The Ruby Free Tour of Boston


Ruby and I visit an array of venues in Boston to keep her engaged.  This is a tour of the spots we hit up on a weekly basis.  She's a busy 2 year old and we want to share our highlights of the free loot we've found here.

Hiding, sort of, at Curtis Hall

Curtis Hall is a community exercise center in Jamacia Plain, and we go to their Toddler Time, a 2 hour session set up in the gym so we can run around and get our sillies out.  

We like crawling tubes
 
Painting at the Easel

We have art class on Wednessday's at the community center in West Roxbury called the Roche Center.  We use paint, stamps, playdo and make a different craft each week.

Vroom-Vroom

At the Roche Center, we also have a Toddler Time.  They have lots of toy cars to ride and a slide!

Caught ya!

Ruby slides

And Ruby slides more



Take a look at our video and catch a feel for the playtime atmosphere!

Get a feel of the action at the Roche Center Toddler Time.  Go on, I know you wanna...

Nice Dino Slippers you made Ruby

Here we are now in the Brookline Library, at their Storytime on Tuesdays.  Ruby models her craft.  Each week we get 3 stories, some song and a craft.  Very nice program they have here for free.



 Ruby shows off her craft, a Hoppy Hoppy Bunny. 

Ruby looks for approval from our Librarian, Ms. Caroline

Here we play in the Children's Library afterword


 At the Roslindale Library, we like to go to their Storytime for toddlers on Thursday.  They have lots of song during these sessions.  It's also packed and a bit chaotic, kindda a kiddy concert. 


Definitely Ruby gets exposed to a different kind of environment on these days that's much more of a free for all.  


Always packed, gotta squeeze your way to get up front.


Go ahead Ruby, go crowd surf or somethin'.
Always full of good song.
Who said libraries are quiet stuffy places?

We keep busy
