In October, Lego opened a new store in Madison Square Park. To celebrate they held an event where kids (and some adults) could help create a replica of the Statue of Liberty.

The trailhead we were trying to find the day before was super easy to find, when I knew where to look.

Nature is amazing. When this tree fell over it picked up the boulder it had grown around. How long until that boulder falls to the ground as the tree decomposes?

Noah was trying to head back down almost as soon as we got to the top. He was cold so I told him to take shelter in the trees while I took a couple of photos.

While we were in NH, back in August, we had lunch…

Like life, the path wasn’t clear.

But there was cool stuff along the way.

Then your family decides they don’t want to follow you up a grown-in logging road anymore.
