Overflowing Gifts

"Surround yourself in God's abundant blessings. He has given us an overflowing amount of gifts to be appreciated and cherished each day." ~Mama Hen

Our adventure continues here in New Hampshire. We have been filling our days with God's abundant blessings. On the fourth of July we headed to The Flume for a glorious hiking adventure. We were there on our last trip and Little Chick could not wait to hike it again. I took a bad fall at the start of the hike and really hurt my knee and ankle, but that did not stop me from moving forward on our trek. We packed a picnic lunch and ate along the cascading water. Beautiful! After the Flume we were tired, but decided to take a tram to the top of a mountain and hike a bit at the top. This was breathtaking! Then on July 5th we went to Storyland. Little Chick was so excited when she saw Pooh Bear! We went on many rides and the beautiful Queen Swan boat where we encountered a pirates ship passing by. Little Chick had her face painted like a princess. We ended the day with a fantastic dinner, ice cream and some swimming. It has been an amazing journey!

A Peaceful Symphony

"Being in the midst of nature immersed in the peaceful symphony of the woodland creatures makes one realize what God really intended for us all here on His great Earth." ~Mama Hen

It has been absolutely beautiful here in New Hampshire! Yesterday we spent the day at Clark's Trading Post where we saw their amazing bear show. The bears were adorable and did some fantastic tricks, such as catching a basketball and putting it in the hoop. Very cool! Little Chick had her face painted, we took a train ride and she also made her own candles. We ate at our favorite restaurant and of course topped the evening with swimming and a marshmallow treat. Today we had breakfast on the balcony overlooking the gorgeous mountains. What a great way to start the day! We then headed to The Lost River for some hiking and cave exploration. Little Chick loved this hike the last time we were here and kept asking to go again. We then had some dinner, ice cream and another phenomenal swim. It has been so much fun!

Make Every Day A Holiday

"Make every day a holiday!"

~Mama Hen

We are back in New Hampshire and having a fantastic time! On our way up we stopped at the Yankee Candle Shop in Massachusettes and had a picnic outside with Lolli and Gigi. The first thing we did when we arrived after our seven hour drive was head to the pool. Little Chick was so excited. Today we went to Santa's Village. We wanted to go the last time we were here, but they were not open yet. It was so much fun! Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays and spening a day in this beautiful village was spectacular. There were fun rides, yummy treats and a 3D movie which was so adorable! There was Christmas music playing throughout the village and so much to do and see. It was such an amazing day!
