Noah has completed his first full year of 4th grade violin. The concert was impressive to see how much they have learned in one year!
We have finished up our school curriculum for the year! For our last day of school we spent the day in Boston taking in some sights of the Revolutionary War to close out our unit on it. The kids and I drove to Boston as soon as Noah's concert was finished, pulling a U-Haul trailer. Our first stop was Ikea to pick up new beds for Noah and James. This was a bit later than I had expected, but the kids held it together to get back to the hotel. I think Gabe was super glad he had to work for this adventure;)
Our first stop was the Boston Tea Party Museum. This was a very well done interactive historical experience. The kids got to participate in a town hall meeting to plan the tea party. They also were able to throw tea crates into the harbor after exploring a cargo ship.
We hopped on the subway and had a snack on the Boston Common while we waited for our tour of the Freedom Trail to begin. We had a fantastic tour guide named Jeremiah Poop (that's right, not a typo). He was so entertaining and tolerant of the barrage of questions from our kids. They did a wonderful job throughout the tour despite the adult nature of it. It was the perfect time to do this kind of tour right after studying the Revolutionary War.
After the tour we ate our bag lunches and unanimously voted to be finished and head home. I am sure everyone was very tired after a late night and full day already! We had a smooth ride home with a full trailer in tow. We are all thrilled to be finished school for the summer... Hello summer vacation!!
