My 6 Monkey's: Our trip to New England

Our trip to New Hampshire and Maine was a blast. I hadn't seen my extended family in several years and their were a few new babies that I had not yet met. Their were so many pictures this was tough, I tried to just get group shots in their. My 85 year old grandmother has dementia but still had a sense of humor. It was great to see her and that the kids got to meet her. Isabelle is named after her mother, and she was so pleased to know that her mother was honored in that way.
My boys and 2 of their cousins got to see an airport and go inside of a 7.5 million dollar plane. We had a blast at the beach, they played in the tide pools for hours without a word. Isabelle loved her very first beach experience as well. We got to watch salt water taffy being made in Maine at the beach, we played candle pin bowling, we raced lobsters (OK so they didn't go anywhere, but we tried) then ate them. Adam got to take a tour of a maple syrup factory and taste the different "grades" of Vermont maple syrup. All in all it was a nice trip and for the most part a relaxing one. I wish we could have stayed longer.

My 85 year old Nana and I and my Dad, and one with the boys, then with Isabelle.

Sevreal of the "Cousins" outside at the beach, they had a large water balloon fight that was a blast.
