Camping

Our family loves to go camping. And by camping I mean sleep in our 32' travel trailer, lol. But it's still lots of fun. We have quite a few trips planned for this year. Our first one will be in June to Vermont. We're going to a hot air balloon festival. We've wanted to go a few years now but could never get a campsite closeby...but we booked early this year. (although not early enough since we got the very last site) I think the kids will find that awesome!

The one I'm looking forward to the most is at Pine Acres Resort out in Oakham, MA. The places looks phenomenal and we've heard that it's wonderful from a few families. We're going there in July for a week....the kids are super excited.

I'll be posting some reviews after our trips this year...it's nice to read about a place before you book it, should I have any camping enthusiasts out here. (and if I do, please let me know your favorite places!)

Ice Cream!

Where is your favorite place to get ice cream?

One of our favorite spots is Eastover Farm in Rochester. I'm eagerly awaiting them to open for the year! It's really out in the middle of nowhere in a beautiful spot. It's a small farm stand and there's a freezer there that they sell the ice cream out of. You can even have lunch first with hot dogs if you choose. The kids love it here because there's lots of grass to run around and they can visit with the donkeys and horses after they have their ice cream. They even do hayrides on the weekends during the summer. Fun!

We also love Erickson's here in Carver (even though their prices keep going up, up, up!) and also Mea's in Halifax.

When we're heading up north, we love Kimball's ice cream....we usually hit the one in Jaffrey, NH.

Tell me where you like to go!

My family loves to letterbox! You get to explore new places that you probably don't even know are there and spend quality time together. We did our first box of the year this week over school vacation and also planted a box here in Carver.
