First we went to Georges Island to see the fort. Cecilia really enjoyed the ferry ride, probably mostly because it was super windy and sprayed water over her.
The first thing we did there was eat lunch, of course. There was also a tiny little playground area with one slide that all the kids ran around on. Here is Cecilia chasing the birds while waiting for us to finish lunch:
Everyone had fun walking into the fort underground and above ground. There were lots of small buildings to go into and explore.
On top of the fort, there was a big hilly area where you could see the Boston skyline. The kids enjoyed sitting on top of the hill, hiking up the hill and running down the hill.
Cecilia spent a lot of time with Olivia, and on top of the fort, they walked over all the stone half-moon circles implanted on the ground where the cannons used to be:After walking around a little more, we ended the visit at Georges Island by playing around on the big grassy area in the middle of the fort:
Although I don't have any pictures of this, the kids threw a frisbee around a bit - Aaron has a really good throw!
Then we went to Spectacle Island, which is actually built on an old trash dumping ground. Now it has a little beach area for kids to play at. Cecilia was sleeping during this whole part of the visit so I don't have any videos or pictures of the kids at this point.
It was a perfect late summer day, and we've learned that you can even camp on the Harbor Islands! Maybe next summer.... :)
