Todd, the kids and I went to Boston Public Garden for Labor Day. We brought along a picnic lunch and strolled around on a beautiful late summer day.
Natalie was a big hit, scoring lots of smiles with her angel wings on. I mean, really, isn't she the cutest???
We also rode on the famous swan boats. I had never been on them, and neither had the kids, so we took a little family cruise on the pond at the Boston Public Garden. The sun was in our eyes, which is why Natalie has the sourpuss face on. She was really good and had fun on the boat!
But I didn't have Grant facing the camera, so here is the big guy with his Mama on the boat. Right after this picture, Grant grabbed my earring out of my ear and tried to fling it, but thankfully Todd caught his hand and took it away from him. And thankfully I wear the kind of earrings that can pop right out when a baby grabs at them!
After our swan boat adventures, we went under a shady tree and had a picnic. Of course, we forgot Natalie's lunch, so she had to eat some of ours. G enjoyed a jar of green beans under the trees. We didn't take any pictures of the picnic- it was a little chaotic!
The swans (the real ones - hey, they don't call them swan boats for nothing!) and the ducks were so comfortable around people, you could walk right up to them. Here, Natalie had little interest in the birds, but was very excited about stirring a big stick in the pond. Do you ever wonder what goes on in the mind of a 3-year-old????? Fascinating stuff!
