The 4th of July in Boston...

Boston sure knows how to throw a 4th of July party! We spent the 4th of July on the banks of the Charles River with 500,000 Bostonians, The Boston Pops, and Neil Diamond. They shot off the fireworks from a barge in the middle of the Charles River after everyone watched the performances and sang together "Sweet Caroline." It was pretty cool to hear everyone singing it together. Just as an FYI, "Sweet Caroline," by Neil Diamond, has been a tradition to sing in the middle of the 8th inning at Fenway Park since earlier this decade.

Coulson enjoyed waving his American Flag and showing his patriotism. One funny thing that we learned is that all Mormons like Jell-O. At least that is what a girl sitting next to us from New York informed us that she learned in her religious studies courses in college. We were a little interested to know what other interesting facts she learned from her professors. But in the defense of her professor, Jell-O is very tasty! It is colorful, jiggly, wiggly, and fun to squish around in your mouth. (in case you are wondering I wrote this so no one thinks my wife is weird writing about Jell-O.) She is just in denial about her Mad Mormon love for that wiggly goodness! Just ask Bill Cosby, I heard he is Mormon too. Or maybe he just likes Jell-O.
