The Cousins at Drumlin Farm

Lauren and Max visited us in NH this past weekend. Brian had work commitments, so couldn't come. We missed Brian, of course, but it sure was fun to watch Max experiencing all those non-New York activities: going to the dump; washing cars (and spraying people with water); riding on the tractor; the rope swing; and playing in the dirt.

We also called Karl and Renata to see if we could find a convenient time for a family visit. Renata made the fabulous suggestion that the NH/NY clan come to Drumlin Farm on Sunday for a picnic and tour.

Drumlin Farm is owned and operated by Mass Audubon--it is a working farm and wildlife sanctuary. Renata has worked there for several years, but has just taken a new job as Coordinator of Visitor Education and Interpretation. DF is specifically designed to be a fun, hands-on learning experience for children and school groups. It was also the perfect place for a family gathering. Clearly, the cousins enjoyed getting to know each other better.
