Back and focused

I've completely neglected this blog.  Sorry about that!  We've certainly been out and about, but with school and classes at the Y, doctors appointments....well, you know.  If you are reading this blog, you're most likely a parent and you get it. Some reviews I've been working on are  Ecotarium, Children's Museum of New Hampshire, Connor's Farm update, the new and improved Patton Park, Breakheart Reservation, and many others.  Since my last post we've also ventured to some pretty cool places outside of Northeastern MA: Philadelphia, Lake George NY, New Hampshire, and we came back last night from a whirlwind of a trip in Connecticut.

i'm really looking forward to spring and summer this year after such a cold winter!  What's also exciting is that we are participating in the Fresh Air Fund program.  Haven't heard of it?  That's ok, most people haven't.  Two years ago I saw a short article in the local online newspaper looking for volunteers to house a child from the poverty stricken areas of New York City for 1-2 weeks.  The timing wasn't right then, but now that my kids are a little older, it seems like the perfect time!  I'm hoping to come up with some fun and different places to go!  So far our spring/summer hitlist includes the following places that we have not been to:

Playground, Essex
Dane St. Beach, Beverly
Children's Piazza, Beverly
Wolf's Hollow, Ipswich
Polar Caves, NH
Clark's Trading Post, NH
Various Playground in Newburyport
Bremen St. Playground, East Boston
DeCordova Sculpture Park, Lincoln

Any other suggestions?
