Our mini trip

Tuesday , we leave travel to New Hampshire, arrive by 2pm.., it was a good ride, but very hot, had to use the air the entire way. We met Nana and Papa there too. We check in and try to settle in., my mom takes the kids to the pool indoor water park, and boy after four hours in the car they needed it. We all go to a place called the muddy moose for dinner it was nice.., a bit to loud and crowded for my mom, but the food was good.

Come back and go straight to bed, busy day tomorrow.

Wednesday Up early at 530am go for a quick breakfast with mom and the kids. Juice eggs coffee bagels, fruit salad. Get going at about 845am. We get there at about 915am., I am as excited as the children. I was hot and the day was only getting hotter, but yahoo., no rain at all. We go in no lines because mom printed our tickets on the computer from the business center..
We try to go around and get on every ride but 35 acres and 21 rides and 3 to 4 shows is a bit overwhelming. We had so much fun. Stephen went to check on Buddy and he had trouble with his knee and he was not having fun, so he didn't return to the park. I was a little sad about that, but still had a great time with the kids and my parents..

Return back to hotel at about 3pm...rest a bit.., my mom takes the kids to the pool they have so much fun, the water slides and the kiddie pool is just perfect.
We decide to go separate ways for dinner. After a short thundershower it cleared back up again. Myself and the kids went to the outlet shops at Settler's Green.., got some Lindts chocolates, and we also got two new watches, one for Stephen and one for myself.
Back in the car and drive into North Conway's Main Street, we stop at wonderful toy store and the kids pick out one toy each, The Toy Chest. A great little store.
Off to dinner, a small place called Delaney's wow great service, and amazing food.
I ordered baked stuffed haddock with corn and red bliss potato's, Stephen had baked stuffed shrimp,Stephen had pasta with marinara and Kalen had a burger with fries.
Had back to the room and get right to bed, we are tuckered out. We are sleep like babies. It was a long but very full filled day.

Final Day, We wake up early July 10., Thursday. We met my mom for breakfast. It was nice and quiet even though the hotel was super busy. It was early 720am or so. I wanted to shower and begin packing. Stephen took the children to the water park from 830am till 930 am..
They all thoroughly enjoyed the time there. K even went to the big yellow slide.
We said our goodbyes and packed up the car. I made sure to inform the front desk that the staff and hotel was great, friendly, it was extra nice we were able to bring the dog.
The ride home was long and hot again. It was great though I just love the White Mountains.

Graduation

Stephen graduated from preschool yesterday. I went to his school to spend the day with him, his classmates and his teachers. I brought two small gifts for them from Stephen. Just to say thank you and to show our appreciation. The younger years they say are the most formative. We shall see. The start of the year last September was a rough one, it was not an easy transition for him, he had never been away from us, never been on a school bus, or even been in an environment with other children in his age bracket. I hope he has learned some decent social skills and that he will grow and change more so over the summer break. Look out kindergarten, meet Stephen and he will be ready.

March of Dimes Walk for Babies

On Sunday May 4, 2008 I participated in my fourth walk for this great cause. It is so meaningful when you walk as a team. It's nice when you walk on your own as well., but I did enjoy walking a team with my work. Six of us including myself raised and turned in over $300.00 dollars. I am very proud of myself and our team for all our fundraising efforts. Also, for walking six miles. We were lucky the rain held off until after we were done. I am sore from the muscles I never use, but it is so minor compared to the babies born too soon, and their families. Until next year....
