Stairway To ???

It is so cool to see the kids learn new things. Ben and Robby can both use the computer pretty well now. I keep reminding myself to look for a kids mouse though. I think they struggle with the full-size one. Someday soon wii? After sitting around the house for awhile this morning, we decided to go to the river. Robby found this stairway on the Merrimack. It seems to just lead straight into the water. The rowers were out and racing again today. I wonder if a long time ago the river was much lower, and there was a beach at the bottom of this stairwell. Mike actually joined us on our walk, since he still had his scooter. Ben got tired of biking after awhile and just wanted Mary to hold him. This picture makes me think of the story Ed Stutsman told me once. He was walking along the Charles River carrying his baby. His baby was tucked inside his coat, when it started raining ice and sleet. It was windy and cold, and just awful, but then he would look inside his jacket and his baby was asleep nice and warm and secure.
