Must be spring is really here now that some of our favorite seasonal places are opening. Sharing news from The Lobster on East Main St:

We had some time with our 3 year old grandson this week and decided to go to Appleton Farms in Ipswich for their Tuesday morning Story Time. It was a great decision. There were about six young children in attendance that day ranging in age from infant to 3 years old. The staff was well equipped to handle to children and accompanying adults for a little coloring and reading aloud. We then went up to the barns to feed goats, pet rabbits, feed pigs and visit the cows. The children LOVED it and then we headed back for a final story. It’s an easy ride and you can hang around afterward or visit the on site store before leaving. I like to visit Appleton Farms every once in a while but it’s extra special when you can take a child along.
