St Augustine...again

Can't help it, we adore St Augustine and when we had the opportunity to camp with some h'schl friends we jumped at the chance. Campground was Anastasia State Park. Now folks I have camped at some really outstanding parks but this one makes my top 3. The beach is breathtaking and just an all around beautiful place to stay. Can't wait to go back!

Jon & Mason atop Fort Matanzas, this was a first for us, we had never been to Fort Matanzas. What a best kept secret, we will go again.

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!
