Summer Fun


The Family Place in Norwich, VT offers a toddler playgroup on Friday mornings. In the warm weather, it's outdoors. We tried it for the first time today and we will be back! Lots of our friends were there as well as some older kids. Sadie loves watching bigger kids, so that was a lot of fun for her. In the picture above, Sadie is playing with her friend Hanna, who is 15 months and much more advanced in the hair department.

The facility is amazing and perfect for toddlers...lots of grass and playground equipment such as baby swings, small slides and a wooden climbing structure.

And not only that...

Drawing activities! This is a clear plastic board that the children can draw on with "chalk markers". This was a very popular activity and Sadie took a few turns with it.


There were imaginative play items including 3 or 4 cars, little bikes and scooters, shopping carts, and best of all, a playhouse. Sadie especially liked that it had a phone inside.


On top of all this fun, they serve a snack...goldfish crackers, apples and water. Everything's free.

Hi Sadie,

Daddy's postdoc starts Sep 1. Mommy said we'll probably move in August. Can't wait to be your E.Coast neighbors. Maybe we can have a NYC baby meeting.

Your playgroup today looks SO fun. We love to drive cars at the park, too.
