NH Vacation - Day #1


After months and months of planning, a whole week of packing, tons of emails coordinating food/travel/and activities ~ we have made it to New Hampshire for our vacation!!!  Nana to celebrate her birthday wanted to take all of her kids and grandkids on a vacation.  So here we are!!!  A big thank you to Nana for the vacation.  We got to the rental house - it is an amazing 10 bedroom three story house - with a game room and a flat screen tv in every room.  Seriously, the guy must have gotten a crazy discount on tvs!  We quickly unloaded and headed straight to storyland.  All the kids warmed up to the fun pretty quickly.  We went through the storybook area and then went to our first show.
It was a show about gardening - and after a little hesitation all the kids seemed to enjoy.
Next were the tractor rides.  What good driving!!!


Somehow, Jerald convinced Justin to go on the roller coaster.  I was worried, since Justin doesn't seem to like rides.  But it went well - no tears.  But Justin only went once and didn't want to do it anymore.  But Seth had a blast and even went on one time by himself!
Jerald and Seth then did the bamboo shoots a couple of times and Seth and I went on the raft ride 3 times.  We were very wet!  Justin went with us the first time, but he wasn't such a fan.  We finished up the day in the ball room.
We headed off to a yummy dinner and then back to the house for shabbat and a lot of playing around and snuggling!  What a successful first day of vacation!
