Walden Pond

I can't believe how long it's been since I've blogged. I have many half written, almost finished posts but I think it's best I just move forward. I miss blogging, facebook has taken most of my time, but I really need to get back to writing all of our memories down before they are all a blur! So I will start with today. We took our dog Hazel to the groomers today. It's been over two months since her last appt. and she very much needed a trim. We took her to Petsmart in Woburn and had lunch at Bertucci's. Sydney wanted Panera but the parking lot at the Woburn Mall looked like a zoo. I told her Panera was full to which she replied "One person just left so now we can go!" Yeah, just like the morning when I woke her up for preschool and she said "Mrs. Cullen just called me and said it's a stay home day!" So we went to Bertucci's and ordered our usual: The Bertucci Pizza and The Penne Margherita. So good everytime!

Then we went to Walden Pond. Last year we went on Sydney's birthday, Oct. 23rd, but most of the leaves were still green. This time all of them had changed and the view around the pond was just gorgeous. We walked the trail around the pond, didn't do it last year. It took at least an hour. The first half we spent taking pictures and collecting leaves and pine cones. The second half we carried the girls, trying to make it back to the parking lot in time to pick up Hazel. The groomers gave Hazel a Halloween bandana and Maddie said "hi" when Hazel jumped in the van. She petted Hazel the whole way home.
