Boston!!

Okay -- get ready for picture overload... Never trust Sean with the camera. He goes crazy taking pictures, and then I can't decide which ones to post, so I end up posting WAY too many... I'm sure the grandparents won't complain, though. :-)

We took the kids to Boston for the day on our way to Wareham for the weekend. Got to meet up with Mommy's friend, Marilyn, and her 3 beautiful children. What a fun morning! Bummer that the Frog Pond was closed for cleaning, but we still managed to find lots to do.

First we rode the carousel. Is that my lovebug in the mirror??

Brienne wasn't so sure about the carousel at first, but in no time fell in love with it. Every time the horse went up, she exclaimed "YAY!!" with a big smile on her face. She had never made that sound before, which made it all the more priceless!

This kid takes everything SO seriously! :-)

A picnic snack.

Practicing for the Boston Marathon.

Brienne loves to show us what's in her mouth. Nice manners....

Colm & Aiden went for a ride in the tea cup the next time around.

Katie had a blast!

After our friends departed, we made a quick visit to see Make Way for Ducklings. One of Brienne's most favorite things are ducks....however....if you can tell from the expression on her face and her hands which are in the steering position, she was actually "driving" this duck. Maybe she thought we said "truck"???

Aiden searches for the Make Way for Ducklings page in his Goodnight Boston book.

Riding the Mamma Duck.

Next stop -- Swan Boats! Taking a little rest with Daddy while waiting in line. Boy was it HOT!

Goodbye, Boston! Thank you for sharing a wonderful day.
