Boston

October 10, 2009
A few weeks ago we decided to adventure up to Boston for the day.
This was our view from the van. The leaves were beautiful and the highway was lined with trees all the way up.
Despite the beautiful trees Addi preferred to watch baby Einstein and she didn't get car sick. yeah!!
We went up to Boston to go to the temple. We hadn't been to the temple since we left Iowa and thought it was about time.
Since we didn't have a sitter we had to take turns watching Addi. I went first and we had fun walking around the temple grounds.

And we stopped to smell some flowers.
And of course mommy had to take some pictures.
When it was daddys turn he took Addi for a little walk in the trees.
And from the pictures it looks like they had a lot of fun.
Addi wanted to go in the temple, but she will have to wait til she is a little older.
I am glad that we have the opportunity to visit the temple and that we are sealed together as a forever family.
Since we drove all the way up there we decided to see some of the sites of Boston so we went to Boston commons (sort of like central park of Boston) and the frog pond.
Addi enjoyed the big slide.
She went down many times until daddy told her she could go down slides anywhere he wanted to see other things. Mean daddy.
We meet up with a friend I use to work with in Iowa, Sarah, and went to dinner.
After dinner we went on a walk through the public gardens.
And took advantage of having another person with us to take a family photo.
As we were walking we saw a bunch a people bent over and pic up stuff off the ground. Jared and Sarah started to make fun of them, but I noticed what they were doing and joined them.
They were collecting chestnuts and I thought they would make a great addition to my fall decor.
We had to say good bye to Sarah as she had places to go.
We finished our walk and found these cute little ducks.
I think Addi had a fun time what do you think?
After our fun day in Boston we had a nice relaxing drive home with a beautiful sunset.
