Not Quite What Daddy Had Planned.

We have many things planned for this trip that the girls don't know about because we love the element of surprise and watching their little faces when they see something really amazing in their eyes. Yesterday was meant to be one of those days for Lily. We were driving 2 1/2 hours away to Attitash to an alpine slide. Well, we drove and we drove and we finally got there only to find out they haven't opened yet for the summer......SAY WHAT? Well we were not going to be beaten so we plugged back in the GPS and headed up to Mount Washington instead. Not much fun for Rosie but she doesn't care and just goes along with everything.  The car we have hired has the swivel back seats so the kids find that to be entertainment in itself.

Ditto Lily.


The enormous hire car


As we climbed up and up the 6288 feet to the summit there were many gasps and oohs from various parts of the car but the funniest bit was when Lily in a really tiny voice asked, Am I going to die today? Now probably most parents wouldn't laugh at this but honestly it was hysterical and having Andie with us just made it funnier since her comment was, well lets just say the odds are higher than yesterday.

We reached the top and it was freezing and I mean freezing...not funny.

On top of the world




We stayed a few minutes and hopped back in the car where we blasted the heat and headed back down the treacherous mountain.  We had to make a little pit stop so that Lilipop could play in the snow. It was much to cold to Rosie so her and I stayed in the car or close to it and collected pebbles which she won't let me throw away? These pictures were taken from a long way away so they are not great but you get the jist. Lily in the snow in June....insane!

I know you can't tell it is Lily Jacob and Andie but it really is. On one else was idiotic enough to park their car and trek half a mile to a patch of snow so seriously you know it is them!


Today it is lashing rain and is very cold so we are staying close to the hotel and finding some adventures here to conquer.

Stay tuned for more adventures shortly.
