Scavenger hunt and Canobie Lake Park

While we were away in July, the kids competed against each other in a photo scavenger hunt. I came up with a list of items and gave each item a points value. There were 3 teams of 2. Team #1. Amanda and her boyfriend Chris, Team #2. Jeremy and his girlfriend Brittny and Team #3. Alyssa and Stephanie.

Hundreds of photos were taken. These are some of the best ones!

 

 

The Winning team of the scavenger hunt was Alyssa and Stephanie.  As their prize we took them to Canobie Lake. Nikki, Tommy and Tyler came with us.

I hung out with this little cutie while the others went on some rides. It was crazy how busy it was. I swear each ride took about 40 minutes because lines were so long.

Tommy is too cool for the carousel!

A much happier Tyler

These girls are crazy!

The lines were so long but they seemed to be having fun

I couldn't believe Tommy went on this...

It loops upside down and check out the drop...

The park stayed open until 11. Everyone had a lot of fun. Tyler fell asleep right when it got dark so I just pushed his carriage around. I don't do rides anyway. In October Canobie has Screeemfest with haunted houses and monsters walking around. We might go back then?

An Evening At The Beach

I remember years ago thinking, "When our children are older we will have more time to do things".  So far, I couldn't have been more wrong! One of the things, we haven't had a lot of time to do, is go to the beach. We might fit in a walk here or there, but we have not been able to go and spend a few hours. I decided that I wanted to take beach photos of the two youngest. I had them put on cute dresses and I called my sister Nikki (last minute) and told her to meet us there with my nephews.

New Hampshire Vacation 2014 Day #7 part 2

July 26th

Going home

Before we headed home we had some more shopping to do and the girls had more scavenger hunt items to find. The older kids headed home sooner than we did. Amanda and Chris took the dog home with them.

One of the places we go to on vacation is to the Christmas Loft. It's fun to look around inside.

We also visited some other  shops

Pressing Pennies



We went to Fields of Ambrosia in North Conway. I love their soap and got some Lemongrass Sage body butter.  We had lunch in Jackson at J-Town Deli. Its a little country store and they make really good sandwiches and soups. The menu is always different so we get something new each time we go.

Eventually, we headed home.
Here's some random photos taken during the week :)

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.
