Happy 4th of July!

David, the girls and I flew to Boston today for a two week stay up north. Somehow the fourth of July is so much more — Patriotic — up here. Red, white and blue just looks right!

This picture was taken by our pastor and friend Todd Mullins while he and his family are on vacation in Seattle today. I’m pretty sure that his son, Jefferson, got to choose what we’d see of the original “mother ship.” Notice Walle!

The Mullins’ version of the first Starbucks!

Tonight we will be in Marblehead, Massachusetts watching the Boston fireworks from the other side of Boston Harbor. New experience with new friends! The video is a short clip from last year’s fireworks, when it was also kind of rainy. So far just overcast today! Happy Fourth of July, everyone.
