Mystic Seaport

Yesterday the boys and I went to Mystic Seaport with my parents while Bryan was at work. There were so many things to see and do, we climbed on a lot of old ships and did a lot of other great things. I didn't know there were so many fun things for kids to do there, but the boys had a great time.


One of the boats we climbed on.
Luke insisted that he go on the horse drawn carriage ride. Jack didn't want to go so Grammy was going to stay with him and Cole while the rest of us went but Luke asked me not to go since he just wanted him and Papa to go, oh well it saved me $5!
Jack climbing on a tree that fell down in Miss. during Hurricane Katrina and it was transported here to help repair some of the old ships.
Cole was so excited about this he decided to kiss the tree.
Here we are waiting for the carriage riders to return.

Cole spent most of the day with Grammy, he didn't get to go on every boat, it's quite a production to take him on and off since he is in to temper tantrums when the fun ends.
This could have been a really cute picture but I'm coming to realize that all 3 are never going to look at me at the same time.
Papa and the boys on the green learning how to play old fashioned games, Jack got it right away, Papa and Luke needed more practice. They also got to try and walk on stilts, that didn't go as smoothly.
The boys outside the Children's Museum, they had a water table outside with little boats in it. Poor little Mike, the boy we met there, I think Cole got him a few times in the face with water!
The boys and Papa give a quick pose on the first boat of the day.
