THANKSGIVING DAY ROARING FIRE

SNOW DAYS ARE LAZY DAYS
It was snowy and icy outside, which was my excuse for the perfect day of lounging around.
Grandma and I had a “draw off,” which will become our new evening tradition while I’m here.
SNOWMEN AND SLEDDING
On our first full day in New Hampshire, it snowed!
It was cold and slushy and I managed to stay outside for about ten minutes, but I packed a lot in. Like making tiny snowmen with Grandpa.
And sledding down Winter Hill Road. I wonder why they call it Winter Hill. Hmmmmm…
KAYAK BOY
On our final day in New Hampshire, we went out to breakfast and Hugs had a great time frolicking outside.
After breakfast, we went out to the lake.
I got all geared up for a big outing on the inflatable kayak. I named the boat Chillo. I named Grandpa’s other kayaks Lenny and Dottie.
After Mommy, Daddy, and I all went out, Grandpa took it for a spin, too.
When we got back home, Grandma read me a story as we began to wind down for our trip back to Portland.
LAUNCHING THE KAYAK
Today we walked down through the forest to the edge of Grandma and Grandpa’s property, where a kayak was waiting for us.
I was all outfitted and ready to go!
First I went with Mommy…
…then with Daddy. I helped both of them paddle.
When we were finished kayaking, I helped Grandma make brownies. My job was to stir the batter 50 times!
LAZY NEW HAMPSHIRE DAY
You know there’s nothing I love more than a lazy day. And I got to have one on our first full day in New Hampshire.
(Actually, first I got to drop pins with Daddy! That’s when I pick a spot on Google Maps and Daddy drives there. Then we do it again. And again… It’s my favorite game.)
But the rest of the day was lazy! First, I checked out the “Harry Potter room” upstairs.
Then I drove my car around the house quite a bit.
And then outside later to admire Grandma’s deck garden.
SEE YA NEXT YEAR, NEW HAMPSHIRE
Yesterday was our last day in New Hampshire before we set off for New York.
My favorite part of the day was flying the gliders Grandpa got me!
We also went to King Arthur Flour where I turned wheat berries into flour. That was also super fun. I now want a mill.
Then we went to a bookstore that had a cool little tiny house outside. I had fun, New Hampshire!
KAYAKING
On my first full day in Grantham, I went kayaking for the first time! We packed the sand bucket, monster truck, and toy boat for the beach, but once I got in the kayak, it’s all I wanted to do.
We also went out to eat a couple of times. This is me and Uncle Mike during breakfast.
And here’s me and Grandma relaxing before dinner.
THROWBACK THURSDAY: NEW HAMPSHIRE
Mommy just found this picture on her phone from our time in New Hampshire last June!
NEW HAMPSHIRE, DAY 3
We went back to the beach! This time, I wasn’t as interested in going in the water. But Grandpa showed me how to use my fishing reel on his boat and I played with my cars in the sand. Uncle Mike and Auntie Sarah joined us, too, and Uncle Mike pretended to be a sea monster.
Also, we went out to eat for breakfast and dinner. Not only was I amazingly well-behaved, but I also nibbled on some fruit, Grandma’s pickles, Mommy’s home fries, and Auntie Sarah’s maple syrup. Plus, I succeeded in sucking on a straw for the very first time! I’m not totally sure how I did that, but I’ll work on it again today.
