Trip to Boston

Last week we had a fantastic trip to Boston. Alex had to go for work, so Hailey and I tagged along and Alex's sister Diana and her baby Josie joined us as well. We had a great time in Manchester, NH and ate some great fish and chips and chinese food. On our way to Boston we stopped at a really fun place called Kimball Farms and had homemade icecream, rode bumper boats, and checked out the goats. In Boston we were able to meet up with our good friends Joel and Kristy, and meet their new baby boy Thomas. We also got to spend some time with my Dad and Gail for lunch and a walk about the Boston Public Gardens.

We did a lot of fun stuff, but mostly we enjoyed being out of Phoenix. The New England area is absolutely beautiful this time of year. It was so green and the weather was perfect. It was a little depressing coming back to the desert, but really had a great trip and enjoyed seeing everyone. Here's a lot of pictures:

That last one is so cute. I sure wish we could see each other more often (than once every two year or more)!

I love Hailey's hair! I don't think I've ever realized how curly it is. Absolutely love it!
