Shipping up to Boston

Our yearly outing to Boston to the swam boats came on a beautiful day.  My first stop was to have a cavity filled, then all novacained up, we headed down to Bean-town.  The babies were remarkably well behaved in the car while they munched on some fruit and we tried to locate a parking spot...easier said than done!
We stopped at PF Chang's for lunch (just like last year).  Eli tried a few new things and the babies made a huge mess.  That's why we tip big after all. 
Then we finally got to the Swan Boats!  We thought there would be a long line, but we didn't have to wait more than a minute.  It was quick.  This year we tried it all by ourselves, hoping the babies would sit nicely...HA!!! I think the babies understood a bit more, but still didn't grasp the whole concept that we were floating on water and there were ducks around us.  They did quack a bit and entertain the lookie-loo's on the boat.

Up next was the duck statues.  We had a difficult time getting a picture because there were some rudey-tooties there who weren't moving their kids out of the way.  It all paid off in the end though.

There's something really stunning about this shot...I don't know what it is.

Then off to the lilypad playground and the Frog Pond.

Sammy looks like he's sitting on a Froggy toilet.

Natey praciticing his CPR on the froggy.

Benji rubbing his nose for good luck.

Eli went so fast on the pole that I missed it!!!

Last, but not least, a quick swing back by the Swan Boats before heading up to the North End to get some canolis from Mike's...yummers...
