Riding

One Last Day at the Beach

Today we took advantage of the super warm weather and headed up to Moreau Lake for one last day at the beach. We took a hike around the lake, played at the playground and spent some time at the lake. Moreau has had some parasite and algae problems this year so I didn't let the kids swim... 

 
But BabySlimJim ended up drinking the lake anyway... which is probably worse than swimming in it...

Just Some Cute Kids

Meadow Ledge Farm and A Weekend in NH

We are in NH this weekend to visit Gram and Grumpy and to see our friends C & H to celebrate H's birthday.

Yesterday we spent the morning at Meadow Ledge Farm. While we waited an hour for the best cider donuts on the planet, the kids played on the tractors and in the pumpkin patch.

Next to the cider donuts, the best part of picking at this orchard is the "hay" ride out to the orchard to pick. The girls loved it so much they took a ride from the store to the orchard and back just for fun!

We hung around the house, swam in the hot tub, went to a playground and ended our weekend with a bowling birthday celebration.

A Weekend Away

Our neighbors and good friends have a lake house on Loon Lake and invited us to spend the weekend with them. I was a bit apprehensive about bringing BabySlimJim since a lake house has a lake and he loves the water- I was imagining myself constantly rescuing him from "swimming" in the cold water, but he didn't try to go in even once! 

The girls had a blast playing outside almost every moment of the day, even Sunday morning at 8am with temperatures in the 40s! They collected and built forts and explored.

There was a very doable hike up a trail called Crusher that we did a couple times. It was nice because for fairly little effort there were some very nice views.

It was a really nice weekend away!
