White Mountain and Family

We kicked off October with a whirlwind.  My parents came to visit for a few days and we met them in Conway, NH.  We had heard that this town was a great location to experience Fall in New Hampshire at it's best.  It is also the location of the Kancamagus Highway which is a beautiful scenic route leading to White Mountain.  We spent time riding the train and seeing a little overview of the beauty, the colors, and the mountains in Conway. 


Each of the boys were excited to ride a train and take turns sitting with Nana and Poppy.  It was such a sweet reunion.  They were used to seeing my parents on a regular basis when we lived in Florida.  Now, we have to settle for every few months! 

Oliver has always had a special affection for Poppy, even when he was a baby!  I love to see these two together.  Poppy is so good with Ollie.  Every time we went out for a meal with my parents or rode the train, Ollie would call "dibs" on sitting next to Poppy.  Oliver calls poppy "Mr. Noodles" because of his moustache after a character in Sesame Street. 

 And of course we have our two silly boys sitting together.  Zander, who now hates to take a serious picture and Carter who always either looks guilty of something or overly excited about something paired up for a little while.  Carter is turning out to be quite a character.  He is funny, silly, and spirited!  And did I mention extremely energetic!!!

 

 

Yes, a golf course right in the middle.  How beautiful.

A soccer field in between the mountains.  How cool?

Thumb in mouth......nap time!

After a little time in Conway, my parents left and headed back to a town near our home.  However, Beau and I and the kids wanted to do so more exploring.  We decided to hike White Mountain.....in the rain.  We had never really gone on any hikes before with the 3 little ones, so we were not really sure how they would hold up.  But to our surprise, they all did great.  It was rainy, chilly, and FUN!!! 

The half way mark.  We're still smiling.

Me and my guy.  Still totally love this man after almost 15 years of marriage. 

After our hike, we got into some dry and warm clothes and headed home.  Needless to say, the boys slept very well that evening and so did Beau and I.  My parents stayed a few days with us.  I took them to the small town Apple Festival and then the Pumpkin Festival.  We also took the boys to pick out their pumpkins and had fun decorating them.  We went the easy route this year....fast and not messy.

We enjoyed our visit with Nana and Poppy and we look forward to the next one.
