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!

Gold Fever in NH

How to guide to Gold Panning:
Shovel dirt and rocks from the stream bed into a bucket with a siv on top.
Add lots of water while you shake the dirt around to ensure all the small particles drop into the bucket.
Discard the rocks that are to big to go through the sive. Grab your gold pan!
Pour some of the small rocks into your pan.Throw out the biggest rocks in that batch.
Rinse... Shake...Rinse...Shake...Rinse...Shake...You get the idea.
Look closely.
Look very closely. Gold flecks are very small but very valuable.And don't forget to have a little fun...With Family!
