Visit from the Yosts

JoDee & Brandon treated us with a visit last weekend! We always love visiting with them -- they are such good, fun, and inspiring people. And to top it off, Henry loves playing with Olivia, and Ellis is obsessed with Baby Ben. All around, a good combination! Here's what I like: talking and talking and talking; singing while JoDee plays the piano; finding people who are cool enough to play Power Grid with us. And lots of other things.

These two get along famously, much to our delight.

Bunker Hill Monument. Who would have thought we have never really visited this place? We didn't even know you could climb to the top of the monument and peek out the window (Yes, Henry recited the poem, "I'm the king of Bunker Hill/and I can fight, and I can kill/ 'cause I'm the king of Bunker Hill"). It was really fun, and lovely to wander around Charlestown afterward.

The caravan headed out to Old Ironsides.

Henry changed his mind (for about 5 minutes): he wants to be a sailor when he grows up!

For about a week after our trip Olivia kept saying..."Mom, that was a really tall tower!" I still think you're a rock start for not getting too sore. We had such a lovely time with you, thanks again! Olivia has really been missing Henry. She wrote him a letter a few days ago we need to get in the mail. Her birthday is the end of the month and she'd love to have him at the party. I know its a long ways and I told her it was too far away for Henry to come, but if it happened to work out, we'd love to have you!

I am surprised you never have been up this! Autumn and I climbed it, and we are the most novice Boston visitors. It was fun though. Glad you got on Old Ironsides. That's the only thing I missed in Boston - closed for the day or some other such nonsense.
