Double the Museums, Half the Fun
Submitted by Nisa Simila on August 19, 2008 - 13:44. Greater Concord | Family life
In recent weeks, my girls and I have visited 2 different art museums in the region. The first one, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA, is one of our favourite places to go because it combines our love of reading and art together. A bonus is that the artwork is familiar, especially important for my 4 year old. However, both my oldest and I can still appreciate and discuss good art done well. The museum itself recognizes that by virtue of its collection and exhibits, kids will be among the many museum-goers there and they have taken care to reflect that in the way they display the art, the programs they offer, and the facilities. We could spend hours there and we have!
Be Happy

One time, my husband, oldest and I were at Parker's Maple Barn over in Mason when we bumped into some friends of ours. Their oldest, who was my daughter's best friend, was 3 at the time and as all parents of 3 year olds know, the terrible twos are just a warm-up.
We have arrived!

I've taken the summer off of work and the girls, save for 1 week of horse camp for my oldest, aren't signed up for anything. I must be crazy.
