Last week the kids and I headed down to Foxboro to check out The Nature Trail & Cranberry Bog at Patriot Place. The trail, located right behind Bass Pro Shops, is an easy, half-mile walk through lily ponds, cranberry bogs and shady wooded areas. Most of the trail is covered in wood chips, with the exception of three wooden bridges, great for peering down into the pond and spotting turtles, frogs and fish!

This fall my oldest is heading into first grade. He’s going to be in school all day, every day, and I’m going to miss that little guy like crazy. This summer I want to soak up as much time with him (and my other two cuties) as I possibly can. I want this summer to be great. To make it great, I’ve got a plan, a list of places to go and things to see, and there is so much to see! (Starting to feel a little bit like Dr. Seuss here). Here’s what I want:
I want to go blueberry picking and then sprinkle our piles of fruit into breakfast cereal, bake them into blueberry muffins and eat fluffy blueberry pancakes for weeks. I want to have picnics at the park. I want to go to as many beaches as possible, and vote on which ones we loved best. [read more…]
