mother's day

The weather was great for mother's day. In the morning I opened my presents and Jane made me a pink bowl! Malcolm gave me a plant he planted in preschool.

Two years ago we had walked one end of Boston's Freedom Trail, so I wanted to see some more of it. We started at the other end - the U.S.S. Constitution Museum.

The kids loved playing on the hammocks and pretending to cook food they would eat on a ship.

After lunch we walked to the Bunker Hill Monument.

The kids wanted to climb to the top. I was very surprised how fast they went!

We went back to the Constitution so we could explore the ship.

After all that walking and exploring, the kids were ready for some ice cream!

I was urging everyone to cross the bridge so we could see a few more places on the Freedom Trail, but by then the kids were done for the day. We'll have to go back soon and finish the middle part of it - and eat in the North End while we're there.

It was a great mother's day!
