Swan Boats!

Nana and I took the kids to Boston Public Gardens this week, a tradition started by my own Nana when I was Sophia's age! It was a beautiful day in the city and we all had a lot of fun. This was Sophia's first ride on the Swan Boats - and Ev's 2nd or 3rd. The "Make Way for Duckling" statues were festively dressed in their Bruins jerseys in honor of the Stanley Cup finals - it was a riot! We packed a picnic lunch and then ended the afternoon with a carousel ride at the Frog Pond in Boston Common. There was also a huge playground which we didn't even have time to go to behind the carousel on the Common. I think it might be new - I had never seen it before. Anyways...a fun outing if you're looking for a fairly inexpenive day trip with kids and don't mind the hour drive. Here are a few pics of our lovely day in the city.
