The luncheon afterwards

It was very special to have some friends and family there to celebrate with us.  We also had the Rodriguez's in Aachen online watching, along with Robby's family........ and other family perhaps?  
Let us know if you got to be there too!  We'd love to know who could come virtually. :)

Huge thank you to the Moms!  They worked hard to wash all the fruit and put together all the sandwiches.

These darling wreaths were handmade by Tearsa


After the baptism and all the clean up, we went to the Robert Frost Farm for a poetry walk.





The kids were delighted by these friendly dogs.


This gentleman is a huge log lover and said that he changed his occupation to groom dogs after denying it as his "calling" for many years.  He said he LOVES going to work now.

On Sunday, we went to WALDON POND


Henry David Theuroux 's Cabin Replica



On Monday Maya, Scott, Tim and Janice went for a tour of MIT




They also did part of the FREEDOM TRAIL in BOSTON


On Tuesday, Maya spent the morning working with Scott at UMass Lowell.
