Annual Trip to the Swan Boats...and then some

We woke up in the morning and all four of the little devils had a dentist appointment. We went downstairs to the dentist office and were getting ready. They called Jack's name first and to our surprise, he jumped right up and went off with the hygenist without pause. Whew!! I think it was because he had the appointment thing confused with the doctors office where they put the pointee thing in his arm. When he explains getting a shot he points to his right arm and talks about the pointee thing. Anyway, he got in there without a problem at all. They are all getting older and are able to go in by themselves now. Usually, it is jumping from one room to another. Only one little whimper from Catherine about x-rays but that wasnt a problem because they postponed it. Anyway, from the dentist office we headed to Darrell's for a haircut for the boys...all three of us. When we got home Lyn checked the emails to find that Jimmy's baseball game had been rescheduled to Thursday. Now what to do, what to do. Quickly we determined that the Swan boats were the only option. We cooked up some hot dogs, put them in foil, some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and off we went in the swagger wagon. It was that quick

When we got to Boston it was picnic time with the hoP dogs and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and then right over to the ball fields where Jimmy could hit some home runs with the bat and tennis balls we packed. Of course all four of them had their turn at bat. It was unbelievable how many potty trips we had to take. The swan boats were again fabulous watching all the ducks around the pond only we didnt see the turtles this year. After this trip we headed to the ducklings for the annual pictures with them. It was on and on until we ended up at the playground so mommy and daddy could sit down for a little relaxation....not really but they were so cute running around the swings and ladders and slides. Jimmy is looking so big around the other kids. So is Laura too....but they all played great together, especially Jimmy who sometimes complains about these trips but ends up enjoying them the most. He is so good with Jackie and was very very good all day!!

After the fun in the sun we promised them dinner if they were good....so off we went to Fire and Ice. They all have adopted that place as the favorite place to eat. You take all your raw food, throw it in a bowl and its cooked right in front of you. We all love that, especially the chatting up of the chefs right in front of us....What a great day it was!! The thing I loved the most about the day is looking back and seeing all the smiles on their faces. I hope they remember these days. I certainly know going through them that they will not last forever but we are sure as hell enjoying them as they happen!!
