He thinks he is sooo cool in it..Last Saturday Lexi had her "friend party". For the second year, she chose to rent out the movie theatre again. We decorated the kids rooms on the eve of their birthdays so that when they woke up they had a few decorations to see...

Miley wiped out at the end of the day...
For Will's birthday on the 9th, I took him and his friend Abbie out for lunch, to a playland and then to a park for dinner. They were so much fun to hang out with..their conversations are priceless. Will at the park on his 4th birthday.

Boston...

A few weeks ago, I went to visit our corporate office in North Andover Massachusetts. I flew in to Boston where my boss and a few co-workers met me and the plant managers from Florida and Wisconsin to do some sight seeing. We didn't have a whole lot of time, but got to see some the things that are historical to the city of Boston. I was very thankful that all of these people that took time out of their personal time to let me see a little of Boston since it was my first visit.

The Boston Celtics StadiumI was told that this beautiful bridge also lights up at night.We visited Faneuil Hall/Marketplace. It has small vendors (shown below), high end shopping and wonderful restaurants.

Although a bad picture, I am told this pastry shop is a staple of the market place in Boston. You can't visit this area of Boston without stopping in. The lines are out the doors on most weekends just to get a little taste of this popular pastry shop.

The inside of the pastry shop...busy for a Wednesday night.
The oldest liquor store...We went to the "north end" and ate at this great Italian restaurant.

Most of the businesses have a window out front that is fully removed when the weather if favorable. This if from the outside..and view from the inside...Boston humor..The Connah Store (Corner Store)..lolThe HR team...Jane, Carolyn and me..The home Paul Revere grew up in...Notice the old cobblestone roads...

My view from the airplane as we were leaving Boston...
