Various Vacation Fun

We all enjoyed spending time at the river.

 Allen and Liam worked on building dams.

 Devin was mostly interested in "rocks."  Sometimes it was actually stones, but who's counting?

 Allen and Liam went to see a parade that Rob played in with a marching band.

 This is not the marching band Rob played in.

 We also went to see Rob play in another community band.

 The boys mostly ran around.

 They made a few new friends.

And played with bubbles.

 The bandstand.

 A rousing game of.... ....whatever that is with velcro covered catchy things and tennis balls.  Devin had a meltdown or two because he couldn't control all the balls all the time, but Liam had tons of fun.

 Just walking down the road.

 After all our trips to the river Devin was convinced there was water lurking behind every line of trees.  He would stand like this and say, "See the water?"  It didn't help that the wind in the trees sounded like water.

 He really did love the rocks and occasionally needed to find out what they tasted like.

 Liam kept up pretty well with his progress on the summer reading program.

 We went to another concert where the boys were mostly interested in playing.  I swear, I had more than one shirt with me on this vacation, but most of the pictures show this one.

 "Harp Twins."  They play contemporary songs together on  harps.

Trying to take a picture with my phone while Allen took a picture with the camera.  Classic.

The last day we were there a storm hit that dumped hail.  It was a pretty dramatic view.

Liam Climbs Mountains

Allen and I weren't really up to mountain climbing this year, so Rob took Liam on a couple of different expeditions.

The first was up Mt. Bald and Artist's Bluff.

 "I liked climbing up on this small rock.  It's not the mountain."

 "I liked to show off in this pose a lot."

 "Sitting between two high rocks is very fun.  These are definitely not two high mountains."

 "This view is beautiful and I bet you can already tell."

 "I am attempting to climb this tree with the help of some other littler trees.  One of the little trees saved me."

Next was Mt. Pemigawassett. 

 "It's a rocky trail, but it was actually very easy."

 "Having lunch."

 "Climbing a rock."

 "This is a beautiful view."

"Mossyrock Mountain.  Hee Hee Hee.  My mom just wrote hee hee hee 'cause she thought I said it.  I'm pretending to be a superhero claiming Mossyrock Mountain."
