It's fun to be the Bride

Thank you ladies. It was a weekend to remember.

Dana . . . excited for some very yummy food

Me. . . . excited to open gifts

and then eat cake!

Day turns to night and the dancing begins.

The Black Fly Tri

Waterville Valley, NH is a great place to spend the weekend. We found our new annual triathalon. The BlackFly Tri is a .25 mile swim, 15 mile bike ride and 3 mile run. The course and the area were picturesque.

Megan and Ben warmed up with a kayak race, while Caitlyn and I sipped on a cold beer.

Sailing, Sunshine, and Lobsters

The first annual Colcord Pond Sunfish Regatta went off without a hitch. Well actually my Dad might say that his flip at the half-way mark was a hitch, but Ben was happy to take the W. It was an exciting weekend for Ben. Two sailboats on the lake is something that he has been dreaming about since we moved to NH.

We also enjoyed the new floating docks.

The Barkers came to visit and Caitlyn and I got some swimming in, which is good considering we are signed up for a sprit triathalon and it is in 3 weeks.

Lobsters. . . .

Kadin was just a bit tired after a day at camp.

A weekend in Cape Cod

Crystal turns 30 and celebrates with pink cup cakes.

A Beautiful Weeekend

The weekend began with Ben's maiden voyage in the new Sunfish. He stayed upright and came home with a big smile. While he sailed I made my first strawberry-rhubarb pie.

The Gordons have new hiking boots so we took the boots out for a spin on Mt Kearsarge. It was a beautiful day for a hike, although everyone struggled not to go "bug-crazy". The blackflies were definitely out.

On Sunday the boys took the dogs on a Mt bike ride behind the house.

We thought that would finish Kadin off, but she came home ready for frisbee.

A birthday trip to Burlington

We spent last weekend in Burlington and fell in love with the area. The city has so much to offer, great restaurants, live music and lots of opportunities to play outside. This is the view from our hotel room. We had a view of lake Champlain and the mountains in the background.

On Saturday we went for a 30 mile bike ride around South Hero island. It was one of our favorite bike rides ever.

Check out these bird houses. There were so many, all different colors and I think they were all handmade.
