Hot Summer Fun

Well it's been a little while and we've been a little busy, especially Jen and Brooke. They really get around, as you'll see. Since the last post they have been on their share of trips to playgrounds, campgrounds, pools, lakes and mountains. Kingston Lake with the Haas's, Mt. Chocorua with Nicole and Tim, Jens parents old campground with the family and friends up there, Jens parents pool and more playgrounds than I can name here. I don't take those pictures so I have little to say about it other than what I've been told so if I left anyone or anything out I apologise but I probably know nothing about it. There's also some pictures from Uncle Scott, Aunt Therese and my cousin Jennifer's visit and Aunt Pam's birthday dinner. Rather than try and recap all of it here I'll let the pictures do the talking. All of the pictures except the hike can be found right here, or by clicking the pictures above or below, so click away and enjoy.
I was however part of the latest hike. I was the mule actually. We went up to hike Mt. Chocorua with Nicole and Tim. They had never been with us, I don't know if Tim had ever been, but since he was in the Army we figured he'd have no problem with it. It's a great trail on a great mountain but most of you who have ever been with me know that because I take almost everyone on it as their introductory hike. If it were rated like ski slopes it would be a blue square. A nice intermediate trail. We managed to get in a great day for hiking, sunny for most of it and then clouds rolled in but it was fairly cool also which makes for a nice summer hike. We had a great tie, I think they did too. I guess we'll know how much they liked it if they go again but for pictures from this trip click here or on the picture above or below.My father and I played in the NH State Father-Son tournament again this week. We didn't win but we got a step closer than last year. We shot a 75 net 63 which was good enough to tie for 9th gross and take 6th net. Not too bad considering neither of us have been playing real well this year. Good enough to place here and win out flight in the PCC Member-Member so that's not a bad year in my book. You can see the final results from the state tournament here if you want.

Other than that we're headed up to Lake Winnipesaukee for the week for some much needed R & R. We cant wait for that. Sun, swimming, golf, hiking and more. Maybe we'll see lots of you up there, if not and you want to see lots of us up there check back next week. I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures from the week. And just in case you're interested we will probably do a little hiking, probably Mt. Major one day and maybe something in the White's too so if you might want to get some fresh air and exercise with us bring your gear, everyone is welcome to join us so we'll either see you there or you can see us here. Bye for now.
