9 Years

The house that John Adams grew up in. Don't mind the construction work.

Peace field- where John and Abigail lived. Very pretty.

The stone library next to the house. It was a very interesting building. It even had the original Mendi Bible given to John Qunicy from the Mendi people! (look it up if you have no clue what that means) :)

 We celebrated our 9 years of being married by visiting the John Adams homesteads...because we're just weird like that. I had always wanted to go there so we thought it would be a fun trip for our anniversary, since the kiddos wouldn't really enjoy a 2 hour tour. It was neat to see where our 2nd President (and the 6th President) lived. We were surprised at how the homes are plopped in the middle of a very busy city, literally right at the door steps.
 It was an interesting and informative trip...just nice to spend the day being together. :)

 And while we were exploring Quincy, our kiddos were having a blast and Nana and Pada's with their cousins, Aunt Can and Uncle Josh!! They played in the sprinkler, went to Mystic and Auntie Can even did some face painting! They had so much fun!!!

Grace, "the horse"

Abs, "the princess"

Noah, "the (ever so thrilled) Elmo"...lol I think he was saying that he wanted an "animal" on his face and Abby thought he said Elmo. His expression says it all.
