First day of summer

This weekend we headed north for a quick little getaway.  We stopped by Scott's Aunt and Uncle's home for a BBQ and to see their redo of the kitchen and porch.  Always so good to see them and cousins.  The food was amazing.  Smoked turkey and perfectly cooked pork loin with yummy sides.  It was a perfect way to spend the first day of summer.  After the BBQ we headed farther north still to New Hampshire to spend the night with friends from college and see their new baby.  When we lived in NH we were only 20 minutes apart and hung out all the time.  Their oldest Jack is 5 months older than Mikey.  Wow, back then we were new moms and clueless.  Time flies by.  Mikey was excited to see where he was born, Nashua, NH and now asks almost everyone where they were born.

She was so proud she climbed the spider web ladder by herself.  We got up to Mass early and let the kids run off some energy at a playground.

Enjoying the new patio and the kids are enjoying new toys.

Smoking the turkey!

It looks great Uncle Dave!

Yum.  Veggies.

More playing before the guests arrive.

 Jack and Mikey were so cute.  Almost instantly, Jack asked Mikey: "Do you want to take your shoes off?  Do you want to take your pants off?"  once we arrived.  It was hilarious, especially once Jacks, mom and dad, Josh and Betsy learned that Mikey loves to go pantless at home too!  They were instant friends and picked up right where they left off 4 years ago.

A total hit!  If we had a backyard for it this would be the next purchase. They could have rode around in this all weekend.
