The Jones Girls

We drove down to Cheryl & Lee’s and we followed them to the Wellington train in Wel Station.   This was the beginning of our first amazing day in the city of downtown Boston.  How exciting!

We parked our cars and then headed into the train station. This was the girls’ first time taking a big train.  They were so excited.  We waited on a bench and I had them all against the wall for fear of them getting anywhere near the tracks.  I was so scared of that!

We all got on the train.   Lilly and Ana were so good in their stroller.  We took the train to The Common in Boston.    What a beautiful and amazing park.    There is an amazing pond, called Frog Pond.    It is the most amazing and beatufiul place.    There is a nice lawn all around the pond.  The pond is about 8 inches deep, perfect for my girls!   It was the most wonderful sight to see hundreds of children playing in the huge pond.  The pond had a concrete floor and in the middle of the pond there is a huge 10 foot waterfall.  So fun!   The pond was about a block long and about 200 feet wide.  HUGE.   The girls spent the afternoon swimming and getting wet.  I strolled in the water enjoying cooling off.     We had a nice lunch on our blanket on the lawn.  Then everyone got wet again.      It was so fun to see Lee walking his girls in the stroller.   What a proud daddy he is!   Cheryl looked so relaxed laying on the blanket.  It was a perfect day.

We headed to the carousel and the girls had fun riding the carousel.  Then we went to the Boston Common Gardens.  So beautiful.  Full of roses, statues and impeccable manicured gardens everywhere.

Then we ventured over to the Swan Boats on Swan Lake.    It took my breath away.     It is such a magical and beautiful lake.    We took a lovely Swan boat tour of the lake and learned about the history of the Boston Common, Swan Lake and the Famous Ducklings Statue in the park…Ducklings?   That is what I call my girls…my little ducklings.  I had to check out those statues!!    We stopped and the girls picked out their little swan keepsake stuffed animals.

Then we had a nice walk in the park.    It was such a breathtaking place.   We went to the Ducklings statues.    The girls LOVED the statues and they giggled saying that those statues were mommy’s ducklings.  So I took a bunch of pictures of them on the statues.  They just filled my heart with so much love and happpiness!!

Then we went to downtown shopping district on the way back to the train station and took the train back to the Wellington Station.   

We got into our minivan and then we drove to visit my friend Melissa in Wilmington.  She has a daughter, Kaitlyn, the same age as Savannah and her birthday is 3 days after Savannah’s!  Melissa also has twins that are a few months older than the triplets – all girls!  So we all had a blast. They have a lovely home and we enjoyed watching the girls play together in the backyard.

Then we had a nice BBQ and enjoyed a delicious dinner.  It was such a wonderful visit!   We left at about 9:30pm. 

A truly amazing day in Boston!!
