Jack had a birthday while we were in Boston. Grandpa John (aka Papa) surprised us all by taking the train from Virginia to Boston. Here are some shots of Papa and Walker playing in Minute Man Park.
Papa, Jack, Walker and Sarah all headed down town for a tour of Boston by Trolley. We also stopped at Boston Common in the public gardens to see the ducks. Here is Walker on a statue of Mrs. Mallard from "Make Way For Ducklings" by Robert McClosky which takes place in Boston.
I know the three dudes in front,but I'm not sure about the big guy in back.
In front of the famous swan boats.
Papa, Jack and Walker in front of the State Building - a bronze depicting Civil War hero Robert Gould Shaw. (Sadly, I only remember him as Mathew Broderick's character in Glory.)
Walker on the high bar at park near Aunt B and Linda's home.
B, Walker and Linda reading on the couch.
Here's a video of Aunt B and Walkerin the kitchen discussing a beetle.

Glad you are re-connected with your photos! Just for additional info - the big dude is Edward Everett Hale, a Unitarian minister who in later years became chaplain to the US Senate. When asked if he prayed for the Senate his response was "I look at the Senate and pray for the country".
Mother (Gramie Ruth) always showed us the Shaw monument because one of our relatives was an officer with that regiment - or at least that was her story.
:-)
Great pictures! Thanks for sending them. Love, Grandpa John G.
