Usually Labor Day signifies a close of the Season, a chill in the air and school bus traffic on the roads! We are still in New Hampshire but the temperature has been running in the 80's and will do so for the foreseeable future here (well that at least means for another week!). The children returned to school in late August so they all seem to have a routine already. Leslie and I have had the pleasure of putting Lyla on the bus for Kindergarten last week and driving a couple of days too. Had to believe that she is 5 1/2 already and that MaKynlee is 15 months. Our bonus this year was that we are watching Kynlee during the week while we are here, except Thursday when she goes to "school". Sadly this week is our last as we head on to our next destinations. It's really hard to think about leaving the little ones for a few months since they change so quickly! Suffice it to say we are having a ball with them! Lyla teaches us new games and makes sure that we follow the rules to the letter! Lyla took Uncle and me to the Boston's Children Museum one day and showed us the ropes. Her daddy, Jerrod treated Lyla, Uncle and me to a Boston Red Sox Game which was on our bucket list for this Summer.
We've been low-key for a while just enjoying the weather and lounging. Yesterday we drove to David & Janet's house in Maine to join their family and friends for their annual cookout. We had a really good time and met or reacquainted ourselves with some of their neighbors and friends. Honestly there was way too much food and we had to leave (heaven forbid we missed a NASCAR race or the cats were alone too long!) before the fried turkey was put in. Janet made her annual surprise cake...really you wouldn't believe how talented she is...made a cake that looked exactly like a huge rack of ribs...as a matter of fact on the table I thought it was ribs and was lamenting about how could we possibly eat ribs when someone told me that was the CAKE!!
Next Sunday we will be heading out to Salisbury Beach State Park (Massachusetts) to camp for the week before heading to Scussett Beach SP (also in Mass. but right at the end of the Cape Cod Canal and one of our very favorite spots).
Here are a few of our highlight photos from the past month, including a sunset from our spot at Angle Pond.
