Good morning! I am determined to stay semi up-to-date with my blog for a few months at least. :) So here is update number one! This past month, we were able to go on our family vacation for the year. We usually go in the fall, October....but since that is a month that usually has lots of church events and plus, the start of hunting season, we decided to do earlier in the year.
We decided to keep closer to home this year, and went to New Hampshire which is roughly a 3 hour drive. We were able to hike mountains, spend time at the lake, and also take a day trip to Maine!
My 3 little hikers.
The Lakes region of NH is beautiful!
Dan and the girls, building a sandcastle on the lake beach right near where we were staying.
The girls absolutely LOVED swimming at the pool at the resort where we stayed. I'm thinking swimming lessons are in order!
On our way out of town one day, we stopped at the Kellerhaus, which is a neat, candy/ice cream shop. Apparently the oldest in NH. The ice cream was good! ALbeit , very overpriced. :)
The Ocean. In the very far distance, you can see Goat Island and the lighthouse there.
Another day, another castle built. Of course this was more authentic because it could be decorated with seashells since we were at the OCEAN in Maine.
The best kinds of messages in the sand.
The cutest Clarabelle!
Nubble Lighthouse
Endicott Rock where there are inscriptions from the 1600's
Downtown Laconia.
We all voted this years vacation as one of our absolute favorites so far. We also spent one day just relaxing, and one day exploring antique shops and a few thrift stores. I made almost every meal (except one) at our resort kitchen and so we were able to save a lot of money.
It was a good week!
