The church we've been going to is right in downtown Boston and so after church every week we stay for a little while and hang out in Boston Common or go get lunch nearby. Today was a
beautiful Spring day and we had such a great time! After playing at the playground and having a little lunch, we walked over to the Boston Public Garden which I've been wanting to explore. I was so content watching the girls play with their sticks in the water, watching the ducks and all the people [
lots of people]. I borrowed
Make Way for Ducklings from the library this week as our copy is in storage. So neat to be there where it takes place! Edie wasn't interested, but Vera and I pored over it tonight, noticing where we sat, the State House, the bridge, the boats ... such beautiful illustrations and so fun to have the connection :)
The island the ducks in the story live on is just to the right of the boat:
walking back through Boston Common. Ben wanted a picture with the girls, but Edie would only get this close. She was passing through nap time and feeling a little delirious I think:
