Duckies and Turtles and Sharks, Oh My!

Our weekend started off a little rocky - Lillie was under the weather on Friday so plans for the weekend were looking gloomy. Saturday came and she was feeling good again so we decided to make our way to see the Make Way for Ducklings statues in Boston Common. How could we leave Boston without a trip to see the ducklings? Lillie wasn't so sure about those big ducks, but she looked pretty cute sitting on them! We also walked along the Charles and enjoyed the great weather. While stopping to rest along the way, we got this great shot of Lillie's tooth coming in.

We also made it to the New England Aquarium and saw all sorts of very cool things, like penguins, sharks, Myrtle the Turtle, sea horses, and more! Lillie was so excited to see all the big fish swimming around the giant tank. I think we've decided that we must have a little fish tank in our new house for Lillie.



There were so many people out enjoying the weekend...as we walked along the new Greenway, we snapped this picture of one of the new fountains. It looked like so much fun! Now that the Big Dig is over, this is such an amazing area to be near.



Our little girl is really moving along now, using her newfound freedom to check out anything and everything around her. Since we're pretty much living out of suitcases, we have a limited supply of toys with us. So we experimented with a homemade drum set - a plastic spoon and a metal colander. Not only did she love making music, but she loved seeing her misshapen reflection in the round bowl!

So there it is, our last weekend in Boston came and went so quickly. I think we packed as much into it as we possibly could. Now the countdown begins...only 8 more days until that flight to Chicago.
