Patriots' Day

Today is Patriots' Day in Massachusetts. It is a holiday to commemorate the Battle of Lexington and Concord (the first battle of the Revolutionary War). Not only is it a nice day off from school and work (for some...), but more importantly it is the day the Boston Marathon is run.

The Marathon goes by about a block from our house (we are about 3 miles from the finish line, which is just a few blocks from Mike's office). So, today Henry and I got to spend some time watching the marathoners go by.





Cheering for the runners:




Clapping for the runners:



Apparently the Marathon was VERY exciting for Henry, since we are now an hour into his nap time and he is still sitting up, loudly singing the alphabet song, and generally not sleeping. Send some sleep vibes our way...
