July 15th 2023: A Day of Water Fun at Artesani Playground, Boston

 We started out this morning with brunch at the Wild Hare in Hudson, which we visited once before, this time getting the STRAWBERRY PARFAIT  (h o n e y y o g u r t , g r e e n s t r a w b e r r y c o u l i s , f r e s h s t r a w b e r r i e s , m a p l e o a t g r a n o l a),

the CAPPUCCINO (double shot / milk / foam),

and the  BENEDICT IN A HOLE  (s l o w p o a c h e d e g g , h e r b h o l l a n d a i s e , b a c o n l a r d o n s &frisee on house brioche + add on - roasted mushrooms)

Excellent meal as always from this place.

From here, we went to the Dick's Sporting Goods in Natick to get some ice skates for my little one, 

then on to the Brighton area of Boston,

Boston Public Library: Brighton Branch

getting lunch at MDM Noodles, a Chinese restaurant in town,

where we got the Guilin Rice Noodle

and the Spicy Boiled Lamb Hand Pulled Noodles.

Pretty good flavor in both dishes I must say.

From here, it was on to the Artesani Playground at Christian Herter Park nearby for the rest of the day, where my little one had lots of fun splashing around, although everyone was chased out of the pool when someone puked.

After a day a water fun, we ended it with some dessert at Far Out Ice Cream in Brookline, where they serve New Zealand style ice cream.

We got the KOOKABERRY (CHOICE OF BASE, STRAWBERRY, BLUEBERRY, RASPBERRY)

and the NZ COLADA (VANILLA ICE CREAM, MANGO, PINEAPPLE, TOASTED COCONUT FLAKES).

Pretty good flavors, with mini fruit bits in them. Different sort of ice cream for sure.
