back to Walden

Malcolm specifically asked to go to Walden Pond because he loved it so much last time. He was all ready to leave the house at 8am, when it was 65 degrees out. So I said that we could leave soon if they were willing to walk around the pond first, and they were.

Here's the site of Thoreau's cabin.

A few commuter trains went by, and several breakdown trains!

When we swam, some ducks came over to us!

I like how Jane arranged her towel.

Here's the replica cabin with the actual furniture from Thoreau's cabin.

When I got home I looked up how far our walk around the pond was, and it was 1.7 miles! I can't believe they walked that far without much complaining!
