Zachary, Ryan, Jessica, Brycee-boy, Wesley, Montana (the dog) and 20 chickens....
AND Daniel

Here is Oliver, getting ready for the trip:
The terrible twosome:
Oliver and Wesley:
One of the reasons we went was to watch the kids for Adam and Jenny while they ran the "Reach the Beach" 200 mile relay race.
It went better than expected. Their kids are good kids.
Nevertheless, we made this sign and hung it on the door when Adam and Jenny got back:
The older three, Zachary, Ryan and Jessica found a roll of tape.
Daniel, Zachary, Ryan and Jessica at a parade celebrating their towns 275
th birthday!
Utah is such a baby....
On our last night watching them without Adam and Jenny we had a movie night in the dining room:
Covered bridge in New Hampshire:
A very nice friend of mine let us all stay in their family home in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It was one of the highlights of the trip!
The home had 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 3 living rooms, a steam room, a pool and best of all:
the most amazing views ever!
The Grey Goose Home:
Adam:
The dining room:
The kids, very soon after arrival, started asking if there was a butler or room service, to which we replied, "yes, we have 6 little butlers that can bring us room service!"
here are the kids being silly in a swing made out of a ski chair:
Cutest boy:
Bryce, playing
monopoly with the kids:
That little black dot in the center is a BEAR! On our first afternoon, we were eating on the veranda and what waddled into the yard (we were a very safe distance away):
2 very young black bear cubs and a Mama bear! It was so cool! They just meandered around and off into the woods....
Hiking in the
mountains:
The cousins:
Daniel and his niece, Jessica.
So sweet....
Brycee-boy, being
Brycee-boy:
It is so lush there....how I miss trees!
It was just an amazing trip. Lots of laughs and no rest. :)
Oliver was really sad to leave his cousins and has talked about them a lot ever since.
Love you, family!
