Summer Holiday

Our big summer vacation was spent in NH complete with a trip to Story Land. The girls loved it. We spent Father's Day taking a trip on the Conway Scenic Railroad and having our car towed away after our ride - starter was gone. But we didn't let that ruin our trip. We jumped in a rental and off we went. But not before stepping out of our condo door to be met by a bear - yes, I said a bear! It was quite and exciting evening.

We headed to Story Land the next day and ended our trip with a drive down the Kancamangus Highway - my old home away from home when I was a kid. Had a great time showing the family all of the swimming holes and hideaways that I spent so many summers exploring.



Olivia documented our unfortunate car towing incident.










Lower Falls along the Kancamangus River - the water was icycles.

Summertime

Lots going on since last post. Leila is a wee busy girl. She stops only for food and sleep. She is a climber to the fullest extent of the word. She has no fear on the playground, spiral stairs to the roofdeck, etc. She concquers it all. She continues to be happy, healthy and spicy! She's loving summer and all its outdoor activities: swimming at the beach and pool, playing in the sandbox, riding her bike, swinging the golf clubs, and her favorite - BBQing. She is a joy and we are having a ball watching her ham it up. She tears the house apart daily but watching her play and learn is a reward in itself.

Leila has quite a few words in her vocabulary: baba(bottle), baba (help), baba (up) only I seem to know which one she means! Tha Tha (thank you) ba (ball), ya (her favorite) and shakes her head no with authority when she means "no," cracka, ta ta (no no), and of course -mama, dada, & eeea (Olivia).
