Massachusetts Welcomes Idaho

Chris Black and Malley recently visited us from Idaho for an entire week. Since Chris and I (I have taken to calling him my Chris to distinguish between the two) are recently unemployed, we were able to hang out everyday and have awesome East Coat fun.

Naturally, the family took a trip to Water Country and disappointed Logan's wish of "I hope we don't get wet under that waterfall".

We took the two lovebirds out on the boat and my Chris enjoyed whipping Malley and I around on the tube. After a lot of giggling, a wipe out that felt like a cat scratching my face, and Malley almost losing her bathing suit we called it a day.

But that doesn't mean we weren't up for some Candlepin Bowling! We found out that although the balls are much smaller and you get 3 balls instead of 2 each time, the game is no easier than regular bowling and we probably won't go again any time soon. But for the record, I won.

We spent a day in Boston as well, of course, with Mandy as our tour guide and with the three kids as our carry-along entertainment.

There's no better city than Boston to force smootchy pictures on your sister and her boyfriend.

That night we met up with Derek, Geena, and Jeff for dinner and a box of infamous cannolis. Two thumbs up for Boston.

Their last Saturday here, we went blueberry picking and ate lobsters at Mom and Dad's house (an annual event). Dad bought 20 lobsters. That's about 30 pounds of lobster. Awesome.

It was a fantastic week and we were sad to have Malley and Chris, a.k.a. CB, leave.
