Before heading back to Utah our last stop in New England was Boston. Rachel learned a little about the American Revolution and Paul Revere in first grade so we wanted her to see Paul Revere's home and the Old North Church.
Our first night in Boston we stopped at the Fire Museum on our way down to Faneuil Hall to eat dinner. The kids had fun trying on the fireman gear and were thrilled to take home their own red plastic fireman hats.
The next day we walked through the Boston Common and stopped at the playground before taking the Freedom Trail over to the North End. Boston is a beautiful city now that the Big Dig is finally behind them. Its amazing to see all the green grass and open space that was once the Central Artery going through the city! The increase in tourism is a testament to the new beauty of Boston.

Rachel had her first piano recital in August. She played about half a dozen pieces and did a wonderful job. She is getting to be quite a pianist!
The first day of school! Summer sure flew by...
