Noah entered the “tractor pull”.

His competition was strong.

This guy won. He could have peddled that cinderblock to those mountains.

Spectator.

Skunk Hot Dog for lunch! What’s not to like.

A photo of Noah caught avoiding his Skunk Hot Dog on local television.

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?

“Just keep climbing!”

Peaked.

Over it.

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.

It only “looks” like he turned to stone.

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

New Hampshire

geared up…

and went for a hike.

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.

“It was still fun right guys!?!”

“Right?”

After a long day at Santa’s Village, the best you can do for yourself is stay in a Yurt up at Milan Hill State Park. Trust.

The next day we went Kayaking with Mark and Sara Charest. The kids weren’t invited.

Noah and my parents were lucky enough to be invited for dinner at the yurt though.

Noah found the smallest snake I’ve ever seen.

Kicking Noah and my parents so we could have one more night in the yurt.

Let’s go for a ride. We’ll go back to August when we took a trip up to NH on Noah’s birthday. Nana, Grampa, and Aunt Mindy welcomed Noah with cake.
