Boston public garden fun

waiting for the bus to the T saturday

brought our picnic lunch to Boston Commons
hit the playground at the commons...then since there was a LOUD concert to benefit legalizing pot going on....and we didn't want to explain to the kids about contact highs (or get one) we mosied over to the peaceful public gardens....


got to ride the swan boats


Ollie enjoying a post ride snack of teething biscuit


a walk in the garden....with palm trees!


make way for ducklings...with adorable children on them



a delightful visit to the big city!

The Red Playground

walking to yet another playground!

Behold: the "red" playground. a 5-8 minute walk away.
the bold red slide



the giant slide

Swings!!






this place gets MOBBED at night w/ crowds of pee-wee football parents and siblings so it is not as often visited as the (usually) peaceful yellow playground

The Yellow playground

This is the playground that just around the corner from our apartment. It's great

there's climbing



hanging








sitting around


and more climbing

bat poles





a spongy surface to sit and crawl on
and a bridge for socializing ;)


it's great! and oh so close

fun with mom

it was decided mama should take ollie down the slide from the top
then the other little monkeys decided to a train would be even more fun....twice ;)








and they were right, it was very fun (if not almost totally impossible for me to make the curve...with three helpers)

In the book nook with the stuffies...is batman ;)
