If you're ever looking for an active, outdoorsy activity for your family, consider doing a family bike ride through The Meadows in Wethersfield. You'll find the entrance to The Meadows if you make a right off the the I-91N exit for Old Wethersfield (exit 26). This bike path goes through a wooded area before opening up to beautiful farmland.
If you follow The Meadows trail for about five miles you wind up at The Ferry Park in Rocky Hill. Ferry Park Grille is located within the Ferry Park. The grille offers a ton of great food options, including hotdogs, hamburgers, and excellent lobster rolls.
You can have lunch at the grille and then either take the ferry across the river to Glastonbury or turn around and ride back to Wethersfield. All said and done, the trail is about ten miles.
My nine-year-old did this trip riding his own bike, but younger kids may need to be pulled on a bicycle-built-for-two or in a little trailer attachment. When our kids were young, my husband or I would use the following for towing the tots:

It is pricy, but we used this all the time.
I hope you'll try this little trip.
Pro Tip: Doing this before the day gets too hot is a good idea.
