New Hampshire 2010 - Part 3

The weekend that Nana and Pepe were with us we spent time at the campground and went to Santa's Village. It was my very first time there and I really enjoyed it. It was fun to experience something new with the boys!!!

New Hampshire 2010 - Part 2

When we drove the motorhome up to NH, Grandma and Grandpa drove my car up so we would have a car for the week. Nana and Pepe helped us with my car on the way home from NH. We are so lucky to have both sets of grandparents so close to us!!!

Here are the pictures from the weekend we spent with my parents. We hiked the flume gorge and spent a day at Story Land. It was really fun reminiscing my childhood visits to the park. I can't believe that I am now going there as a Mom!!!!

New Hampshire Trip 2010 - Part 1

We just returned home from nine days camping in the White Mountains of NH. The weather was great pretty much all week long with warm sunny days and cool nights. Connor had a blast living at the campground spending all of his time playing outside. It was nice to be able to share the time as a family relaxing (as relaxing as it can be with 2 little guys) and hanging out together. It was also nice to spend a week without the internet or television, even though both were available, which gave us more time to talk and play. Both sets of grandparents also made the trek up to spend a weekend with us. We went to Story Land with Grandma and Pa and to Santa's Village with Nana and Pepe. I am still getting their pictures so stay tuned for more posts!

Zoo with friends

Yesterday we went to Capron Zoo with my friend Beth and her kids. The weather turned out to be really nice and the kids had a blast. Connor and Patrick followed each other around the zoo, held hands and played in the splash park together. Jack and Renee got to spend some quality hang out time and Beth and I got to spend some time chatting. A fun day for all!
