A whirlwind. There is no other way to describe the past few days ... other than a whirlwind. A whirlwind of family, laughter, inside jokes, chopping vegetables and fruit, tricking Tracy into making the Mexican dip she said she WOULD NOT make! It has been a weekend that revolved around family ... celebrating graduations and birthdays and anniversarys! The time went fast ... faster than we would have liked and faster than we hoped. Tomorrow morning begins the exodus from New Hampshire ... my parents head out in the morning for Florida (and then Mali) and Torrey and I head out right behind them to meet Dean in North Carolina. Carly has already cried tonight ... and I was right with her. So as to not start again, here are some high lights of our fun in New Hampshire ....
It's official ... the sidewalks are no longer safe ... Kristin got her license! Torrey and I went with her and we waited in line forever ... but, you know what they say ... good things come to those that wait! I was so excited for her ... until Torrey whispered "I'm next!" Good grief!
There was a trip to Pete's Scoop ... we were hot and sweaty and it tasted so good! The kids were in the basement and my Dad called down to see who wanted to go to Pete's and there was a stampede! You don't have to ask these guys twice!
There was "scooting" ... because what do you call riding a scooter? Actually, the kids will say, "Do you want to scoot?" Nathan Lundstrom taught them how to do a jump on the scooter and they were excited to show off their new trick. We learned that Ryan should not do tricks on the scooter ... there was a small wipe out incident!
Uncle Ike impressed us all with his cooking skills ... best cookout ever! He made enough food to feed an army ... and, he did! We forgot to take his picture last year ... we did not make that mistake again!
Sweet cousins ... together for a bit. Happy for Kristin. Happy to be together. Hoping a day will somehow last longer than 24 hours ...
