Hiking

Our family LOVES hiking. It is always a good time, great exercise and we see some fun amazing things in nature. We went on a hike this past weekend to a place that is now one of our favorite hikes to date. It is a wildlife sanctuary in Dunbarton, NH.

Jadon was on the search for signs of animals in wildlife for Boy Scouts. I will spare you the "signs" of skunk, deer and moose. Lets just say that there were several samples. ;) However, here are the other sign that are pretty cool!

First day of Spring!!

So, my thought over the weekend was to post about Spring. We have had a huge amount of snow this winter. With the warmer days we have seen lots of melting and even some flower buds trying to make their way to the surface. The kids are gearing up for baseball and softball. Jadon is practicing his pitching with David. Grant is finishing up winter soccer and Lillian's sewing projects might just have to take a back seat to riding her bike. As always the case here in NH, you never really know what the weather is gong to be. What did we get for the first day of Spring on Monday??? You guessed it. SNOW!! About 2 inches of it. I am thankful that it was wet and didn't require any shoveling. The trees were beautiful and in fact the snow was still sticking to them as I woke up this morning! Then, what do I hear in the forcast for Thursday? More snow. I hope they have planned indoor practices for baseball/softball until we dry up a bit. :)

So Much Snow!!!

Okay so right after Christmas, we all wished for snow. I am thinking we may have wished to many times because we sure have snow!! Today is the third snow storm THIS WEEK here in Concord, NH. I am not complaining...really! It would be silly to wish for snow and then complain about it right? The only one who is not crazy about it is our dog Clara. She just sticks her tail between her legs and stares at me as if to say, "can we go inside now?".




The kids have build large snow forts and tunnels and we have HUGE snow piles on the curb. We have also had a LOT of hot chocolate. :)
