Fun Things To Do This Weekend

This weekend is chock full of fun things to do. Since it's fall, it's a great time to do some apple and/or pumpkin picking. I'm not sure about the weather, but let's hope for some sun.

Here are some other fun things going on:

Saturday

Weymouth-The Great Pumpkin Give-a-wey. This is a great event for the family. It's 12-4 next to the Town Hall.

Weymouth-The Weymouth Food pantry is hosting its annual S.O.S (Stock Our Shelves) walk on Saturday to coincide with the pumpkin event mentioned above. It's a short walk for a great cause.

Hanover-There They Grow Again is hosting a huge children's consignment sale at Riley Hall (515 Hanover Street). The sale actually starts Friday, September 30, 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. They have over 60 consigners selling everything from clothes to toys to books to baby equipment and gear. I have about 60 items in the sale this year, 50 of them are brand new with the tags still attached. You're sure to find some good deals. Shop early to get the best selection.

Wrentham-My friend Diane is hosting a yard sale at her house (44 Federico Drive). All proceeds from the sale are going to TEAM HARDCORE. Team Hardcore is in honor of Diane's cousin Kristen, who is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She's 34 years old. Yes, 34. The team is doing the Susan G. Komen race on October 30 in Boston. Go Diane!

Sunday

Take the day to rest. You deserve it.

Your turn...anything fun going on this weekend that you'd like to share?

Nelson Park

I heard about a great park recently. It's called Nelson Park and it's in Plymouth, MA.

It sits right on the ocean.

It has a great splash area for the kids. They love running through the spray.

There's also a playground.

Here's Kelly and her youngest, Sean.

We were fortunate enough to get a nice shady spot.

There's no physical address for the park (that I could find). For GPS purposes use 225 Water Street, Plymouth. This is an apartment (or condo) complex. The park is just after that but before the bend in the road. They have bathrooms and a snack bar where they sell hot dogs, soda and ice cream. We find that it's best to bring a picnic. We pack a cooler and spend a few hours there.

Your best bet is to get there early, the parking lot fills up fast. Oh, and it's totally free!
