Storyland

We visited Storyland on Monday. It was a great day to go because the weather was perfect and it wasn't crowded.

brew pub

Our hotel was across the street from a brew pub, so of course we had dinner there!

harbor cruise

Last week we met Nana and Grammy in Portsmouth and went on a harbor cruise. It was about 75 degrees and sunny, so it was a perfect day! The bridge you can see in front recently got stuck in the "up" position. It's going to be demolished and rebuilt this fall.

At first I thought this must've been a fancy hotel in the past. It turns out it was a prison.

We got to see two lighthouses!

After the boat ride we had lunch at the Portsmouth Brewery and then went out for ice cream. It was a fun day!

baby snake

Jane and I were feeding the neighbor's cats and found a baby snake in their house! We rescued it and put it outside. Those are Jane's hands, so you can see how tiny the snake is!

Legoland

We went back to Legoland! The kids have been wanting to go all summer but I said they had to stop fighting first. Finally the situation improved enough for us to go, yay!

My favorite part is the room with all the Boston landmarks made out of legos!

Mybe a great gray owl?

We had to stop for ice cream, of course!

corn

Jane planted this corn seed in third grade... now the plant is taller than her! It's acutally growing an ear.

The waves weren't too big so Malcolm had more fun in the water.
