Summer Fun

Here comes another one of my signature long picture posts. Yay! These pictures cover most of our activities before we went to Utah after the 4th of July. And if you make it all the way to the end, the last picture is probably one of the cutest things you'll see that day. Or ever.

While Loren's mom was in town for graduation, we went to Prospect Hill Park, which was where the first American flag was raised during the Revolutionary War. There is a big tower you climb up and you can look out over Cambridge and the surrounding environs and it's pretty cool.




Later that day we went to Walden Pond, made famous by Henry David Thoreau. There is a little beach you can swim at and there is a trail that goes around the pond and passes by the site of Thoreau's cabin.




Walden Pond is a place for deep thoughts, clearly.

Then of course we've been doing other assorted summer things, including lots of outings for playgroup, including going strawberry picking for the second time.

And as promised, the sweetest picture of all

  1. That does look like some great summer fun! Isn't Walden Pond bigger than you expected? It was for me. And strawberry picking sounds just divine! What fun activities.

  3. You're right! Now that I think about it, Walden Pond is quite a bit larger than your average pond. I'm sure it's at least a mile around it.
