Mama and the girls return to NH after 4 years. First and last stop, the Pemi. One of our favorite place in the world.
After a day of playing in the beautiful nature of NH, Samuel still begged "please park!?!?!" So, Mama had another first in NH - the playground at the Plymouth elementary school 9/15
A choo choo next to the river!? Does it get any better??
Samuel thinks Cedar is silly. Cedar has always loved digging in NH. How easily it all comes back.
