Visitors from Canada!!

My friend Rachel and her hubby Bruce came to visit us this past week... it was a special visit as we had never met Bruce before (we approve!) and we got to personally congratulate them on their 14 week old 'bump'. So excited!! I think we broke them in very gently with showing them how quiet and smoothly our household runs with 3 kids... they actually said they would definitely have more... until they arrived... It was so fun just hanging out with Rachel again, taking them around to explore our sea coast - they live on the opposite end, on Vancouver Island, BC.
So we decided to go to Boston the day that the Boston Marathon was on - not really thrilled about this idea, however the guys took in a Red Sox game and Rachel & I were decided to do a little shopping while the guys enjoyed the game. The store that we really wanted to go to (Anthropology) is directly across the street from the parking garage/Prudential Centre where we parked. Little did we know we had to go down 765 blocks before we could cross the street to get to the other side. We figure we actually did more exercise than the winner of the marathon as we 'walked' for 1.5 hours (yes, that's right!), pushing a stroller and/or holding another child on my shoulders, fighting through the enormous crowds, just to get to our store! To my surprise, Anthropology was closed due to the little race that was going on. I almost through a rock through the window. Then we walked back to our car - only adding an additional hour to our time. By then the game was over and the guys actually beat us back to the parking garage. So much for shopping in Boston.
