Canobie Lake Park

I went to my very first amusement park ever, Canobie Lake Park in Salem, NH. I went with Mommy, Grandma and Uncle Tim and all sorts of cousins - Lisa and Nicole my first cousins once removed, and Arianna and Mikaela, my second cousins! It was so crazy! I went on all sorts of rides, and even went on one all by myself!!! We had so much fun!!
Here I am with Grandma, Arianna and Mikaela in line for my first ride ever, the Ferris Wheel. Mommy says she used to be afraid of this ride! I liked it!



Here we are in line for the Flume. I didn't go on this one, but I got to watch everyone splash down the hill!
Dancing break with Uncle Tim!

Watching someone Whack A Mole!
Watching Mikaela and Arianna go on an airplane ride.

OoooOoo, the scary Haunted Mine. I wasn't scared at all by the ride, but Tim's scream scared me for sure!
Fun with crazy mirrors!
I went on this ride with everyone. It was a fun, but kinda fast and just a little scary.
We took a break to eat, and Mommy found a place for some googly eyes. Uncle Tim is making me laugh, as usual. :)
This is me on my first ride all by myself!! Arianna and Mikaela rode horsies while I sat in the sleigh. It was fun!!!




I also got to go on this bouncy jeep ride with Mommy. It was a little scary, but I didnt cry or anything, just made me a little nervous.
AND I went on the boat ride with my second cousins. Arianna held on to me the whole time, she is super sweet and kind. Mikaela rang the bell for us. Ding, ding, ding!
My second cousin Nicole!






Mommy drove the jeep while I sat in the passenger's seat.
All these rides sure tuckered me out!

But not for long! There was more fun to be had! This was our last ride, the big carousel!





It was so awesome to be able to spend the day with my family. Everyone used to go here a lot when they were kids, it's only 30 minutes away from where my Mommy grew up.

I love Canobie! I hope we get to go every year! Sounds like a good tradition to me!!



Here is a slide show of all the pictures and videos taken on this day... there are LOTS more!! ANd some great videos, check it out!!


Grammie and Grandpa, and Suzanne visit

This is my grandpa Steve's best friend, George's mom, Suzanne Marchand. She writes to me and sends me money for "my piggy bank". She lives in a nursing home and we visited her with Grammie to say thank you so much!
Here I am playing with Grammie while visiting.

This is Jean Pierre, Suzanne's other son.
This is my Uncle Adam.

Grandpa introducing me to their cat, Indigo.

Grammie and Grandpa are my great grandparents, my mom's dad's parents, and they are 80 years old and have been married for almost 60 years.




I really like to put my toes in my mouth!





Pulpit Rock Hike

Mommy, Grandma and I went on a 1 1/4 mile hike to Pulpit Rock in Bedford on Friday. I have never seen a forest like this! Such skinny trees and such rocky, rooty trails!


I do love trees!

The pulpit.

After our hike we went to see my cousin (once removed) Eric and his wife Jen's house in Weir. They own a nice house with a yard and even a forest with their very own trees!

Vermont Road Trip

Mommy and Daddy took me on a road trip to Vermont. We first stopped at Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory where we met the Stutz's, Sarah, Steve, Samuel and Adeline.

Adeline is so tiny!! She is only 5 months old.

We went to the graveyard, all these flavors have expired. :( I will never get to try them.
Then we were invited to Sarah and Steve's house where we played and I got to pet a big doggie!!

THEN we got invited to Sarah's parents house, Mary Ann and Ed Wilson. It was such a special night, Daddy got to go on an ATV ride and toured the Stutz-Wilson sugar maple farm. Yup, they made their own maple syrup for the first time and entered a fair and won First Prize! Mommy and Daddy say it was delicious! After dinner the Wilson's sent up a special flying lantern for us. It was awesome! That family is so wonderful. We all felt so welcome and loved. They were trying hard to convince us to move to Vermont... sounds good to me! What fun we had!
The next day Mommy and Daddy took me to the Vermont Teddy Bear factory in Burlington. We went on the tour (lots of cheesy bear jokes!) and then picked out a teddy for me. This is my new teddy bear before he gets stuffed. I am so excited!!! I named him Baxter Bear. He is the BEST!

Before my Teddy was stuffed, Mommy made a wish and sealed it with a kiss on Baxter's heart.

Daddy grooming my new teddy bear!
Daddy write "Noah Carlin Was Here" at the Teddy Bear Factory.

My family at the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory!
After the factory tour we drove on the islands in Lake Champlain, but Mommy got super sick! We tried to make it to AUsable Chasm. Here we are playing on the playground near Ausable Chasm... sadly we were too late to go on the tour. :( Something to do next time!
