MATTAPOISETT — Moms, grandparents and toddlers were out in full force on March 9 as the Tri-Town saw temperatures in the low 60s in the first days of March. 

Joe Wirth of Marion and Abraham Apperson of Mattapoisett ran up and slid down the slide at Mattapoisett Town Beach as their grandmothers both watched from behind the camera. The moment was sweet enough to make the front page.

At first, Wirth was camera-shy and didn’t want to go down the slide, but Apperson ran over and climbed up the slide and Wirth’s’s fear went away as the two repeated the cycle over and over.

The two then took to the swings, with the view of Mattapoisett Harbor in the background.

Swinging next to them was Aurora Cortes of Mattapoisett, who smiled for the camera as she was pushed by her mother Erin Cortes.
