Make Way for Ducklings - our last Boston weekend!

Today we decided to go into Boston for our last weekend here and do something classic: we visited the public gardens to see the "Make Way for Duckings" statue and ride the swan boats. My Titi Arlyn insisted so much it was an activity not to be missed, that we made it out there this morning. We are SOOOOO glad we did! We had an absolutely fabulous day!

Me with my ducklings!

Matteo loved petting each one of the ducks and saying "duck, duck" as he did it. It is one of his few words, so he was thrilled to see so many ducks everywhere!

Sweet boys!

At the Swan Boats dock.

Here we go! The ride is a peaceful, 15 minute loop around the small lake. Matteo was crabby and sleepy, but the rest of us really enjoyed it.

Sebastian liked all the ducks and even saw some swans.

Matteo....well....he just wanted to sleep. Poor kid. His parents make him do so many things! He eventually go out of his funk and started enjoying the day.

Swan boats.

Once he was happier he chased the squirrels for more than 15 minutes!

We had a picnic lunch and Matteo loves playing with juice boxes now. They are a special treat when we have picnics. He loves his juice!

Yummy!

What a beautiful day! Farewell, Boston! Sunday we will be having a BBQ with our relatives in the area and saying more goodbyes!
