It was awesome. Huge, like, 20 foot long, wooden bug sculptures.
My favorite was a huge dragonfly that was perched on a log jutting out of the pond.
I thought the baby might be scared....one of his newest words is bup (bug). He's fascinated and scared by regular bups like ants and worms and lobsters, so I was worried we might have to leave. But he loved it! And he even walked most of the mile path through the woods.
So much cool stuff to do around here.

I'm glad you enjoyed David Rogers' BIG BUGS. Special BUG Weekends feature individual insects at New England Wild Flower Society's Garden in the Woods through October 31, 2008. Bugmobiles offer crafts and hands-on bug adventures. The Bug Adventure Bags, available to borrow, at the Museum Store, enhance a child's visit with binoculars, bug box, and journal with crayons for recording images on paper. Submit digital images of the show to bigbugsart@newenglandwild.org. Just 20 miles from Boston, it is a great daytrip.
Don't miss Bill Staines, legendary folksinger, at WILD NIGHTS in the Garden, Friday, August 8, at 6pm. Tickets are $17 for members and kids/$20 for nonmembers. Advance tickets are available through cosponsor WICN at WICN.org or by calling 508-752-0700. Pack a picnic or purchase an a la carte one that evening for a total sensory experience of sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and touch. But please don’t touch the sculptures.
Could we use your comments on our website?
yes, please do!
Don't forget the Museum of Industry, driving around the State Hospitals and old Lab sites and the Waltham Mills open studio days, if just to sneak around the old mill buildings.
I actually haven't been to the museum of industry. I've been meaning to go there for years. What are the old lab sites? Could you give me some directions to these? And, oh yes, I love the open studios. Planning on going this weekend. Thanks!
