Thunderstorm

In the past few weeks, New England has had some crazy weather and lots of Boomers! One surprised Ben while eating his fishies. But the good thing is he's not afraid.

Nana and Pepere's Camp

For a quick weekend away, we headed up to Errol to visit Nana and Pepere's camp. We expected rain all weekend but ended up with beautiful weather...and lupine.





Ben is starting to really love camp. With all the possiblities to see moose.



And wear fun moose hats.



There's lots of room outside to run around and no cars except his.




He took time to see and touch everything. I'm not sure if he liked these flowers.




We'll be back soon.

Pals Morgan and Navin

On a beautiful evening (before sitting 4.5 hours on the couch for the Lost finale) we had some great times and dinner with Morgan's and Navin's families.

All smiles on the swingset.





Morgan loves pretzels.



Even sliding doesn't stop her.



Eventually Ben's small pink car broke down and he was left waiting for the service vehicle to arrive. He was told to wait with the hood up but eventually flagged down some help.



Mom came to the rescue, cash only of course.





Ben gave Navin a pedicab ride around the yard. It's an easy way to get people around with low environmental impact.



He was paid in hugs of course right before we had to head home.

Bubble Mower Running Hot!

This guy could have a career in mowing lawns. Hopefully he'll do mine anyway. He runs his bubble mower so fast that the bubbles don't even have a chance to pop before he runs them over on a second pass.

Neither the camera or cameraman were harmed in this video.
