Kaly's. take lots-a-pictures!

Love you all.
