So this weekend was just a little busy. Coralie and Harry and family dropped in on Thursday night and stayed right through the weekend. It was a lot of fun having the kids running around our house and we did a lot together. We ended up going to the pool, beach and even downtown on Friday for the July Fourth thing. It was really neat being down on the Esplanade and watching the Boston Pops do their thing, followed by one of the most spectacular displays of fireworks I’ve ever witnessed. According to the announcements, there was around 600,000 people packed into those few square miles so you can imagine how packed it was and how much fun it was dashing back to the train for the reverse ride. 🙂 No, it was. Really! Remind me that the beaches in New Hampshire are every bit as good as the beaches in Rhode Island for next time I want to be adventuresome. Oh yes, Shawn & Lynn and family came through as well so that made for a fun picnic lunch. No house success yet. Smile. 🙂

I suppose the big change this week is that I’ve added a bunch of pictures from trips that Heidi and I have taken over the past year. I’ve also changed some of the back-end to allow me to add new categories and pictures quite easily. Hopefully, you will see a lot more picture updates than I have been doing. Hey! Guess what I got? A skateboard. I was out this week to the local park here in Waltham with a couple of ramps and a tonne of funboxes and various street stuff. This week, I hope to get over to Framingham which has a 12 foot vert ramp as well as a 6 foot “mini” that is 32 feet weide … Should be lots of fun. We’re continuing on our search for the house, but we haven’t found anything yet. Smile!

Has it ever been hectic? Since getting back from the bike trip, Heidi and I have had people over several times as well as going up to Maine to Jen’s graduation. This past weekend, we drove ten hours from Boston up to Parry Sound and enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing time up at Heather and Craig’s cottage. I heard it rained all weekend here in Boston, but we were able to just sit out on the dock and soak up the sun as well as waterskiing and swimming at the cottage. Ten hours is a long way to go for the weekend, but it was definitely worth the drive and I would do it again. Check back next week to see the new functionality I’m working on. It will allow me to easily upload the pictures from all these events so that you can “see” what is actually happening … Smile.
