Oma and Opa in Boston and Halloween visit to the pumkin patch!

Hi all,



We arrived in Boston and are staying with Missy--she is a great hostess.  We met a couple of her co-workers and saw where she works.  Missy likes her job.
Oona, Missy, Fran, and Gertrude

So far we have been on the Boston freedom trail walking tour and a shuttle bus tour.
Our walking tour guide.  He was very informative.

We also visited the Plimoth Plantation which is supposed to be an authentic reproduction of an indian village and pilgrim settlement.  It was interesting.  One of the interesting thing was a collection of about sixty plants and herds, each one supposed to cure some ailment.  Some of our more effective drugs came from some of these plants, but of course not all of them work.
We ate ate lunch at a hole-in-the-wall Belgian restaurant




Yum Yum.  Belgian fries with three kinds of sauce, mushroom cheese and herb crusted chicken sandwiches

Today (Sunday) we went to church with Missy and met many members.  She has a nice ward.


Tomorrow we go on the bus tour to see the fall foilage.  It is already very pretty here.

Tuesday Oma is going to eat a lobster!  We will let you know who wins!


We are doing the traditional punkin patch visit Friday, 14 Oct, 5 Pm at the Day's farm on Gentile road in Layton.  Let Oma know if you will be coming.

We received a letter from Lilli's mission president.  If any of you plan to send Lilli a package for Christmas, it needs to be sent to the mission home and not directly to her:

The package needs to be there by November 28 because they are given out during zone conferences.
