A visit from Utah

It's always great to have visitors. Not only because we love family but also because it's a great excuse to get out and do some touring of New England.
Paul's parents came for a visit and we definately wore them out. But we all had fun!

 First was to York, ME where we saw the Nubble Lightouse. One of the oldest lighthouses, still working. When it was first built they had to do everything manually and they lived in that little house on their own little island. They don't let poeple over there now.
Then we stopped at a small beach for a quick feel of the sand. This was Caleb's first time at the beach and he loved it! He was screaming with excitment and enjoyed running away from each wave as it came closer.

 We of course had to visit Fenway Park at some point in our residency in New Hampshire. So we bought the cheapest tickets possible, got a babysitter and headed to Boston Red Sox game all decked out in our Boston Red Sox shirts.
 Paul and I had free babysitters (grandma & grandpa) so we headed to the Boston Temple! What a beautiful building!
 We had only a few days of nice weather, but luckily we made it to Winnipesaki lake for a dip in the cold water but mostly fun in the sand. I'm amazed Caleb let us bury him like this, he's usually such a chicken.


 This is how grandma and grandpa play at the beach.
 There is a great place for ice cream just a few minutes from us, and they have their farm animals to pet and look at, plus a great big sand area with TONS of trucks. We enjoyed it all.

 We also celebrated Caleb's 2nd birthday, I'll post about his later. We walked through a dozen old houses built as early as the 1600's, visited the Joseph Smith birth place Memorial and of course ate lots of treats and took a few naps.
