Strawberry Festival 2009

From Jun.09
Our little town has a festival every year at the end of June. This year we had a booth to raise money for our youth camp in July. Our booth was a water balloon toss. Notice the dad in the hole, after awhile people were putting their faces in the holes to cool off!
From Jun.09
Using our resources toting water balloons! We spent all day at the festival filling water balloons, giving out prizes and taking care of the booth. We went through over 1000 water balloons and still ran out early. They were a big hit in more ways than one :-) Hailey was a trooper and as you can see below had her own fun. Thanks to all who helped make this day a success!

Father's Day

For Father's Day we took Tim and my dad on a train ride from Brunswick to Rockland. What else would you expect?! Happy Father's Day to the best daddies in the whole wide world!

On Sunday Hailey actually sat through her first full board game. This might sound like a small feat for some, but she has never sat through a whole game of anything and I personally love games so I have been waiting for the day she would want to enjoy them with me. YEAH!

And who can resist this picture?! Hailey with her "baby" Bella! She is a great kitty who puts up with alot of Hailey's antics yet never has scratched or lashed out at her.

learning letters

From Jun.09

Hailey has finally taken an interest in learning her letters. We tried to start with A, but she didn't like that letter very much so we went straight to H and I! YEAH Hailey!

Yesterday we took Hailey on her first hike where she had to put some effort into it. Last year we bought a "packpack" as she calls it and all she has to do was look cute, this year she is to heavy for that. I looked up great hikes for kids online and Arethusa Falls came up. Lets just say, by kids I think they mean older kids.

While eating lunch we came across the butterfly garden above. Who knew they grew butterflies like flowers up in the White Mountains? :-)

From Jun.09

As you can see, this was no easy hike for those little legs, but she did amazing and hiked up all 1.3 miles of uneven terrain.

From Jun.09

She loved following the blue paint on the trees and rocks to make sure we kept to the trail.
