NH- day 9

Our last day we took it easy.  We went to the library for a puppet show, which was really entertaining.  We then had an early lunch, took an early nap, and spent the rest of the day at the beach, it was really awesome!!!  The next day we insanely drove the entire way home.  Which was tough, but at least we were home before everyone embarked back to the real world!

The last day was the most beautiful beach day.  It was warm in the sun, great sky, and just a wonderful ending to our trip!

NH- day 8

We went on the annual Hobo train ride.  It was really hot that day and wasn't the best ride, but we did our best.  The balloon animal guy was there and big guy got a frog.  Very cute.  We had pizza for lunch and then went to the beach in the afternoon.  It was really hot for a few days!
 We checked out the new swings pop pop and dino had hung up

NH- day 7

Another new adventure.  First we went fishing, which big guy did an amazing job at, catching 10 fish all by himself.  Ok, pop pop helped!  He had a great time and it was just beautiful out.  Then we had lunch in wolfeboro before going on a boat ride around Lake Winnipesaukee.  It was awesome.  Great breeze, fabulous views, and got to see where all the rich and famous own houses.  Also, we saw a loon!  Which is a very good indicator of how healthy the lake is.  That afternoon, back to the beach!



apparently all babies/toddlers fall asleep on the boat ride!

NH- day 6

The next day we went on a new adventure to the Lost River Gorge and Caves.  It was super cool.  We climbed many steps and went up, down, and around a mountain.  We climbed through caves where we had to twist and turn to get out.  It was super cool and we only dropped one hat! A definite place to visit again.  Everyone was really tired after that trip.  We got home and went to the beach, of course!

Dont' we look so sporty?

NH- day 5

We visited the squam lake natural science center on day five.  We met a porcupine, which was super cool and interesting.  Little man paid attention for a good 7 minutes before getting squirrely.  He of course loved the mountain lion and bobcat.  I thought the deer were fantastic, as usual. Big guy thought the birds were super cool.  That afternoon we went to the beach.

at the botanical gardens where we eat lunch every year- guess what you aren't supposed to do at this fountain?  Yup, throw rocks on it!

NH- day 4

the next day was the relax day. Hubs left for his conference in boston, so we relaxed at home and then later that afternoon went to spider web gardens for some outdoor fun.

NH- day 3

Our first full day in NH was a bit cool, in the 70's and cloudy.  We went to the libby museum of stuffed NH animals.  We did a scavenger hunt and played with shells.  Then we headed to downtown wolfeboro to have a pizza lunch.  We also did a bit of shopping at Black's, the everything and anything store.  Then that afternoon, we went to the dump and went into the swap trailer where we got a boat for the beach, a pushy toy for little man, and a new-to-us snow shovel.
