Fourth of July in New Hampshire!

Jacob's parents recently moved from Maine to New Hampshire, so our annual 4th of July trip took us to a new state this year! We were there for an entire week (hence the blog break), and had so much fun! It's always great to spend time with family!

Here is Mitchell with his two cousins, Reade and Riley. They played so well together, making Mitchell pretty easy to entertain on the trip.

Maverick was another story! He is such a busy body....inside, outside, up, down, cry, laugh. Needless to say, I was WORN OUT after chasing him around!

They live right on Lake Pleasant, so everyone enjoyed spending time in the water! Here is Maverick and I kayaking.

Jacob and Mitchell kayaking.

Mitchell and Riley were especially best buds on the trip. They were all suited up for their boatrides!

The kayak trip was too much for Maverick to handle. He fell sound asleep :)




The water trampoline got lots of action.

We enjoyed many campfires -- hotdog roasts by day, smores by night!

Here are all of the Folks/Flint grandkids (so far!)

Maverick reminds us so much of his older cousin, Riley. They even share a birthday!

Mitchell enjoyed some sparklers with the other kids!





...and adults. Happy 4th of July!

We made a short trip a few hours north into the White Mountains and took the boys to Storyland Themepark. We all really enjoyed it! Here is Maverick and Jacob on the Dutch Shoe Ride.

Here are Jacob and Mitchell on the log ride!

Beware...Mitchell and Maverick at the helm!

I think Mitchell's favorite ride was the swan boats where he got to drive me around the lake.

We stayed in a hotel for a night during our trip up to the White Mountains, and the hotel had a mini-water park which the boys LOVED. Here is Mitchell enjoying a dip in the pool. (This is my recent favorite picture of Mitchell) :)

Maverick and Daddy enjoyed the pool too!

Mitchell was a fan of the big water slides. He would've gone down them all day if we would've allowed!



Here he is going down one of the smaller slides...he liked the big ones better (surprise!)

Before heading back to Jacob's parents, we took a 8 mile drive to the top of Mount Washington, the tallest mountain in New Hampshire. The scenery was breathtaking!

Although we had a great trip, after 11 days away from home, we were all glad to be home!
