2010 and Our Seacoast Safari

I know it's been a little while since I posted when people start telling me the stuff on the blog is getting pretty old. Hopefully there is enough here to keep you happy for a while if you enjoy seeing what we've been up to and keeping up with Brooke.

For starters Brooke has been very busy hanging out with friends, going to museums and attending birthday parties. She's a very busy little girl. She also is learning some of her colors (boo and pupo) and she's starting to talk a lot more when she's not being shy. She's a dancing machine and whenever music comes on just can't help herself. There's also a few slightly older pictures that have been on Jen's camera since she broke it a couple weeks ago. We need to get her a new one so we can keep the pictures coming. We might get to that tomorrow but in the meantime there's pictures of most of that stuff right here if you'd like.

Other than that there hasn't been much excitement around here lately. Today it was really nice out, almost 40 degrees, so we decided to head out and explore a little. We had a few ideas of places to go and walk and stuff to see but what we ended up with was more like a safari. We started off hiking up Stratham Hill but after that we went and saw buffalo at the Little Bay Buffalo Company in Durham. Then cows at the UNH dairy barn, elk at the Wednesday Hill Elk Farm, also in Durham I believe, and finally seals down near Wallis Sands State Beach in Rye. I threw in a few of the ducks that arrive daily behind the cleaners at the reservoir too because I think it's kind of neat.

It was a pretty exciting day for Brooke since she loves animals and even the seals were exciting for Jen and I since we'd never seen them in the wild before. I was very happy to have something to use my new zoom lens on also so there are a lot of pictures of all that. If you'd like to follow along on our busy day, or even just see the animals, you can find it all right here. Thanks again for checking in. Hopefully there will be more pictures up soon.
