Amy and I went to high school with a girl named Michelle
Blank. She was a year younger than us, but she and Amy
were good friends for a long time. Michelle has since
moved to Texas with her boyfriend (husband?), but they were back
in Boston at the same time and arranged a visit. |

Couple of different items on the 18th... apparently a
lunch or dinner with Amy's family and some Children's museum
action maybe? (This is what I get for not going... I have
no idea about some of the pictures that come back.)

Here are a couple of videos of them sitting around the table:

On this day, Amy and the kids visited with my family
(mother's side). Looks like they went out to eat at
Bertucci's and later went back to Glenda's house. |

This picture is from later on that night back at Amy's parent's
house, but it was nice so I included it. |

Grandma (Liz), Diane, Glenda, Jarod and Mark. |
There's grandma and her grandsons... so cute. |
Glenda, Jarod, Mark, Patrick and Jan. |

On the 20th, there was a get-together at my father's
house. It was mainly my immediate family, but my Aunt
Chris and her wife Glenda came over with their brood as well.
Afterwards, they went back to Amy's parents house and then out
for some food. |
My dad, my brother, my son, my brother, my son. |
Oh, and the rabbit... forgot the rabbit. |
My brother's then-girlfriend Karen is on the left... obviously. |
And the last couch shot: my sons and brother... and Sam & Gabe
join the group! |
Dunkin' Donuts. Oh how I miss the Dunkin' Donuts.
Somehow they're just not popular in OR. |
Elaine is here in the middle between Karen and Dan. |
My father holds his newest niece, my cousin, Annie Rose, sister
to Sam & Gabe. She is about 4.5 months old in that
picture. |
Here she is again with mom, Glenda. |
Yu-Gi-Oh! |

Here's a short vid of Patrick taking a swing.

After all that baseball, uncle Mike is a tired fellow. |
Here's Patrick just chillin'. Just like Mike! |
Eventually the kids got up some energy and went for a ride. |
They're using Peter's old bikes. They did very well given
the size. |
And here's a special treat... my father showing off. ;-)

They got new baseball mitts from either my brother or father. |
They're quite nice and we use them still today. |
Here's Patrick and Po Po entranced by something. |
 |
These are Amy's brothers Al and Allen... both really nice guys. |
 |
|
|
OK, Allen's a bit nutty... |

You don't see many farms in the Northeast... at least,
not where I'm used to hanging out. But apparently there's
this one. And my mom brought the kids. Later they
retired to the pool by their apartment. Looks like fun! |
|
Apparently these animals get a lot of visitors. Check out
this video:
Here they come...

Amy and the kids went with Po-Po and Gung-Gung up to Old
Orchard Beach, Maine. Looks like they had a great time! |

Another visit to my father's house. Some more
baseball and another visit with my grandmother Rita... the boys'
great-grandmother! |

The kids went fishing with Amy's family! I'm not
sure where this is or if they caught anything, but apparently it
was quite the experience. |

Looks like the kids were in downtown Boston and met up
with both my family and Amy's family. |
That's my aunt Joan in the middle. |
And there are the boys with Elaine. I have no idea where
this was. |
These are the Boston Duck Tours. Amphibious vehicles take
you around town and then into the water. You can see Amy's
mom behind Jarod. |
Amy's dad and two brothers are on the tour with them. |
 |
 |
 |
Looks like they're outside the Museum of Science here. |

Amy took the kids by Somerville High School for a quick
picture. The banner on the right shows that the school is
152 years old. That's older than the state of Oregon.
