Family Fun on the NH Seacoast!

On Saturday, August 22nd, we packed into the car and off we went to visit our family in New Hampshire. We first caught up with Grandpa & Nancy at their home, and then it was off to Bobs Clam Hut! Definately a must stop when in Kittery, ME! Then we went with Grandpa & Nancy to Rye, NH to watch the big waves that were being produced by Hurricane Bill. They were HUGE! The kids really enjoyed watching the waves as they beat up against the huge rocks on the coast. I could have spent the day right there relaxing, but it was off to the beach to put our feet in the ocean and play in the sand a bit at Wallis Sands State Beach. It was a great afternoon visiting with Grandpa & Nancy and hanging by the shore!!

It's a little foggy...

Check out those hurricane waves beating against the rocks!

They LOVED watching the waves belt against the shore and feeling the mist on their faces.

Check out those lifeguards behind them... ;)

Then we headed over to visit with Memere & Jim. After visiting briefly, we met Aunt Amanda, Uncle Miles, Alex, Lizzy, Aunt Nicole & Bryce at Newick's Seafood Restaurant in Dover, NH for dinner. All the kids were fascinated with the Lobsters...even the ones on Aunt Amanda and my plate!!! After dinner, we headed to Aunt Amanda & Uncle Miles house to swim in their pool. The kids had fun playing together! Alex and Christopher were big fans of the diving rock. Way to go guys!! Then we headed back to Memere's that night to sleep. In the morning we headed off to the beach to hand out with Memere, Aunt Amanda, Uncle Miles, Alex & Lizzy. We didn't stay long, it was a crazy day at the beach with Hurricane Bill and losing Anneli for a few minutes! UGH! The kids played for a few minutes. Miles rode some waves. Then it was off to Aunt Amanda & Uncle Miles house to stay cool by the pool with the cousins. It was a great day and a super fun weekend! It was great to see you all and we hope to see you all again real soon!! :)

Only strong swimmers were swimming, but we wanted to check out the waves!

Good thing Hurricane Bill was far off the coast!
