Make Way for Ducklings Pictures

Remember how we lost our camera in Boston?  And then it was found again?  Well, I still haven’t posted any of the recovered pictures, and it’s time to fix that! 

So here’s our trip to see the Make Way for Ducklings statues in the Public Garden. 

We ended up with a cute family photo with the ducks.  All of us looking at the camera, most of us smiling.  This is no small feat!

Then we spent a long time there, letting the kids climb on the ducks.  Consequently, we have lots of “kids sitting on ducks” pictures.         

  

Yes, again, bold horizontal stripes make a toddler easy to spot.

 

     

      

We then walked over to the lagoon and got to see some real, live ducklings in action.  And asleep.  Those were much cuter than the statues. 

   

  

Of course, the hazard of that is that the kids decide they want to take home the darling little fuzzballs. 

But really, can you blame them?  The cuteness factor is really, really high.  Naomi eventually settled for pretending to be a duckling for the rest of the day, and then on and off for the rest of the trip.

The swan boats were not as fun nor as cute, but they do figure prominently in the book, so we took a photo. 

It was a hot, hot day, and we were quite warm on this outing, but  seeing the ducks was well worth it!  I’m so grateful to have our camera back, too.
