We enjoyed two wonderful weeks with Jessica and Quin here during the boys' Spring Break. They are flying home right now, so instead of being sad, I'll blog about the great time we had together.
 |
| Quin finally meeting Grandpa Dodge - best buddies! |
 |
| Quin with Trevor, he even got Trevor to smile! |
 |
| Quin with Curtis - he was nervous to hold Quin at first, but got better at it. |
|
|
|
We went on a few day trips close by (Quin doesn't like his car seat or being put down for naps).
 |
| Jessica, Quin and I enjoyed the afternoon at the Butterfly Garden |
 |
| After Jessica and I went to the temple, the boys met us and we went to North Bridge in Concord where the Revolutionary War began. |
 |
| First day of Spring Break we played mini-golf at Mel's Funway |
 |
| Nature Hike at the Audubon's Massabessic Center |
 |
| Scenic Massabessic Lake (notice Jess' tick protection) |
 |
| We went to the beach in New Castle NH |
 |
| Curtis was the only one brave enough to go in the water |
 |
| Quin loved feeling the sand (and even ate some) |
 |
| Picture Perfect! Jessica is a such a great mom--I'm so proud of her. She says Quin makes her look good. |
 |
| Our last outing was to the Shaker Village in Canterbury NH. It's been a museum since the last Shakers left in the 1990's. |
 |
| It was interesting learning about the Shaker's history. Only 3 are still alive. They are dying out becuase they don't believe in procreation. I think communal living would have some benefits in the 1800's, but lack of privacy would be hard. |
 |
| It was opening day and they had demonstrations such as butter churning, broom making, and the printing press. |
We also enjoyed some down time at home, playing boards games, eating yummy meals...
 |
| Our 32 new chicks arrived (26 for meat, 6 more layers) |
 |
| Quin: "Napping is OK as long as someone is holding me" |
 |
| Quin "Jump Up" and exploring the hall closet |
 |
| Relaxing in the Hot Tub - Quin loved it, but was hard to hold on to. |
