time to go

a couple of weeks ago the playgrounds started to look like this...

 and the kiddies like this...

 ..so we decided it was time for vacation. and off to new hampshire we went. a couple of days at storyland made for a rested, happy family.

 oddly we landed here for quite a bit.

on both days.

matt had a cranky start, crying that he just wanted to go home and "never go to storyland" (not sure where he gets this from) but after the first ride he was certain he wanted to stay. i made him beg a little.

 jack thought everything was a roller coaster. even the lame balloon ferris wheel

ben took it easy.

as good as it gets

PS - how do you make sure kids don't crash at 4pm?

solid milk chocolate moose pops of course.

an added bonus for dad: rescuing jack from mcdonald's playland. ha ha ha ha. why are they so sticky inside?

can not believe summer is winding down.
