Auntie had her birthday in August. She spent it with us at Pawtuckaway State Park. Jonathan, Nick and Karina joined us as well. Everyone had a great time. The weather was nice, not sunburns to report.
Down below the backyard we have some water running through. It is a little stream that always entices the boys. They are usually good about staying away, but when I give them an inch...they always take a mile. Usually it results in muddy boys or toys being thrown in. Sometimes Daddy goes down with them and they discover frogs, salamanders and most recently crawfish. One day Auntie went to check them out with them and they found one this big.
Auntie wanted me to post this picture to show his blue claws.
We've started having some turkeys visit our yard. I had never seen a wild turkey before moving to Merrimack and started seeing them on the side of a major road here, but now they are a little closer to home. They were accompanied by about a dozen little ones too.
We've spent lots of time up at the camp. Jim also invited his boss and his boys for a couple of weekends. I really enjoy watching people enjoy what we are so lucky to enjoy because of my Grandmother. Baileigh got to come a couple of times as well and held her own with all of the boys. Fishing was a big hit. Rain, cold nor fog slowed them down.
We went through lots and lots of worms and lots of hooks.
This was a new one for me. I had never seen this. It looked like a go cart with a parachute. Not to mention it flew right over the water and gave a little show when the boys waved.
Jeffrey joined us which didn't happen too much this summer.
Auntie has a new obsession that has replace her Facebook obsession and it is called Mario Brothers on Nintendo DS. She and Joshua take turns and some days she can't wait for him to go to bed so she can play alone :)
