We took Emmett for his second-ever stroll downtown through the [Common](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Common) and the [Public Garden](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Public_Garden), where we stopped to have a little picnic in the park.� This time, the [Swan Boats](http://www.swanboats.com/) were out, the [tulips were in bloom](http://www.flickr.com/photos/23115371@N04/3484037451/) and the sun was definitely an issue.� We cut our outing a little short on account of the brutal rays, especially since sunblock for little ones seems to be only available for little ones 6 months and older.� Still, we definitely had a grand ole time!
