Walden Pond Hike

We went for a wonderful hike yesterday around Walden Pond. I joked to Karl (the organizer of the hike) that we could count the outing as a field-trip, a history unit, a physical education unit and a science unit if we were into such things. We had 6 families in total and it was a perfect Fall day for a hike. The kids walked the whole 1.7 miles and had enough energy to play in the sand on the beach afterwards. Supriya built a wonderful structure in the sand with several walls, a big hole in the middle and three tunnels. There was a complicated story to go with it too, something about trapping bad guys and making them fall down.
