When Given Lemons…

Make some lemonade….recently we had a great visit with the Carpenters & Gallaghers in NH. We always have to plan months in advance & hope for ideal weather for the weekend of activities. Of course, June in vacationland NH would be a perfect combo for a great summer weekend…..

Friday prior to the gang’s arrival we had a picture perfect BEACH day at the town beach. Mason, Fiona & I had the place to ourselves…

Friday night the Gallagher’s arrived so we had a nice evening outside….then when we woke up Saturday things had turned;( Rain swooped in and the temps dropped considerably. We headed out to Mason’s favorite local attraction, The FunSpot.

Then headed to lunch to meet up with the Carpenters. I didn’t get pictures but it was certainly a photo op to get all 6 kids under the age of 6 to sit & behave out at a restaurant. Great bunch!

The rain cleared a little in the afternoon enough to get out and play in the yard for a little while & work on some arts & crafts together.

Then, off to bed…

Sunday’s weather was cold & windy…so much for the beach! So we spent some time brainstorming & figured we’d give the kids a look at the start of bike week at Weir’s Beach….So we took the train ride from Meredith & hit the boardwalk. Not so much on a cold windy day to do but the kids all enjoyed the train & all of the motorcycles & of course a run on the beach.

The second generation of these boys could be trouble;)

Lots of fun, though the weather could have been much better….we made the best of it & had a great visit with everyone!
