Crawford Notch

Once we crossed into NH from VT we pretty much LB'ed 302 all the way into Jackson. There was this was a fab series (5) that took us through many of the highlights of Crawford Notch State Park.
Saco Lake, across from the AMC Highland Center.

On our way down to the "Dismal Pool".
Across the street from the Willey House is Saco River and a pleasant 10 minute hike.

Two Rivers

One of our favorite places to cool off when we lived here and the 1st place the boy wanted to visit was Salmon River. Mason was hoping the rock dam he and his buddies built last summer was still standing...Poor disappointed kid, he didn't recognize any of those stones.
After dipping our toes it was time for a (what turned out to be a 3 mile) hike in the Salmon River State Forest.
FL does not have a corner on the hot & humid market and it was downright steamy in CT today...so into the Blackledge River we went. Two refreshing rivers in one day; only in CT!

Museum of Natural History


Status stone from South Pacific somewhere, was like money...So how'd you like to carry this thing around in your pocket?

It's Cool In The Furnace


Kids Klub (KK) presents "It's Cool In The Furnace", a musical production of the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Or for all you VeggieTale fans; Rack, Shack and Benny....Mason plays the fictional character, General Camelot who is the head of King Nebuchadnezzar's Calvary. This 30 second video clip is of Mason singing his Tra La La solo.

Tonight was the last show...Feeling melancholy because we will miss our friends and the camaraderie of our KK family but what a show it was!

Rain Barrel Workshop

Putting gutters on the back of the house and instead of purchasing rain barrels we signed up for a clinic with Brevard Park & Rec and "made" a rain barrel for half the cost of store bought. Another plus...kept some plastic out of the landfill.



Mason got the job done!
