Today was the perfect summer day. It was sunny and in the mid-70's with a slight breeze. Aghhh...it felt nice after the heat we've had to deal with this summer. Although Camden had some weird, sudden sickness yesterday afternoon, he was feeling much better today and we decided to go on the adventure that we had been planning all week. After an early morning nap, we drove around to the Warner-side of Kearsarge Mountain and hiked to the top. The Wilmot side (the side of the mountain that we live on) is a much longer and more difficult hike than the Warner side, and we usually enjoy hiking this side, but being 32+ weeks pregnant and taking along an almost-two-year-old, we decided to drive around the mountain and take the easy way up. Definitely glad we made that decision. Camden wasn't completely himself this morning and wanted nothing to do with hiking, refused to let Scott carry him and screamed bloody murder if he wasn't in mommy's arms. It was a sight to see. Luckily we made it to the top, and he kind of snapped out of it and started to have some fun. I carried him in the Ergo the whole way down the mountain and we figured between Camden and my pregnancy weight gain I was probably carrying around 60 more pounds than usual. Let's just say I got my workout for the week! After our hike we enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Foothill's of Warner and got ice cream at a cute little spot down the road. We were ALL wiped out by then, so we headed home for our afternoon naps.
Our very tired, very sad little boy...
My TWO babies!
After a nice long two hour nap for Camden he was feeling much better and we decided to join the rest of the Benson clan at the Wilmot bandstand for a free concert! It was very entertaining to watch Clara and Camden entertain the crowd with their dance moves and we had a blast! Gotta love small town life - and we even got free popcorn! What could be better than that?!?!
Scott bought this "special" treat for him and Camden to share - a cupcake in an ice cream cone (?!?!?)! I was personally disgusted, but Scott insisted that this is a normal treat! I'm not so sure!
Dave and Clara having some snacks...
Kyle and Roddy are staying with my parents for a week before relocating to California! Kyle became close to my family when she was a student at Colby-Sawyer and I've had fun hanging out with them this week when Scott has been so busy coaching camp!
Another wonderful summer day. I love this teaching gig! June, July and August make all those stressful months during the school year very worth it!
