Summer Fun

This has been one of the funnest summers I can remember. I am so glad that we decided to come to New Hampshire with Chris, it would have been  a long and depressing summer if we'd have stayed home.

We have done pretty well living in a hotel, most everyone leaves during the day so we don't really bother anyone when we are here. We've tried to get out and do something every day anyway.

Alton elementary school has the best playgorund.

We've been to the beach at Alton Bay, Carry beach and Brewster beach in Wolfeboro, Weirs beach, near laconia and to York beach in York, Maine. The girls have had fun playing in the sand and have gotten a lot more comfortable with the water.

We went to York's Wild Kingdom where the girls saw all kinds of animals, fed deer and goats, rode an elephant and a pony, had fun in the jumping castle and rode some rides.

We spent a Sunday at Clark's Trading Post in the White Mountains where we saw a bear show and rode on a train that was ambushed by a wolfman. Pie is now obsessed with trains!

We found the best play-group/story-time in New Durham where the girls get to sing songs, listen to stories and play with a parachute. The lady who puts it on does such an excellent job. We also saw a magic show at the library.

We went shopping at the outlet mall in Tilton a couple times. We got some killer deals at The Children's Place and bought Chris some new shirts at the Harley outlet.

My Rockstars in their new glasses!

We visited the New Hampshire Farm Museum a couple times and had fun seeing the chickens, pigs, goats, sheep and the last time we were there, milking a "cow". The girls got to grind corn to feed the chickens and washed clothes and hung them in the sun on the drying rack, they also got to pump water from the well.

 

We also visited the Kings Highway Alpaca Farm where we learned everything there is to know about alpacas from the nicest man who owned the farm. After seeing them up close, petting "Kisses" the friendliest female alpaca and seeing the most adorable babies, I am determined that I want some too! I guess I will just add them to my "if I win the lotto" list!
