You gotta be kidding me. I'm all for eating veggie, but these things are nothing but plates full of saturated fat. Better to have a chicken sandwich or bring your own PB&J.
In Hullabaloo: High Energy Fun Game
Yep, someone gave us this for Christmas and my 4 and 6 year old love it.
In Millenium Park, Boston
Millenium PArk IS great, but there is definitely not a lake there. It borders the Charles River and there is a canoe launch in the park, but other than that and the pretty view, you cannot swim or anything like that in the water.
In Use a Programmable Thermostat to Save Energy
If you typically leave your heat (or A/C) turned up overnight and during the day, then yes this will help. HOWEVER, most people turn their heat down when they leave for the day and at night when they go to bed. The downside is that you come home (or wake up) to a cold house. If you install a programmable thermostat you'll actually use MORE energy. This is because, instead of waiting to turn up the heat when you walk in the door, the heat will kick on before you arrive. Similarly, in the morning, instead of just leaving the heat down, it'll kick in before you wake up so that it's toasty when you get out of bed. If you want to get up (or get home) to a warm house, then go ahead and install a programmable thermostat. If you want to save energy, don't bother. My plumber told me this when I asked about installing one and he convinced me that it wouldn't save me a dime.
In Sophia's Grotto
Soffia's is awesome. We have kids 4 and 6 and they love it. Cozy in the winter and excellent al fresco in the summer. One of our local favs.
