Raising a well-rounded, self-sufficient man...

Mason has the part of Rabbi Levi in the latest Kids Klub production, "Bones" and he wanted to help make his costume. Sure thing! Sewing teaches a skill that all boys need in their repertoire.

Dog Days....

Mason has been patiently waiting for the new Wimpy Kid book to come out and we havn't heard a peep from him since he got his copy.

Violin

After requesting violin lessons for the past 5 years, Mason is now getting his wish and he started lessons with Miss Holly this month. According to her...he just may end up being pretty good at it too. See good things do come to those who wait!

Hair today... gone tomorrow

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.
