Summer went by too quickly. In July, the boys and I visited Canobie Lake Park in NH where the boys' dislike of rides was fully confirmed. We had fun watching everyone else ride the rides and it was a lovely day.In August, we celebrated Mimi's birthday at Southwick Zoo. A great day, beautiful weather, yummy cake and much fun.
Summer wound down with lots of playground fun, ice cream, trips to CJ's for ice cream, trips to Dairy Queen for ice cream, Friendly's ice cream (are you seeing a pattern?).
Summer was completely wrapped up by Hurricane Irene. We had power until 3 days later. Go figure. We lost the top of a tree at the back of the property. All in all, we fared very well. So long Summer, we barely knew ye.
