Playdate in Boston

We recently traveled to Boston for a much anticipated playdate with some dear ones who used to live down the street. 15 hours after leaving home, we arrived... in Providence. They picked us up from the airport in Providence and drove us back to Boston. Layover in Phili kinda slowed us down.

Next morning, we played in the park.





Springtime in New England is quite nice!



Oh, and of course, a college friend was also getting married at the Harbor. Check out these handsome boys!



These two were born the same week and get along so wonderfully well. It was such an enjoyable weekend with these little buddies.



Me: Ya'll excited for the cake?
Them: YES!
Me: How big of a slice of cake should we get?
Them:





What' more fun than a wedding? Picking up and fighting over the best sticks, of course! And then, um, throwing them in the harbor.



And of course, the bride. One of the very few images that I could catch of her. Too many people competing for her attention!



Next day was the best adventure of all: Boston Children' Museum!

Got to ride the "T"...



Got to hang on this sculpture as we walked through the financial district...



Got to climb this crazy structure...



Turns out they let big kids climb it too!



And many more awesome activities at the Children's Museum, including Bubbles (as in, making one that you can stand in):



Electronic dodgeball:





Video camera yourself with Arthur and Friends:





...rockwall climbing, power generation, Golfball Raceway Tracks, and topped off with a big black-and-white cookie from the place next door! Man, what a fun place. And what a great time with missed friends. Can't wait until this summer when Southwest Airlines starts flying directly to Boston!

I literally laughed out loud when I saw the first pic of Rev in his "Sunday's Best". Why is his top so small? His vest goes up to his belly button!! LOL again... and his arms... is that a three quarter length sleeve? LOL!

PS- If they were born the same week then why is Rev so much taller? Guess he's gonna be tall like his mama.

Rev likes his clothes to fit as snug as possible. Which, for his thin self, means everything looks too short. =)

Melissa, wonderful pictures! They've inspired me to try to go to the Childrens Museum. And also to make Fish drink more milk. Thank you for posting!
