Friday Fun!


I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We kept dinner simple and just enjoyed the day, food and family, no expectations or stress.

Today we had Nicholas, so we decided to take him to The Fantastic Umbrella Factory. It is a group of stores and artisans in a farm like setting. It is a bit like a throw back to the 70's and in the warmer months they have folk musicians playing in the gardens.

Today was beautiful, perfect for walking and browsing the stores and no crowds. They have pathways and a fountain that we stopped to get a photo of Nick. I was unaware of the surroundings, and just took a photo, then noticed what I had missed.

Can you see what put that goofy grin on Nick's face?


We went to the animals first, they have ostriches and a goat, as well as chickens and various birds, running around the grounds. We took him to the bamboo forest, he was a bit apprehensive and then amazed at all the bamboo and how high it went up.


While we walked, we picked up a few buddies who followed us around. We also shopped small and bought Nick a wool hat and some gloves.


After that we went to Ninigret park and walked Nick in the stroller and then let him out to play on the beach. Throwing rocks is still his favorite sport.


Nick needed to eat and there weren't any kid friendly places in the area, so we got him a fresh sandwich and enjoyed eating at Charlestown Beach. The perfect way to end the day and just enjoy the beautiful day.


Four more days and the Christmas Hop begins. My day will be friday. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend.

    That looks like a wonderful place, for kids and adults! And eating sandwiches at the beach is a perfect ending. Everything's better at the beach :)

    Do you know how the name "Umbrella Factory" came about?

    He is so cute! Love the picture where he's turned around looking back at you. Kinda has a look that says there's grandma with that dang camera again, ha! Looks similar to the one my grand daughter gives me! Looking forward to the blog hop!
