Weekend Away

How far Ben & Pete have come..... 5 years ago the would spend the weekends at Ben's camp and it did not consist of wives and kids. In fact, I bet they don't even remember what happened on some of those weekends... hahaha!! Last weekend we got to go up and spend the night and what a great relaxing time we had. Pete and I always enjoyed going up there but this was Peter's first time up since he was in my belly!!! He loved it just as much as we did! It was a great weeekend had by all! Thanks Ben & Bethany :)

Enjoying some time with my little man after dinner!


Bailey has never been around babies and she did so well with Peter!!! He really wanted to play with her and she was really good with him, as you can see he had fun with her!


Bailey got tired from all that playing, so Peter gave her a kiss goodnight!


While enjoying some after dinner beverages, Pete left an empty one on the coffee table and Peter was quick to grab it. We laughed for a minute, then Ben thought it would be fun to teach him some adult activities.......


He figured it out pretty quick, which make me nervous if he goes for a guys weekend up there!


After he had a lot of fun playing with Bethany! She'll be great when she has kids of her own.... hopefully soon, hehehe!!!


Ben switched to a more kid friendly activity in the morning and he loved it! We had a great time and.........

......... he made sure he said goodbye to Bailey!!

Katahdin Trip

Life with a 4 month old can be really tiring! Pete decided a few weeks back that it would be really good for us to try and get away just him and I. We have had a crazy summer and an even crazier fall coming up! I thought it was a great idea. Go camping for the weekend and relax! Ha! He got the idea to hike Mt. Katahdin, the highest moutain in Maine! It's elevation is 5,268 ft! It was named by the Penobscot Indians meaning " The Greatest Moutain". It is also the finish point of the Appalachian Trail. The most famous hike to the summit goes along Knife Edge, commonly misnamed "Knife's Edge", which traverses the ridge between Pamola Peak and South Baxter Peak. The mountain has claimed 19 lives since 1963, mostly from exposure in bad weather and falls from the Knife Edge. The Knife Edge is closed during periods of high wind.It was one of the hardest things I have ever down but one of the coolest!
