Traveling back to Boston

On our drive from Chicago to Boston we stopped in Michigan, of course, to see our family. It was so nice to spend time with them this summer---we loved having family close by!!

 We joined Dave's sister Rachel at a music in the park event. This is just a cute shot of Dave and Marcus playing.

 We went to icecream afterwards. Here's Marcus and Blake, patiently waiting :)

 Marcus is Dave's shadow in a lot of things, especially tennis. He loves tennis!!

 Practising his swing.

 Marcus and his cousin Ava---she is so sweet and nice to him. She was pretending to be his horse, I think :)

Marcus and his cousin Blake playing the piano together :)


We also stopped by Kirtland, Ohio on the way home. Kirtland is where the first LDS temple was built, in this dispensation. It isn't owned by the church anymore, but it is well-maintained by another organization and they offer tours. So we made a quick stop. And we stayed with our friends Lynsee and Mike that night, in Rochester. They've been so nice to host us a few times!!

We were very happy to get back to our belongings in Cambridge. We arrived back right when our sub letters were leaving. We had to wait for them (our fault, not theirs) to leave too. So we went to one of our favorite place, Bertucci's! It was where we ate the first night we moved here too :). Happy to be back!
