We finally made it up to NH this year for vacation. We battled out Hurricane Irene up here at Lake Winnipesaukee, bad rain and a few trees down but we went out to the Meridith Children's Museum- they had a great bubble room, a store and a rice table which Jackson loved. We had our first trip to McDonalds on this stormy day, we were the only people in there! You can't beat Chicken nuggets and apples and milk. No formal nap, but Nana and I took the boys for a ride and they fell right to sleep so we drove around NH in the rain for 2 hours so that they could sleep.
Yesterday we ventured to Clarke's Trading Post. Route 3 was flooded so we had to turn around and find our way to 93 to Clarke's. The first thing we did when we got to Clarke's was an old fashioned train ride- Jackson LOVED the train! In fact he asked to go on the train again, we saw the old wolfman who lives out in the woods and yelled to him throughout the old fashioned train ride. I think the big hit of the day was the water bumper boats- Shane road with Daddy and Jackson with mommy and they loved it! Jackson had a blast firing the water at everyone and Daddy and Shane had a great time as well- we all got very very wet! We had our lunch and then we saw the bear show which was lots of fun- one of the bears climbed up his pole and sat in his chair way up high and we saw a baby bear as well. We closed the park down and headed home but Shane and Jackson were not sleepy- they yelled Ding Dong the whole way home for almost the entire hour! Going to bed was not so much fun as the boys screamed for about 35 minutes to an hour straight! eventually they went to sleep. Sleep has not been the best here in NH but as long as they have fun during the day it is all we can ask for.
Today was breakfast at Ames Farm and then we played at the beach all day. We stopped off at the playground for a bit and then it was off to the water. Shane and Jackson did a great job in the water and went in up to their necks! They played and made sand castles, made soup and played Hi Duck and Hi Geese while making Duck and Geese sounds in the water- highlight of the water was definitely playing Rocketship with mommy. Fun part about the beach is that the train rides straight through South Down Shores so we could see the train many many times during the day.
Tomorrow- StoryLand.
