Dave spent a few days with Steve, Camille et al. in Boston, over the October 3, 2009 weekend. He left to attend Jared Christopher's wedding in Provincetown and then returned. Unlike Gretta's typical mad rush of sightseeing, Dave enjoyed the quiet, family activities Camille's family enjoys when they're by themselves. Camille showed Dave, for instance, her scheme for teaching Ezra his letters. She puts an M&M next to each letter on a paper. When he names a letter, he gets to eat the candy next to it!
One of Sophia's and Ezra's favorite places is the Boston Children's Museum. Dave shared a trip there with them.
One of the pleasures of the weekend, for Dave, was getting acquainted with Mia.
Dave went apple-picking with Camille and the children, to their beloved Honey Pot Hill Orchards.
Another product of New England farms is pumpkins.
Steve and Camille fixed the classic Ebert Sunday morning breakfast--crepes spread with nutella and berries, and topped with whipped cream.
The breakfast table was definitely photo-worthy.
It was Conference weekend, so Church authorities spoke over the Eberts' computer all day.
One highlight of the weekend was a walk/bike ride along a lovely New England trail.
There was time to just relax at home, putting together a puzzle, reading a book, cooking, or sucking a thumb.
For supper, Dave fixed his famous hamburgers.
On his last day in Boston, Dave picniced with Camille, Mia, Ezra, and Sophia at the mill by the Wayside Inn.
After lunch, the family went exploring, checking out the birds, ducks, and bright leaves.

Thank you for helping us relive our weekend with Dad. We had such a great time and can't wait for both of you and Mike to return for Thanksgiving!
Great posting Mom. I felt like I was in Boston with everybody.
