Our recent (and not so recent) adventures!

After many adventures in the last few months, I feel so far behind in updating everyone. The farther behind I get, the less motivated I am to try to catch up. So I'll just start with today for now, and see where we get!

Today we took the train into Boston. We rode the swan boats, and visited the statues of the Mallard Family from "Make Way for Ducklings" by Robert McCloskey. Here is our family with the Mallard family.

Grandpa and the girls posing for a shot with Mrs. Mallard.


Riding the swan boat was a hit with the kids! Silas was sure he needed to swim with the ducks!
Here's the little man just being cute! I think he's pretty good at it.

Last Saturday we went apple picking. With the nice small trees the girls could pick their own- and eat their own!

Even Silas got in on the action!
The orchard had some activities for the kids as well. Here is Brynn enjoying one of the tractors they rode. There was a hay maze, a moon bounce, and some farm animals to visit.

This is a picture of Silas I just had to include for Nana, Papa, and the aunts and uncles. =) I'll try to add some more pictures of our summer activities soon, but here's a start!

Great pictures! Still can't believe we've only seen Kira once and the rest not at all! Sigh! Hope we can come to Alberta in the new year.

Love the Pics! And great letter too...we got it via e-mail on Thursday. Got time to swing through Indonesia this furlough? It'd be fun to catch up. :)
