Geocaching & Taking Pictures in Vermont

The kids were off with Mom & Dad for the week in Virginia. One day while they were gone, Shaun & I took a little day trip to Vermont so he could do some geocaching. He has geocaches from all over New England, but he hadn't gotten any in Vermont, so over the border we went. While we were there, I took some pictures too.

Sunday Family Fun Days!

After Church on Sunday afternoons, we rush to Meme and Pepe's house where we enjoy a super yummmy Sunday lunch. After our Sunday lunch, we then usually pile into our Van and head out to do some Geocaching! It's super fun! We love to Geocache together as a family. We have found some super awesome parks and places to explore as we follow our geocaching clues! If you are interested in geocaching, click HERE to learn more and join us in our fun!!!

These photos are from our Sunday hike up Rattlesnake Mountain in Plainville/New Britain, CT. It was a great trail, with some great views! I don't know if I was relieved or a little disappointed, but we didn't see any Rattlesnakes!





What a great day of geocaching and hiking with family!! :)

Family Fun in Maine / New Hampshire

This weekend, before summer suddenly comes to an end, we piled in the van and headed up to York,Maine. We got a nice suite on Short Sands and had a great time together.

That night we met up with Aunt Amanda, Uncle Miles, Alex and Lizzy. {Unfortunately, I have no pictures. :( }The kids all played on the beach playground in the dark, while we followed them around! The kids had fun running around together! Then it was off to the Goldenrod for some taffy and candy!!! :) Definitely a MUST stop when anyone goes to York Beach!!!

This is the Atlantic House, where we stayed. Right in the middle of everything in York Beach, Maine!


This is the view from our suite...

YUMMMM! If you've never tried Goldenrod Kisses, you have to!!! It's the best Salt Water Taffy!!! If you can't get to York Beach, you can order the Taffy HERE!

At night, in our hotel, directly below our suite, was a patio where a live band played. This is the view of people watching the band. It was nice coming back to relax and listening to the music in the comfort of our own room!



The next morning, off to the beach we went. It was a bit chilly....
but it didn't seem to bother anyone!Here Anneli is trying a wonderful Salt Water/Sand Spa Treatment. She totally thought it was going to make her skin nice and soft!
She was having fun!!!



Christopher, our future Marine Biologist, had fun exploring the rocks for sealife...They also had fun playing together in the sand...

Next up was the Nubble Light. Which is another MUST see whenever we come to visit!











Of course we had to find a few Geocaches while we were in town....
He's searching for a cache....not smelling the roses! :)

Then we headed over to Grandpa's house and picked him up. We headed over to Fort McClary to hang out and find a geocache or two...

We actually picked a great weekend to visit Fort McClary. They were having some cool revolutionary war reenactment event. It was pretty cool seeing all the characters.
We enjoyed their costumes....



And enjoyed watching them shoot their cannons....

It was a fun day together!










Of course we found our Geocaches!! :)


After our Fort McClary adventure, we took Grandpa with us to visit Aunt Nicole, Bryce and Parker. Unfortunately, Uncle Jeff was working so we didn't see him. The kids had fun playing with their cousins for a bit.

Then we headed off and visited with Grande Memere, Aunt Lisa, and Uncle Rick. Then it was off to visit with Memere and Jim for a bit before we headed off for our long ride home.

It was a super fun family weekend!! :)
