We found a new spot in Plymouth! It's called Hedges Pond Recreation Area. It used to be a camp but the town has taken it over and it re-opened this past July. They cleaned it up and now it has walking paths, a small beach on the pond, a playground, picnic tables and bathrooms. It's great because the pond water is warm and clean and Callie loves to swim in it! She honestly just wants to just swim (it's like she actually thinks she can swim!) and gets mad when we try to hold her back. We discovered this pond this past week and we've already been 3 times. It's great if we only have a little time and don't want to go out to the ocean. Here are some pics from our trips to Hedges Pond!

What a great place! That's great she likes swimming. I need to take my kids to swimming lessons! Hopefully next summer.
ReplyDeleteWe took Callie to swim lessons this winter but she was so young it was basically getting her used to being in the water - but I guess it worked because now she LOVES it! At the ocean she tries to go in but it's too cold - but she loves the pond because it's warm! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Suzy, I just found your blog and I love it!!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing - I grew up at Camp Dennen (Hedges Pond)... My parents ran the camp for 25 years... it literally was my home. It's where Ryan and I met and fell in love. When the town bought it, we were devastated! Just this summer we brought Maddie there and are happy that although she can't camp there for summers like we did - she can at least know the beauty... so glad you enjoy it too!!
