Summer Staycation!

This past week the Doc had off from work so we planned some fun things to do while he was home with us.  We also did some relaxing and hanging around the house.  Since we did our big trip in April we kept this vacation local!

On Monday June 24th we headed up to Rumney, NH to check out the Polar Caves!  It was such a hot day that being inside the caves was like being in free air conditioning!  There was even one cave that still had an ice block inside.  According to the sign it will be about Mid-August before it completely melts.

The boys are ready to explore some caves!

But first Evan makes a friend!

And then the 2 older ones need to get in on the fun!

David, Shaun & Daddy in the caves!

I see you!

One last cave before we are done!  So we take a quick rest on this bench.

Spider web on one of the sets of stairs in the cave, it was pretty neat to see, especially with the sunlight reflecting on it!

On Tuesday we took the boys to see Monster's University.  They love going to the movies!  It was a cute movie though I can't say it was better than the first one.

Wednesday was our R&R day, we ran some errands, David had his piano practice but the best part of the day was staying in our jammies until noon!!  We had big plans to head to Santa's Village on Thursday so it was nice to stay home on Wednesday!

So we got up on Thursday, I packed sandwiches, snacks and drinks for all of us and we headed north to Jefferson, NH (which is a 2 hour drive for us!)  I had been a few times as a kid but this was the first time we took our boys.  It was a fun little park and David LOVED the water slides!  I'm not sure it was as fun as Story Land but I'm glad we checked it out!

Ready to have some fun!

Quick picture in the Sleigh while Daddy gets the tickets!

David and Daddy on the Yule Log!

David was tall enough to ride on the rides by himself!

Evan feeding the Reindeer!

Visiting with Santa!!

"Dave" found his name in the book!

Evan's loved the Reindeer Merry-Go-Round

David taking me for a drive!

Shaun driving Daddy and Evan!

Evan thought this ride was so fun!

Shaun riding on the roller coaster with Daddy

Having some fun at the water part of the park, had to bribe Shaun to ride down a slide with me!

Notice how many available seats there are, but leave it to Shaun to sit next to the stranger and make a new friend!

Friday we dropped the boys off with my sister for a sleepover and so we took advantage of the kid free time and went to see the new Star Trek movie!  It's always nice to be able to see a movie and have a grown up dinner out!  It was a great vacation and I'm looking forward to our next vacation in August!
