Is it really almost July?!?

It happens to be 63 degrees and rainy here today. That is NOT summer weather in my opinion. I can’t believe the 4th of July is on Saturday- hopefully it’ll be nice enough to spend some time outside.

While my parents were visiting us we had one day of nice weather where the sun showed up for us. The rest of the days were cool and rainy, much like today. Not the ideal weather conditions for enjoying the attractions that northern New Hampshire offers.

On the last day they were here, the sun came out and the temperature rose so we headed out to the falls to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.

Brendan led the way most of the time with Grandpa. The trail was much muddier this time because of all the rain we’ve had lately but luckily Grandpa prevented any major disasters.

Enjoying the view with Grandma.

The falls were much stronger than the last time we went thanks to a very wet and rainy summer so far.

I love this trail. It’s so pretty along the way.

We even found a spot to take off our shoes and dip our feet in the cool water.

The rest of their visit was spent being silly, Brendan’s favorite activity. He loves to put underwear on his head.

  There was plenty of time to play with his new trains. My parents spoiled Brendan much to his delight. They fell into the trap of taking him to the toy section of Wal-Mart, where he proceeded to grab every Thomas train in sight.

Brendan loved reading with Grandpa. Those two were the best of buds.

  He got to make a cake with Grandma and lick the spoon. What kid doesn’t love doing that?

Hands down, this is the best photo I got all week. Brendan loved playing on the air mattress (of course) and one night he happened to be naked while jumping on it. My dad grabbed one of Brendan’s sticky hands and smacked his little buns with it. Brendan loved it. He kept sticking out his butt for Grandpa to get him with the sticky hand. It was quite hilarious. Good times.

We miss my parents but are so glad they came to visit. And a big thanks for educating me on my garden (I have slugs eating all my poor plants!)- hopefully I’ll still get a small crop of tomatoes and beans. Come back soon. Brendan demands it.
