For Adventure Friday this week I took Andrew to Stony Brook. Stony Brook is a MA Audubon Society Wildlife Sanctuary. We went there last year with the whole family and had a great time. It is over in Norfolk so it is close enough to drive to for a morning walk.
Andrew wanted to go to a playground, he loves them, but I wanted to get out into the woods and do some walking. I convinced him that there was a playground at Stony Brook, which there is but it is very small and has two things, it was the project of an Eagle Scout and for that, it is great. Andrew tired of it quickly so then we could walk in the woods. We went on down the trail tot he boardwalk and there we observed some turtles, two water snakes having an intimate moment, a frog and a bunch of birds. There were a ton of turtles, we saw both painted box turtles and a pretty big snapping turtle. Continue reading Adventure Friday – Reflections→
I’m back home from my couple of days in Austin, Texas. I’m still savoring the thought of that meal at the Moonshine Grill. One of the best I’ve ever had. Back into the swing of things again. Back with Andrew. I’m trying to get out of the house with him as often as I can now. Looking around for parks to play in and places for us to explore.
I decided to take him over to the World War I Memorial park and find the little playground. We went there after picking up some lunch for a picnic. Andrew would take a bite of his sandwich run over to the playground, climb up into the treehouse, slide down the twisting, turning slide and then come back for another bite. We stayed there until he was done. He sure can make a sandwich last but he ate the whole thing.
A mom and a little girl showed up and Andrew went right up to her and asked her name and then gave her a big hug. He’s very friendly to other little kids. She was five. He was smitten and followed her all over the place. She climbed up the slides and that was something Andrew wasn’t quite able to do. Continue reading Moment of Discovery→
