The kids and I flew to New Hampshire last Tuesday. Scott was flying to Atlanta for work that morning, so we all went to the airport together (at 4am!). And a youth mission trip from our church was headed to Mexico that morning, so we saw lots of faces we knew at the airport!
When we arrived in Boston, we went to the Children's Museum. It's not as big as Indianapolis, but I thought it was very engaging and fun. We were happily busy for hours.
On Wednesday we went blueberry picking. The bushes are so full, we easily picked almost 6 pounds in half an hour.
Of course, we also spent plenty of time in the water - boating, swimming, throwing rocks, etc.

Thursday we went to the beach. The kids tried boogie boards for the first time, and it was a hit.
Friday afternoon, Eric, Meredith, and the girls arrived. We love our cousins! Scott flew in around midnight.

My parents bought a pair of trainer skis to help the kids learn. I don't have any pictures of it, but Micah got up twice.

| Lucy got up, too, but I was too busy clapping to take a picture. :) |

Sunday afternoon all eleven of us went to Prescott Park to see Mary Poppins. I have many fun memories of seeing shows at this outdoor community theater when I was a kid. I'm sure there are pictures of Eric and I climbing on this same whale.
On Tuesday, Scott and the kids flew back to Ohio, but I stayed behind for an extra day. Our dear friend Sue Adler was getting married! I'm so glad I got to stay and witness her special day.
