Playing Hooky at Canobie
For those of you who know me, you know you rarely see me without my 4 year-old sidekick. But this is my one leave-the-boy-at-day-care-and-take-a-day-off day. So...leave the kids at home, call out sick from work (just remember to apply sunscreen so you don;t get caught!), and come hang out at Canobie Lake Park with us! We'll ride some rides, eat some junk, and have a blast! If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll pick another day, but fingers crossed for the 24th!
