After such a wonderful weekend in Vermont we came back to Boston to explore with Mom and Dad. Our first stop was the temple. We had worked on a lot of family names so we were able to take them to the temple and seal a large part of Jennifer's side of the family together. It was an amazing two hours.

After the temple we headed back to the apartment to change and then ventured out into the city. We went to the library first and spent the majority of our time exploring its unique features and then we went to the North End for some seafood and Italian pastries.
Wednesday we went apple picking at Honey Pot Hill Orchards and had a lot of fun. I have been in a baking mood so I was really looking forward to some fresh apples so I could make some yummy fall desserts. When we got there Dad was super excited to find a little creature running up to him. It was almost like the chipmunk wanted him to pet him, but it turned out that Dad was standing on top of his hole. As soon as he walked away the chipmunk ran in.
We wanted to find the best apples to bake and cook with, so we were told to pick the Cortland apples. We taste tested them just to be sure they were good and they were YUMMY! Don't know why Nick and I look angry as we were eating. Must be all the intense energy required to savor these fantastic fruits. I promise we really enjoyed the apples.
While we were there we also had some warm apple cider donuts. The first time we heard of these donuts was at the Deerfield Fair and they were so delicious we had to have them again. We also grabbed some apple cider and a small pumpkin for the road.
Mom and Dad's visit was definitely a treat for us and we enjoyed their company. We can't wait for their next visit so we can go explore Maine!
We had a great time together! Family time=fun time and great memories!
