Crescent Lake

This year we took our two week summer vacation in a new and perfect spot.  We rented a beautiful home on the quiet Crescent Lake in Wolfeboro NH.  We had a wonderful time swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, running and biking.  Here are some pictures of our time on the lake.

Ahren and I celebrated our 11th anniversary.

Lunch is more fun with friends - Maddie and Austin

Zach and Gigi work on a cake for Lexi's birthday

Nicole and I went out paddle boarding.

The ducks came for a visit every day.  The kids loved it!

We took special care of "Half Bill" while we were there.

Heather and I went for a ride on a clear day.

Zach and Dee have a heart to heart.

Silly group of kids.

We went for a long kayak excursion.  Lexi went in her own kayak, tied up to ours.

Zach is ready to go!

Off we go!

Lunch.

Happy for a rest.

We stopped at an island to eat, but couldn't go onto it because it was protected.  So we had a quick lunch and off we went.

Heading back to the house.

Gigi was really trying to protect herself from the sun.

What a great trip!

Lexi turned 9 while we were away!

Lexi became an excellent biker while we were there!

We went to visit the bears at Clarke's Trading Post

Amusing outhouse on the bike path.

I loved my running/biking times with Lex!

This spider was huge and awesome!

Lexi gave lots of paddle board lessons.  Miss Annie got wet.

Zachary led us on a morning hike.

More fun with friends!  Alex and Abigail, Mikayla, Callie and Cole, and Lexi and Zach.

The only bad part of vacation - my car died.  :(

We ate at Lexie's Landing in Portsmouth one evening and were wowed by this amazing view!

Track cars on the bike path.  So funny!

Lexi rode ten miles on this day!!  This was our turn around.

We had a wonderful vacation and can't wait to return next year!
