New Hampshire Summer 2008

So, we had another fabulous summer in New Hampshire at Lake Winnipesaukee! We just love going and visiting Grandpa and Grandma Temple's lake house and spending a week with the cousins.

The kids were just a little excited when we finally got to the rental car in New Hampshire at 1:30am. The funniest part of the journey was when we landed and Maddie started to cry because she said we weren't at the lake yet.

Maddie was ready to play with her cousins! One of the kids' favorite things to do at the lake (besides play in the lake) is to play World Series whiffle ball. Maddie and Katherine were great cheerleaders and Gracie showed the boys how to hit a homer!
The kids are just a little bit excited to be togetherKatherine and Maddie were best buddies!Maddie loved sleeping with her Mitch and Hunt!The boys loved sleeping in everyday after long nights of playing hard.The kids really did love eating at Sam and Rosie's. They were just sad because they were missing their moms because we were out shopping and the men were in charge.William's favorite thing to do with his cousins at night is play a little Texas Hold Em. His mom was the queen of the poker table though!Maddie's favorite part of the trip was getting her nails done by Aunt Sheri!Everyone loved Jackson. Aren't he and Mitch adorable together!?!Gracie and Bailey loved taking care of Jackson!But, nobody loved him more than grandma and grandpa!Are these two twins or what?

After being sick most of the trip, grandpa finally got to get some snuggle time with Jackers and he loved being with his grandpa again!

Jackson had his first boat ride.

And his first swim in the lake (he really did love it, I promise).

If you can't tell the kids had an awesome trip! Thanks grandma and grandpa. We love you.
Thanks mom and dad for a fantastic trip. I think this was the best summer yet. We can't wait till next year! And, not just because we get to get rid of William for two weeks.
