Live free or Die is the state motto for New Hampshire, which is where we travel each year over the 4th of July to spend time with Jacob's family!
Each year I try to get a picture of all of the grandkids, and for the first year Allie isn't the only girl! Each year the group grows in size, in number and in spirit :)
We have lots of indoor and outdoor fun! Below is a picture of Mitchell snuggling with Grammy.
They are lucky enough to have a cottage, a cabin and also the house to house us all!
We've gotten the cabin the last few years and this is the beautiful view out the window.
Aunt Katy and Uncle Jordan snuggling with Macallan.
They live right on Lake Pleasant in New Hampshire and Grandpa bought a boat this year!
They also got the kids a paddle boat this year! It got LOTS of mileage over the long weekend! :)
Uncle Colby helped Jovie take a nap on the boat one afternoon. She LOVED Colby...we nicknamed him the Jovie Whisperer :)
Meet the two newest members of the Folks family - Bella and Lucy.
"I didn't do it"
"Being a puppy is so tiring!"
Our favorite evening activity is to gather around the fire pit for smores, sparklers, drinks and laughs :)
All American boys do sparklers in their skivvies.

With everyone outside, the inside is finally quiet ;)
Teenagers can text and roast marshmellows at the same time :)
Skyler's marshmellow delight!
The boys can often be found down gaming in Connor's room.
We always look forward to celebrating Deana's 4th of July birthday, as well as all of the other summer babes!
"Wash my hands, Mom."
We look forward to the annual Lobster/Crab dinner all year!!!! :) I think it's impossible to make a trip back East and not eat seafood!
Allie graduated High School this year, so we made her a College "Cash"erole. :)
It was a great trip and we're already looking forward to next year's!
