4th of July

the evening of july 3rd we ventured to the esplanade to hear the boston pops practice round before the big show on the 4th. the musical guest this year was neil diamond! it was so good so good so good singing 'sweet caroline'. aaron was still in a new york state of mind

for the 4th we rented a canoe and slowly made our way down the charles river. ben was our brave captain who had to steer and deal with some who wanted off the canoebut we finally made it to boston and we anchored near this experienced crew of the nelsons, jessica & janaethe hours in the boat was well worth the amazing front row fireworks show we saw
