Rangeley

We have had this weekend with the Siemen family planned for 6 months. With lacrosse & t-ball  keeping our life super hectic, it was such a fabulous weekend to get away and get off the grid!
 
On our way to Rangeley State Park, we stopped at Height of the Land to take in some views!
When we got to our campsite, we roasted hot dogs over the fire for a true camping experience!  
 
Peter got up at 4am to go on his first fishing trip with Pete & Ben.. it paid off, he got a fish!!
We took a hike to cascade falls gorge...
After lunch we decided to head out on Rangeley Lake for the families to take turns going for a boat ride. Ben, Bethany & the girls went first.
Our family selfie on the boat!
Enjoying being at our waterfront camp site after dinner....
Pete got a bug bite on our hike and woke up Sunday morning like this!
 Packing up.... A great weekend for us!!

New York CityGirls Trip!!

Last year at a basketball game some of us Wescott woman talked about doing a girls trip NYC and didn't get our act together to pull it off. So this President's Day weekend we did and had a blast! We arrived late Friday night and stay in New Jersey across from the Met Life Stadium. It was a 15 minute bus ride into the city!
Started Saturday in line to get tickets to a show! 
Lunch at Bowlmor!
After the show, we ended up meeting one of the actresses!

After dinner we headed towards Time Square and the snow made for some pretty sights!

Laurie & I on the bus headed to the city for day 2!
We started the day going to the 9/11 memorial. What a beautiful, moving tribute. 
Freedom Tower
After seeing the memorial we headed back uptown to enjoy lunch at Carmines!
Lunch was amazing and it such a fun weekend with these ladies!! Can't wait to do it again :)

Story Land Trip!

After a fun weekend at camp, We headed over to NH on Monday to Story Land! They have a great deal that any day you enter the park at 3pm, you get tickets for the next day as well. We intended to make the most of it and try to get on as many rides as we could! It wasn't as packed as we thought it would be and got on almost all the rides that first afternoon!
Peter & Jack thought the pumpkin house was silly!
Riding the tea cups! First ride!
Jack was JUST tall enough to make the polar coaster! Pete wondering why the heck I am taking a picture on a ride, haha! I had to capture Jack's first coaster!
Of all the attractions, of course the boys LOVED this one!!!
Attempting a selfie with Jack on the whales!
Pete & Peter riding the tractors.
Riding the elephant after the jungle safari.
As you get on Splash Battle, there is a sign that reads..Warning, you will get soaked!!! They were right! Peter loved it though :)
Still wet, so we tried to dry off on the shoes.
Jack about to fly high!
After a train ride around the park, we left the park around 6:30 and headed to dinner.
Peter wanted to take one of us, since I always take there picture! He did a good job!
We stayed at the Hampton Inn and they had a small water park. The boys were so happy, you wouldn't know we take them to Splashtown on a weekly basis!!
Tuesday morning it had just started to sprinkle when we arrived back at Story Land. There were NO LINES and we did all the rides again, sometimes we just stayed on the ride to go a second time. We made the best of it and had a BLAST!!
The boys(Pete included) had lots of fun in the Loopy Lab.
Peter was so funny at the magic show! As you can see from this picture, he was pretty amazed at some points!!
Waiting for the circus to begin!
On our way to Cinderella's castle! Even though the boys had no interest in meeting Cinderella, they thought it was fun to ride in a pumpkin :)
The only girl in the family meeting Cinderella.
Cinderella was on her way to tea, so she rode down from her castle with us!
Rainy day = no line for the Bamboo Chutes. In fact, Pete & Peter didn't even get off at one point, they just stayed on and went again! 
We had such fun time, and because of the rain, we got  free passes to go back again!  I'm thinking it would be fun on a pretty September day :)
