We are having a great time up in NH. Yesterday we were at the beach- it was around 80 degrees and with the lake breeze maybe a tad cold for swimming in the lake but that didn't stop us. Shane and Jackson were swimming like little fish out there. They met a few new "friends" and the first thing that Shane asked was "Are you in the 4 day class? " I don't know you. The reference was to the 4 day class in school.
Daddy took the boys for some daddy time to FunSpot and boy did they have fun. When the boys arrived home they couldn't stop talking about all of the rides and games that they played, they both won (AKA Daddy won) them 2 paper like airplanes and they were very proud of those planes! Today we are meeting Uncle Larry and Aunt Michelle at Storyland for the day!

August 4, 2013 Letter to Jackson
Dear Jackson-
A few more months and you will be 5 years old! You are having a great summer full of activities and trips (and emotions). We visited your cousins during the 4th of July holiday and had a wonderful trip out there, full of adventure, swimming and visiting. Now we are up in NH for a whole two weeks worth of vacation! Week one flew by and now we are into our second week here at the lake and it is wonderful.
You and your brother (as you like to call Shane) are having a wonderful time up here. We have done lots of swimming at the lake and you my friend, are a little fish in the water! You just finished Penguin swimming lessons at the Boys and Girls Club and you are doing great in the water. You put your gogles on and off you go exploring under water. You and Shane like to play "Shark" and you get people and things. Daddy bought your boogey boards so you are loving that - paddling and jumping off the board. Nana and snowball also came on vacation with us so it is a full family affair up here in NH.
This month Jackson while you have been enjoying life to the fullest, you have also been a bit more emotional than usual. Maybe you are going through a growth spurt? You are a bit more emotional than usual with a fair amount of crying when you don't get your way and you have been very tired. You play hard all day and then boom you crash! In fact while we have been on vacation you have "fallen down" in fatigue on the front lawn yelling- I can't walk, I'm too tired! a little dramatic.....Some of that drama has played out down at the lake as well when you didn't want to carry your boogy board, Shane carried his happy as a clam but you put up a BIG Screaming display all the way back to the car.
Aside from your emotional outbursts here and there you are enjoying life up here at the lake. We have visited friends- Aunt Edna, Aunt Margaret and Uncle Allen, gone on boat rides, swimming, riding scooters when ever you want! and lots of adventures- Clarke's Trading Post, Santa's Village, Story Land the list goes on and on.
I love you Jackson Reid. You are mommy's sun, moon and stars. Happy Auguust- stay smiling.
Love,
Mommy

Auguest 4, 2013 letter to Shane
Dear Shane-
Summer is more than half over and I think I can say that we are having a great summer! You have really enjoyed life these past few months and have been one happy little camper. The past few weeks you have been wonderful at listening and following directions and you have just been happy!
Last month we visited your cousins in Ohio for the 4th of July and we had a GREAT TIME! You loved seeing your Aunt and Uncle and playing with Katie, Abby and Zach and of course meeting Willow was great as well. You and Jackson LOVED playing with Zach's toys and building legos, playing race cars etc. We visited the Ohio Zoo (and got caught in the rain) and did all sorts of things. Your photo album will be full of pictures of that trip.
We are currently up in NH on vacation and you are really enjoying yourself. You have been sleeping "in" to about 6:30 am which is wonderful for mommy and we have been going to the beach and swimming a lot! You are turning into a little fish, you put on your goggles and off you go into the lake exploring for fish and other creatures under the water. Your swimming lessons are paying off as you can stay under water for a while and you do a mean doggy paddle! You seem very happy up here in NH. You can ride your scooters anytime you want and you are just HAPPY! always smiling and giving kisses (with an occasional mugga mugga mugga for mommy). I love seeing you this happy.
We have another beach day today and I'm sure you'll spend the entire day in the water and making friends like you do every day. Mommy will bring her camera to the beach to capture you in action. While you and your brother still have your occasional fights up here you are getting along beautifully here in NH and it is wonderful to see.
I love you my little Shane. You are mommy's sun, moon and stars.
Love,
Mommy
