Patty Tinant and grandkids Raken and Takorah flew to Mansfield, MA to visit Patty’s family. Lucas and Becky Tinant and family drove there, and Marshal Tinant and Hanna Wade joined the group also. They enjoyed going to the beach on Cape Cod and hit the sports scene by attending a Red Sox game, and going to the Patriots Hall of Fame. A highlight for Raken was getting David Ortiz’s autograph on a baseball! Great family time!

Thank You
