End of Summer Fun

Although we have plenty of nice weather and fun left this was the last weekend before school starts in New Jersey and we made sure to go out with a BANG!  Saturday night was our final Backyard Camping extravaganza of the year. The weather was perfect and everyone had a blast.




Time for movies and s'mores!





The next day after about 3-4 hours of sleep the grown-ups ditched the kids and headed to Lake Hopatcong for an AWESOME day on the water.  A kid-free 4 hours of swimming, sunshine, drinks and tubing that was the PERFECT way to enjoy the day.

Our bartender for the afternoon :-)

Time Flies!

Back in January 2010 this little guy was getting ready for his first day of Day Care at The Learning Experience on January 18, 2010.


After 5 1/2 years of learning and making friends and having fun this guy is picking out school supplies and gearing up for his last week at the learning experience and will then be heading off to Merriam Avenue Elementary school for 5 years of new adventures!


Doesn't even seem possible!

Vacation 2015

An entire week of amazing weather, swimming, hiking, amusement parks, visiting family and having a GREAT time.  I will let the pictures speak for themselves!

First stop, Reading for an overnight at the grandparents.






Next up, a trip to Jim and Crystal's to visit with the Carletons.




Then off to North Conway for a very busy, fun filled 5 days.

First up... mini golf, the pool and a few hours at Story Land.
















Day 2 - The White Mountains and Swift River










Day 3 - Echo Lake and The Conway Scenic Railroad














On Thursday we spent a full day at Story Land!!















On our last day we spent some time on the playground at the hotel before packing up and heading down to Meredith, NH for lunch, a visit to Grandma's house and then back to Gaga and Grampa's for more swimming and visiting.

















 
Always sad to see vacation end but it was a great week!
