Last weekend we took a touristy visit to the Public Garden downtown to see the Make Way for Ducklings statues from one of our favorite books. We parked right on Charles street where Mrs. Mallard and her 8 ducklings walked in the story and then found the bronze statues. Both kids were really excited -- Dagny and I read the book at least 4 out of 7 nights a week before naps/bed and we all listen to the story on CD in the car quite often (and by often I mean daily).
It was a gorgeous fall day so the ducklings were being swarmed by kids of all ages so we had to wait for our photo opportunities, but it was worth the wait!
Then, we made our way to the duck pond and to our wonderful surprise, we saw real ducks!
And swans!
Very brave and hungry swans!
After another stop at the ducklings statues,
we headed to the other side of the garden to the playground but before we got there - we found more fun statues to pose with at the frog pond.
And finally, a picture of me and my little girl that I adore! She always looks cute, but I usually think I'm ruining the photo--this one is awesome!!
The playground was fun (until Dagny bumped her eye on a twisty slide) and then we headed back to the car through the park.
Dagny made friends with some squirrels and got pretty up close and personal with one!
It was fun to be downtown and just enjoy the city life plus getting to bring
Make Way for Ducklings to life was great! This summer we'll have to go back when the Swan boats are running!
