Mother's Day in Boston

What a beautiful day we had. We spend the day in Boston as a family. First we started at the Arnold Arboretum on Arborway in Boston to check out the Festival of Lilacs. Wow is all I can say it was just breath taking and the smell was just unbelievable! All of the colors and varieties. I had never known Lilacs could differ so much from size to color even to smell. I did not know that a Lilac could smell like Honey. That was just awesome to see and learn all about. Here are a few pictures of the Lilacs and us playing around.

Happy Mother's Day to me! I love this Girl!

After the Lilacs we went over to The Boston Common where they were welcoming the Ducks back to the park from the long winter with the parade of the Ducks to go with with book..Make way for the ducklings. Unfortunately we did not make it into the park because our little one fell asleep as we were looking for parking. So Selim and I drove around the park to see all the happenings and found a parking spot on Newbury St. That way when our little one woke up we would be able to get her food as soon as possible. She wakes up very hungry so we always have to be one step ahead. It was so nice to walk around Boston again. It had been ages since we had done so. It really made us miss the city, since I have not been working in the city we don't get down there as much as we used to. We made a vow that this summer we will make it back more often there is always so much to do and see. Not to mention all of the great food too.
After Boston we headed up to my parents to have a nice cook out dinner. It is always nice to spend the holidays all together as a family. We got to enjoy the time with my mom, dad and sister and gramy and grampy. I think that the girls were most excited because Selim had brought stuff for s'mors. So the first thing they did after they were excused from the table was head out to the grill to get the last of the heat to warm up their marshmallows.
What a great day. The only thing missing was a visit with Selim's Mom but she is currently in Turkey spending her Mother's Day with her mom (Big Grandma). So here is a huge hug from NH to Turkey hope you all get it (Oh by the way it also included kisses too).
