[quote=Anonymous]Good itinerary. I agree with the poster that mentioned Sand Beach being... overrated. It's crowded and with the water being so cold, it's not really worth it. Wonderland and Ship Harbor Nature Trail are the easiest of hikes (they're really flat strolls) so they shouldn't be too much for your crew (although I'm not sure either are stroller safe). If it weren't for the 2 year old, I'd say skip the beach in favor of rock-scrambling on the Great Head Trail--it begins just north of Sand Beach and any kid over the age of 5 or 6 would LOVE it. Cliffs over the edge of the sea. Or, head to Long Pond and hop in a canoe (the water is warm enough that your eldest can jump out and float around next to the canoe). But maybe those are activities you need to wait another few years to enjoy... unless you can strap the 2 year old to your husband for a ride? Every summer I see folks doing that and think "god bless them--that looks like a lot of work" but the truth is, your older kids are at an age where they could really be enjoying some minor hikes so I can see why parents would be willing to risk their back health![/quote]
