It was all Mason's idea...but I think it may have had much to do with his hair always getting tangled up in his goggle & mask straps. No matter, handsome with or without the locks!

Leaving New Hampshire...
Our last day in New Hampshire was also the warmest. As we headed home on the Kancamagus Highway we stopped for a fun game of putt putt that made everybody happy... The kids were sooo hiked out!

World's worse weather!
Mt Washington New Hampshire, Aug 23...Started out sunny and warm, turning into cool and misty, followed by foggy rain which morphed into downright rain, ending with sunny but slightly overcast skies and warm/cool breezes.
That was some crazy a** weather is all I can say but in the end perfect for a hike!

It's My Birthday!
And I got to spend it with my favorite people in the whole world!
The day started out with breakfast in bed and ended with a 'feast' at Medievel Times. Halfway through Mason leaned over and whispered in my ear that this was my best birthday ever! Well what's not to love, you get to eat with your hands and watch men fight...
Two of the most impressive things for me about the entire evening was the level of expertise these people really had. These folks display some really excellent horsemanship both in terms of riding, and how well the horses were trained.
The other thing I thought was pretty impresive was the falcon trainer. He put on a display of how they train the falcon and what it was used for back in medieval times.
As the competition progressed, our knight was really kicking some butt. When they got to hand to hand combat, our knight got the sign to ‘take a fall’. While we were disappointed that he didn’t win, we were proud of the effort he put forth for his Lords and Ladies seated at Table 10 in the Black and White section.

The Hickory Horned Devil Caterpillar
Isn't she lovely! The picture does not do this baby justice, this particular Hickory Horned Devil Caterpillar was about 5-6 inches long, hard to miss. At the time we had no idea what kind of caterpillar this was so we only touched with our eyes but turns out she will become a moth with a 5 inch wing span.
We passed Miss Hickory on our way down to the spring, Blue Spring that is. A 72 degree pure, beautiful & natural swimming hole on the St Johns river. This park is popular and we heard they fill to capacity early and have to turn folks away on weekends. So Jon took Friday off and it was a perfect day to go.
Hot enough day to enjoy some snorkeling in the spring but we didn't know to bring water shoes and the rocks were just too much for our softie feet so we didn't spend as much time in the water as we would have liked. Even so Blue Springs is an awesome state park and we are looking forward to returning. 
Maybe this winter...Blue Springs is a favorite wintering spot for manatees.
