08.21.2009 Pilgrim Progress

Another great photo opportunity! Amy from my photo club set this up. I have to say it was much more interesting than I even thought it would be. The pilgrim were so willing to get their pictures taken in my favorite garden!

Pilgrim Progress was a reenactment of the Pilgrims’ procession to worship. Costumed participants, who represent the survivors of the first harsh winter of 1621, were assemble to the beat of a drum and then the progress proceeded along the waterfront, up Leyden Street to the site of the first fort on Burial Hill, where the Pilgrims met for worship. The Psalms sung are taken from The Book of Psalmes by Henry Ainsworth, which was used by the Pilgrims in Holland and in Plymouth. The passages read by Elder Brewster are from Governor Bradford’s History of Plimoth Plantation. After a brief worship service, the march continued down the hill to Main Street, ending back at the Mayflower Society House.

08.18.2009 Bryn Visits from PA

We have been looking forward to Bryn and the kids visit for months. From time to time Dani would ask, "When will it be August so I can see Mykena, Adyson, Bryn and Rob?" Unfortunately Rob couldn't make it this time, but he was missed.

It turned out to be a wonderfully warm day and everyone, including Leah (Mykena and Adyson's friend) had a blast at the pool. A few of my favorite highlights were Mykena jumping in the pool with Bryn and Patrik, watching Adyson and Dani swimming, and Danika playing with all the girls hair. She loved Leah's hair and her flip flops.

What a day to remember!
