An afternoon in Boston

We were driving a friend to Boston ( I guess really two friends...we had Flat Stanley with us too)the other day so we decided to stay for the afternoon and finally take a ride on the Subway...something David has been DYING to do. We drove around until we found a place to park close to a station and went from there. Our adventure led us from Boston University to Boston Commons and Boston Public Garden. David thought the subway was the greatest thing. He loved the crowded nature, not finding a seat and starting and stopping. Some of the others were so happy with it.

We ended our ride at the park...
Boston Commons
Where we enjoyed the beautiful Autumn day running around and playing at the playground.


These kids make the greatest faces
you can tell just what they are thinking...
and how hard they are concentrating. I love it!

We then made our way over to the Gardens, enjoyed a quick rainstorm and found what I was looking for...

Make Way for Ducklings statue.
It is after the children's book "Make Way for Ducklings", which just so happens to be the Children's book for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

We made our way back had dinner and had a fun time getting lost trying to pick up our friend to get her home again. What an adventure!
