Our Fun Trip to Boston/Happy Birthday Janelle

Since Janelle, Scott and Alan now live so close in Boston, we decided it would be so fun to go up there over the President's Day weekend. Grandma was also able to come with us. In fact, since Ginny's paw was taking a little longer than ususal to heal, we ended up taking her and her crate along, too. It was a full car and the weather in Boston was soooo cold, but we still had a wonderful trip. Janelle's birthday is Feb. 22 so we even got to celebrate with her a few days early.

We loved being able to see their awesome house and playing ball with Alan in the basement.....SWISHHH, SWISHHH, Ahhh BISSSSS!!!!! We went to the Harvard Museum of Natural History, attended church with them at the Weston Second Ward, and also got to attend a session at the Boston Temple. At the temple, who should check us in but Brother Chatfield. He had served with his wife as a senior couple missionary in Albania with our son, Geoffrey. We knew he was from the Boston area, but never thought about the fact that we would see him there. Steve had some fun by asking him how he liked serving in Vlore, Albania on his mission. He looked at Steve a little funny and said..."I liked it very much." After explaining that we were Geoffrey's parents it was so fun to talk to him about the mission, the Phillies-Red Sox rivalry, etc. We got to meet Sis. Chatfield after our session. Such nice people!
What a fun filled weekend! Thanks for your hospitality Robertson family. We hope to see you all again soon.
