A Minute or two in Minuteman Park

Not far from where we live is the Minuteman National Historical Park. After driving through the park for over two years we finally made a family trip to actually visit the sites. (Yes, it took visitors from out-of-town to prompt us to do the local tourist stuff.) These pictures were all taken up near the Old North Bridge and the visitor center. I think the historical significance was lost on the kids at this age, but the climbing trees and hidden gardens were right up their alley! The first time Max asked to be placed on a "high" branch I think he was a little more nervous than he expected to be. (Hence the very serious expression.) The old oaks were very accommodating though and he had a great time climbing the thick branches. Lauren, of course, just loves to run every chance she gets.
