April School Vacation

April vacation started off Monday morning (4/21) with a pre-dawn jaunt -- for Britt and Beau -- to Lexington to watch the reenactment of the Battle at Lexington (first skirmish of the Revolutionary War).



As always, fighting broke out and the British Regulars left a handful of killed and wounded Minutemen on Lexington Common. (The Regulars then carried on to the bridge at Concord where they were out-manned and from which they then retreated, running all the way back to Boston amid sniper fire.)



That night, we had a seder.



Later in the week, the kids each got to go to another baseball game at Fenway with Britt. The Red Sox won the night Casey went but lost the next night when Beau went.



The weather was really nice during vacation week, so one outing was to mini golf and ice cream.



The next day we went roller blading.



Friday of vacation week was our wedding anniversary. I don't remember why, but we couldn't summon the energy to go out, so we had dinner at home with the kids.



The weekend was the start of the week-long Cambridge City Science Festival. On Sunday we went to the MIT museum where Casey built a model of the world's largest snowman and Beau got to dismantle a vacuum cleaner.





Monday, the kids went back to school...
