Fun Fourth!

So what do you do when it's 11:00 pm on the 4th and the town next door didn't have fireworks for you to watch from the front porch??? Hmmm, you get on the computer to look and see where some other firework shows may be nearby. Well, we found out that the Mt. Washington Hotel was having an extravaganza of a celebration. This place is where we were married and try to visit every year or two. Nicholas has never been there with us and pretty soon we won't be able to just pick up and go on short notice. It was decided.... ROAD TRIP!!! We got up early (not really, I'm not an early riser) and got out the door. First order of business was to drop the Snoop Dog off at Yaya's house for a slumber party! My two guys in the back waiting to go. MP decided last minute that he had to water his flowers, AGAIN!







Ahhhh, here she is! We've actually never been in the summertime! Only winter or late fall at the earliest! It's funny to see green surrounding her! But wonderful! Someone somewhat recently purchased the entire resort and she's been under many major renovations. Thank goodness it still feels old inside and they've maintained almost the same decor but just new and fresher feeling! The feeling I get when I'm there is like being home, it's weird.



They had like a mini carnival/fair across the street at their ski resort. It was fun for Nicholas and he got to do a bunch of jumping/bouncy things, they had little obstacle courses, water dunking, face painting etc.



Most of you don't know this but I'm terrified of heights... I never used to be when I was younger and used to ski and never had a thought about getting on a chair lift. Well, I guess my 36 yrs. on earth have had an impact on that one! They were doing rides on one of the chair lifts to one of the mountain peaks and I jumped at the chance! I always try to overcome things by doing them. This is probably the first time you'll hear this; it doesn't work people! I keep getting and going on this height crap thinking it'll empower me and I'll get over it ~ NOPE! :)



I was clutched on to poor Nicholas SO hard because they had an open area like where your bum meets your back. A BIG opening. I was terrified that his bum would slide through and poof!

Needless to say, we made it safely to the top unscathed (except emotionally). The view was fantastic and you can see how small the hotel looks from this peak! I wish you could see Mount Washington behind the hotel... in this picture the hotel is just at the base of the mountain and where it get's like a dark blue color is the base of the mountain...

Me and my little peanut!!

My guys....

The main dining room ~ we didn't eat in there this time because of a certain 4.5 yr. old!

Diners are entertained by a wonderful 5 piece band/orchestra and are invited to dance~

Just like the old days ~

The view from the back of the hotel...

Contemplating life and giving thanks for the astounding beauty through the window that I'm looking out of.... the view in the picture above this was taken from the same window!

It's been a month and a day since referral! We haven't rec'd any new pics. of our babe and it's killing me. Being away for a day was the only time in this month that my stomach wasn't in knots and leaving my computer obsessed!

Well... I haven't posted this for over a day because I keep trying to figure out why youtube won't let me add a 10 second video clip of Nicholas on a bouncy slide... he screams like a girl! :)

I'll keep trying, but, in the meantime, here's the post!
