Labor Day Boating

Boating, water skiing, tubing, wake boarding, knee boarding, swimming, fishing, grilling, and relaxing.  This afternoon we joined the Smith and Donahue families on the water.  We had a great time and can't wait to be invited again.

Pioneer Day Primary Activity

The Primary from our ward put on a great activity today.  They children were pioneers and went along the Mormon trail (around the chapel) and learned about the struggles and games of the pioneers.  Even though it was super hot the kids had a blast!

Canobie Lake Park

Today we took Mimi Rae, Chris, and the kids to Canobie Lake Park.  We all had a great time but felt that after this year I think we are done with this park.  Next year I think we'll do Six Flags!

Only in New England are water fountains called bubblers
