Swans + Fishes




Last Friday the boys and I went on a field trip to the Boston Common to ride the swan boats. The "Make Way for Ducklings" Statue is there and one of Taede's preschool teachers had a great little sheet with pictures of things that they needed to find while at The Common. It was fun...maybe a little tiring and of course something out of the ordinary had to happen. While climbing a tree Taede tore his shirt and his skin on a little metal sign attached to the tree indicating the type. Luckily it wasn't that bad or really that dramatic, just more excitement for the day.

Later that day we went fishing on the Charles with our home teacher and his cute family. All of his kids are older, but so sweetand kind to the boys. Taede, Talmage, & Truman were in heaven! They each got a chance to reel in a Blue Gil (I think that's what they were anyway) and they loved traipsing through the water and downing the fresh
watermelon. Our home teacher is a fishing extraordinaire and he taught us a lot about the sport. Spencer has vowed to take up the hobby....we'll see! It was a great Friday night.
