365: Day 154- Drumlin Farm

Since I worked on Sunday I decided to take today off to hang with the fam. It was a gorgeous day so we planned to visit Drumlin Farm. Unfortunately S&Z woke up early this morning - 5:19am to be exact. They were pretty tired by 9:30 so we parked them in front of "Dinosaur Train" to relax while we got ready and packed a picnic lunch.


When we got to Lincoln it was shaping up to be a gorgeous June day. It's so nice this year to not have to use strollers for outings like this. 


First we stopped at the Crossroads Barn, which was under construction the last time we visited. Because it's springtime on the farm there were lots of baby animals to see; the lambs in particular were soooo cute!


We have never seen the fields where the farm grows vegetables for the CSA, so we made a detour to check that out.


Then it was time to see more animals! I used the front view camera to get a picture of S&Z saying hi to the fisher cat.


Zoe also stopped to say hi to a hen before we went into the chicken coop.


They were giving hay rides today so we took a load off for a quick tour of the grounds.


Everyone was getting tired by this point, but it wouldn't be a trip to the farm without seeing the pigs and cows.


We had a picnic lunch and then headed back to Boston. 


We can't wait to visit again soon!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor...

We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
