Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to a fantastic Daddy! We wanted to do a fun Daddy adventure so into Boston we went. We took a ferry over to one of the Boston Harbor Islands. It was a great cool ride (after standing on a hot muggy dock). Theo loved being in front, feeling the spray on his face and riding the waves. We arrived a Georges Island, which was once a fort during Civil War times. Fun followed as we explored the murky, dark rooms and climbed winding stone stairways. Flashlights were needed!

We found a perfect picnic spot with views of Boston.

And a tree to climb! There are no climbing trees in our yard so at every opportunity, the kids scamper up the climbable ones.

And best of all, a stone beach. The boys could have stayed here for hours. Nathan took a siesta with the nice ocean breeze blowing his hair (some of that sentence is true). He had biked the Harpoon Brewery to Brewery Tour yesterday (143 miles) so was a bit spent.

Our girl added to her sea glass collection.

A chilly ride back to Boston.

And a nap the second he was strapped into the car.

Monkey see..

What a perfect day to honor the man who gives our family so much - love, integrity, kindness, aspirations, and dedication.
