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.
It was a very large children's museum and Addi and Kaison had fun. Addi really liked the water area they even had little aprons for them to wear. Addi needed to be just a little bit taller to fully enjoy it.
No matter what your size everyone had fun at the giant piano.
Addi loved shopping at the grocery store. She has 2 toy shopping carts at home. She loves play food.
Jared taught some random little girl about teeth at the play hospital.
Grandma and Grandpa took the kiddies on the carousel. 
Jared was proud of this picture everything in motion and out of focus except Addi.
Don't think the kids liked us forcing them to stick their heads in these holes.
But Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed it. Suits them don't you think.
They had all sorts of different rooms to play in. The kids could have played for hours more, but the adults were exhausted after 2 hours, plus the museum was closing.
Of course we had to get philly cheese steaks while we were in Philly. After the museum and dinner we went to our hotel stayed up late playing games and enjoying each other.
The next morning we started our day off with a nice breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. We needed a hearty breakfast for our day ahead.
We had a tour of Independent Hall. It was pretty cool.
This is the same hair that George Washington sat in.
We saw the liberty bell of course.
And before we left Philly we had to take a run up the Rocky steps.
