Every summer, we try to take one day to hop on the train and go into Boston. First, the tradition is that we all go over to Station 5 Grill across the street for a pancake breakfast (for the kids) and eggs and bacon for the parents!
Before breakfast, Grant was making funny faces. This is his new favorite thing to do in the mirror before he brushes his teeth. This one is one of two that he likes to make.
They make pancakes as big as Grant's head!
We didn't take any pictures on the train for some reason! But we made it into Boston on a nice sunshiny day. And we went to Mommy's work (no one had ever been to see it) but didn't take any pictures of that either. We went to the Granary Burying Ground next. Here is Natalie pondering the life of the guy who invented a delicious beer. No wait... this was the guy who signed the Declaration of Independence... never mind...
The kids were excited to take off their shoes and walk around in Frog Pond. But both cried like crazy when we told them we couldn't stay and we couldn't swim. We were hoping that a Swan Boat tour would entice them...
The ride was great- there was no line, which was rare for summer. Here we all are on the boat!
The swans were even out for us to see. They are so unafraid of humans! It was a pretty successful trip into Boston, although the kids were whiny and tired. Maybe someday this trip will be fun!
