NH summer 09

I know I'm really behind in my blog so bear with me as I try to catch up and preserve our memories as well as share our lives with you.
July 16- 25 09 we traveled to NH to visit with family.
We spent a few days with Steve(Dan's Dad), unfortunately I forgot my camera the day we went to the beach with Grandpa Steve, aunt Amy and Benjamin. Grandpa Steve also replaced the battery in our car when we broke down at the park. Thanks Dad!

Then we spent the rest of the week with Cheryl (Dan's mom) and Brad. There are lots of pictures to come of our time together. Here are a few random ones to start off.Eli on his first convertible rideAsher swimmingOnce Asher learned there was extra wedding cake he kept trying to sneak more.

Brad and Cheryl's Wedding

Brad and Cheryl got married
At the HoBo Railroad in Lincoln NH
On July 19th 2009
They even had a kid's book reading with Curious George before the train ride.


Eli was the ring Bearer

It was a beautiful and unique ceremony
The bride danced with her father
(harder than it looks then you are on a moving train)

The wedding party

Dan, his sister Amy, and his Brother Peter
These three where so cute in their conductors overalls and caps!
I loved all these pictures

But I think this is the best one.
All Aboard!Olivia (brad's 4 year old grand daughter)was the flower girl. I was able to find matching pink and Blue overall for Olivia and Eli. She was a little shy, she would not get her picture taken with Eli unless her brother was in it too.

The Reception

There was also a reception in Brad and Cheryl's beautiful backyard in Pennacook NH
Complete with trucks

Sanda few mosquito bits more kids (this is Harley)
And of course a gorgeous Cake!
I forgot to get a picture before they started serving it.
It did have another layer on top.
Congratulations Grandma Cheryl and Brad!
We Love You!

Canoeing in NH

The Contoocook river was a beautiful river to canoe down.

We stopped at Daisy Beach to do a little wading/ swimming.
There was a rope swing that Dan just had to try out.He made quite a splash.

Like father like Son.

Canobie Lake Park NH

We went to an amusment park with Grandma, Brad, Aunt Amy, and Benjamin, plus our family.

Eli had a bit of a rough start.But after the first ride he loved it.

Asher and Benjamin did too.They rode lots of different rides...Including the train.
Some of us grown ups got to ride the big kids rides too!

Beech Hill Farms in NH

What a perfect place for 3 little boys!

Beech Hill Farms had...



Rocks to climb on...

cousins to play with...
Wagons to ride in...
A giant sand mountain...
And lots of cool trucks to dig with...
And animals to touch...Oh yeah, you can make you own sundae's too!
