We’ve been spending a lot of time at that local “field.” I honestly don’t know we haven’t before.It’s only a two minute drive away. There’s a pond, a soccer area and picnic benches. We’ve had meals there, played with kites and even just thrown rocks into the pond.They have a small “beach” area, that is perfect for fishing [some day].

The “beach (aka pond)” that we typically go to in Massachusetts is currently closed (only coastal beaches are open).

However, my second favorite beach just recently opened up in NH.It’s only $4.00 per adult and kiddos under 11 are free.

I like this beach (aka lake) because the water is pretty shallow and the area is small enough for me to take them alone.
There are also trails that are easy enough for my kiddos, a playground and a field area for them to play at.Needless to say, there is plenty for them to do.

The picnic table out front has been utilized so much more.We’ve been enjoying the simple things.

Something as simple as moving a table to a new spot in the house [to give it a fresh feel] and eating a meal outside has made a difference for our “new normal.”

What are some simple things YOU are enjoying this summer?
