Storyland


























It was such a beautiful weekend that we decided to pack the car up for the day and head north. Our original plan was to camp out in the White Mountains overnight, but between the lack of time and the idea of staying in a tent with two babies, we decided against it. The kids were so well behaved though that a day trip worked out just fine. We got to the park around 10am and Maddie was rearing to go. Some of the days highlights of our day included going on the Polar Coaster and the Flying Dutch Shoes. We went to the circus where there were performing dogs, gymnasts, and this crazy dance show. Maddie drove us around on a tractor and an antique car. She went on the log flume with Brian.

Maddie got her face painted like a puppy dog which was her favorite part of the day. We stopped off at Friendly's for dinner and ice cream before heading home. You can see Maddie passed out, face totally smeared, sitting in her car seat on the way back.

As an aside, we ran into Kevin Scanlen, a college acquaintance from the "Burg". Also, this is so totally weird and random....We are wrapping it up at the park when all of a sudden I see Lauren, then Ryan, and then Ben. I shout out to Lauren and she seems to be surprised seeing us out of context too. They were up with their parents for the weekend and intended to go back to Storyland on Sunday. Will, Rory, and Marie were in attendance but very busy playing in the tree house. Maddie was too, enjoying the slide. Maybe next time we can organize something together guys. Nice to see you all.
