We picked a beautiful day and went into Boston to the Children's Museum of Science...
Then we headed over to Faneuil Hall for some fun. The girls and I found this awesome store. Forgot to take a picture of the front of the store but it had to be one of the prettiest stores I've ever been in. We found so many girly things....
Then the kiddies had ice cream and watched a street performer...
and a guy banging on a homemade drum set....
Then we relaxed a bit, enjoying more entertainment and the beautiful day...
My boy held my hand the entire day. And I enjoyed every second of it because I know it won't last forever...
Danny and I used to go to the North End all the time before we had the kids. It was one of our favorite things to do. We would just walk the streets browsing the menus and trying new places. We really wanted to share this with the kids.
We showed them this place...just add the Di and this place could be ours....
We showed them the church where we stopped in just over ten years ago to light a candle and say a prayer for a baby. Along came Nicholas shortly after. I believe it helped. This time Nicholas lit a candle for his Papa. The peace garden outside the church is gorgeous...
We passed a cigar shop and it reminded me of Dad. I know he would have loved it.
We picked a restaurant that we thought the kids would enjoy...
No trip to the North End is complete without a visit to Mike's Pastry...
I think the whoopie pie was as big as her face...
Gianna wanted a chocolate chip cookie (I mean really?) but all they had left was M&M. But it still made her happy....
It was a great day...
This is hilarious! The kids could "be on TV" in the museum. Gianna went crazy! And Julia's shirt was invisible I guess because of the color...

Wow, so fun! It must be awesome to share with your kids things that you guys used to do just the two of you. I look forward to that one day! Also, the picture of the garden at the church is really beautiful--how sweet to be reminded of lighting a candle and praying for a baby. That's awesome. Have a great rest of your summer :)
Thanks Mary!! You will do the same thing with your kiddies someday! So fun to think about!
Nicholas, Julia and Gianna have no idea, yet, how truly lucky they are to have such wonderful parents. Sure, they have a clue... but some day they will truly understand the scope of it. You make their young lives so much fun and full of happy times!
Today was great! I loved spending the day with Dini and the 3 kids. We had a nice lunch at 'The Brooka' and then rolling down the hills at St. Tim's. No, not Dini and I.... the KIDS! LOL I was tempted to give it a try myself and then thought better about it! Dini would have thought I had lost my mind! But... I REALLY wanted to do it! It would have been worth all the bumps and scrapes! .... oh yes ... and laughs!!!
Oh Happy Day!
Love you all,
Nana
