Day 114: Sherborn's local treasure, Farm Pond!

Today was a beautiful day to enjoy our local watering hole, the gorgeous Farm Pond.  Over the years, all three kids have taken swim lessons there, Bianca and Sophia have been on the Snapper's town swim team,  and Bianca has worked at the Pond as both a Life Guard and Swim Instructor.  At Farm Pond this afternoon, the annual Sand Sculpture Contest was going on, and Sophia and her friends entered the competition, designing "The Adventures of Sandman", which in the end, showed Sand Man melting in the summer sun.  Very clever take on a hot day.....so much so that the judges selected the entry as First Prize in the 11-15 age category!  The Sherborn Community does a lot to support Farm Pond, and one of the ways residents give-back is to  help keep the Beach Toy Box full of sand toys. We were happy to add to the toy collection today by donating some shovels, buckets and a ball to the cause.
