Matthew's Excellent Boston Vacation

We had a wonderful time in Boston with young Matthew who was a delightful boy, so well behaved and everything you could wish.
He embraced lots of new experiences, kite flying at the beach, too chilly to swim

Making new frames for the bee hives

                                        then working with the  beekeeper, he was very brave!

swimming

 swimming

 more swimming!

Visiting the New England Aquarium

 with his cousins

Eating spaghetti on garlic bread?

A new technique!

 Fishing

 Learning to make pretzels, which he loves!

He also loves to pose with statues this one in Boston city!

 A visit to this amusement park on a very hot day!

But at least there were some wet rides!

 The happy result!

 We took the metro into Boston to go on the "Duckboat tour"

and the Captain invited him to take a turn at the wheel!

 Probably the highlight was the night of the Fourth Of July going out on his Uncle Scott's boat through the locks to anchor in the Charles river and jump off the boat all afternoon with his cousins!

 then enjoy the best seat in the house for the fireworks.

 The next morning we motored back to the boat landing and on the way Matthew was allowed to steer the boat.

 The final night we had a seafood feast..........

 "I'm going to eat you little lobster!"

 and he did, along with countless clams!

A memorable holiday for any child and Matthew enjoyed every minute as I did sharing it with him!

On the plane bound for home and hot and sunny Arizona.

And finally, writing a lovely thank you note to his Boston family.

It's never too soon to practice good manners.
