New Hampshire Vacation 2014- Day #7 part 1

July 26th 

We had to get up fairly early, pack the cars and clean the house. Every time we leave a vacation property, we take photos of every room. I guess its to cover our butts if we are accused of breaking anything but mostly so we can remember the house.

Photo tour of the Albany house

When you walk in the door (up on the deck) you enter the kitchen

 

 

 

The Tv room is off the kitchen
you can walk around through the rooms in a circle




 

If you stand where the kitchen meets the Tv room room you have the option of turning left


or going downstairs

 

If you turn left there is a bathroom


and 3 bedrooms



this bedroom above has its own bathroom
  

At the bottom of the lower level is another bedroom


a TV room with pool table area with toys




There's another bathroom ( I wish we had 3 at home)


and another bedroom. This house is pretty big!


This concludes the tour of the house. Most of these were taken by Alyssa using my cell phone.

New Hampshire Vacation 2014- Day #6

July 25th

 We had plans to take our nephew to Storyland but he was having too much fun camping with my brother Billy. We didn't want to mess that up. We decided to take him another time, later in the season. 

 

That morning I made Egg and Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole.. I got the idea off of Pinterest but I didn't really follow the recipe exactly. It wanted you to use muffin pans and the house didn't have any. So I combined all the ingredients into a pyrex casserole dish. I actually made it twice during the week and the kids seemed to like it. They ate it all anyway!

Basically you line the pan with the tater tots.

Mix up about a dozen eggs with some milk and a little black pepper. Add whatever you'd like such as peppers, onions, bacon, chopped coldcut ham... whatever you have in the house.  I needed to use up what was in the fridge.

Pour egg mixture over the tots in the pan and cover with shredded cheese. Then bake. You might want to follow a better recipe, I found one Here

 

I snapped this pic with my cell. Howie is on his ipod touch,  Jeremy is on his smart phone and Brittny is on her laptop. They are also watching TV. Most of the week the older kids came and went on their own and did their own thing. Sometimes it was just sitting around and doing this.. and that was ok! I feel bad that the older kids weren't in as many photos so I tried to sneak them whenever I could.


Later we took the girls shopping and they crossed some items off of their scavenger hunt list.
When we got back to have dinner, Paul had started a campfire. He used vegetable oil, I thought that was pretty ingenious!





I have no idea what Howie is doing. Let's assume he was drunk lol





I had to use Flash for those photos.. It was so dark out there! Here is a more accurate photo



The kids came in and some played Mousetrap while Amanda and Chris hung out in front of the TV... I started to pack to go home the morning :(

New Hampshire Vacation 2014- Day 1

 Family trip to Albany NH

July 19th-26th

The first Day of Vacation never really counts. We have to pack everything into cars, double check that our house is locked up and that the cat is all set for the week while we are away. We are lucky if we get on the road by noon. Then there is the long 3 hour ride, plus stops for the bathroom, food and visits to gift shops. We usually get to the rental house around our check in time of 4 o'clock. When we do finally arrive, we have to lug all the bags in and then go grocery shopping. By the time we make dinner, it's late and the day is over.

This is the house we have stayed at for the past 2 years on our vacation.

Day 1- July 20th
Visit North Conway

   

Girls at a gift shop

  We visited Conway Scenic Railroad

 

 

 

The girls ran around Schoular Park then we met up with my mother and went to Zebs

As we walked back to our car, we noticed the sky was getting dark. There was a large U shaped cloud. I couldn't get it all to fit in one photo. Here is my terrible attempt at a panoramic. Well it's just 2 photos stuck next to each other!

 

We went back to the house and had dinner and spent the night there. If you are wondering where the older kids were, I have no idea! They were off on their own :)
