After a visit with Grammy in Cohasset this summer, we got back in the car and drove to New Hampshire to spend a week with Nate's parents. Auntie Jess and the kids were there that week, too, so it was a cousin party! Mimi wins funnest grandma award. One morning by the time Jess and I rolled out of bed she had made a skirt for each of the three girls as well as made breakfast and probably solved world peace, too. Here are some of the fun times we had during the week...
The time Colby grew a mustache and Anna got a black eye.
The time when Anna got really deep with her artwork.
The time we went to the NH Craftsmen's Fair and discovered people can stack rocks in really impressive ways. I mean, seriously, how cool is this?
The time the kids made paper beads at the fair.
The time where I really truly wanted to spend $500 on jingle bells.
Side note: one day I WILL have one of these pieces of wood art in my home. They were beyond beautiful.
The time Mimi made donuts that looked like turkey legs but tasted even better.
The time Colby was the sous chef and was sooooo cute.
More of the cute cook.
Even more of that cute cook.
How much is that doggie in the window? Ruff ruff ruff!
The time we made the kids explore a cemetery and Anna was literally bored to tears.
The time Cate turned into a miniature person and started walking along the tops of gravestones.
Even if the kids thought the cemetery was kind of boring, Pat and I thought it was really interesting. Hillsborough Center, NH - you should totally go.
The time, and another time, and another time that we went to Gregg Lake. The kids couldn't get enough, and with good reason.
The time when the kids posed for a picture out on the raft…
…and then Jane yelled, "Okay, now everyone jump!" and, not surprisingly, they all jumped into the water, even though Jane just meant for them to jump straight up in the air. What were the kids thinking?
The time Pat called back to shore, "Jane, what were you thinking!?!?"
Thankfully, no one died.
The time that we arrived at the lake and Owen immediately stripped off all his clothes and acted like he owned the place.
The time that I captured my most favorite photo from the entire vacation.
The time Grampa Herms took everyone out for boat rides! He rowed the whole way. Okay, not really, but he would have if he had to!
The time Anna caught a frog that still had a tail and loved the poor thing to DEATH.
The time Mimi and Cate rocked the 3-D glasses.
Thanks, Mimi and Grampa Herms!
