Summer Time with Cousins...

We've had so much fun this last week with our cousin, Clara, visiting from North Carolina/Pittsburgh (they are literally in the middle of a major move and we're looking forward to our road trip in August to go visit them in their new home!).  We've been enjoying summer, spending lots of time with our families and making the most of this beautiful place we call home. 

The kids had fun at this great playground in Newbury...

 Cousins!!!

 A great big brother...

 Swinging high...

 Swimming in Pleasant Lake...

 Kayaking with Pop...

 We went strawberry picking on the hottest day!  The boys were great helpers though and we enjoyed a nice swim in the lake afterwards!

Juice dripping down the chin...

 I ran into one of my good friends at the fields and they later joined us for the USA game! 

 Proud of his pickings!

 USA! USA! USA!

 Scott's cousin and his family are visiting from Arizona right now.  They're staying with Scott's parents in New London, but we've enjoyed hanging out with them and showing them what life in NH is like!  They have two boys who are each about six months older than our boys!  So fun!
We took them swimming in the river!

 These two are buddies!

 Enjoying our screen porch with family!

 I'm in love with these curls...I have no idea where they came from, but they're precious!

 More soccer games (you can read about our obsession here)...

 The boys...

 2nd cousins picnicking under the trees...

 Sadie and her cousin, Mylah, explore the "Path to Nowhere" at Nan and Pop's house...

 So many things to exlpore!

 Micah played goalie today and did GREAT!  Even when one of the grownups shot it at the goal and it hit him in the face.  After a few tears he got right back out there!  So proud of my boys!

Looking forward to even more cousin/family time over the next few days!
