Grandma came to visit for the long Labor Day weekend and we took advantage by taking a couple of short day trips. The first was into the city to see the Rose Kennedy
Greenway which is the pretty strip of parkland that used to be 93 before they buried it. It now has a spray park and a carousel. The kids loved riding the horses and were dying to try the spray park, but it was a little on the chilly side and the pressure of the spray was more fire hydrant than the little ones would have been able to handle, so we avoided it despite
LR's objections. We also walked along the water of the bay and found giant metal sculptures for the kids to play on. It was a really pleasant afternoon in the city.
The next day we spent at home for the most part, but on her last day, we decided to trek up to Salem, Ma. I showed Grandma one of my old office buildings near the water and we walked out along the pier trying to keep the kids from launching themselves into the water every chance they got. We also walked through a bit of the town, but didn't duck into the
Witch Museum or
The House of the Seven Gables. When the kids are a little older, I think...
Missy loved running around on top of the hot metal structures.
Bedtime reading with grandma was a blast!
LR chilled in the stroller for a little while at the pier since he had fallen asleep on the ride up to Salem.
Daddy playing "keep Missy on dry land"
Grandma taking a turn walking J Frog.
The boys checking out the water. J Frog finds LR endlessly fascinating.
Missy throwing rocks at Daddy.
Grandma takes the unenviable task of keeping Missy from diving off the rock wall into the water.
