"The Bear"

Well it had to happen sometime!

The good news is that both Peter and Emmet had very mild cases with no real complications.

Peter had a high fever and felt beat up for three days. Emmet started a day later, & still has the fever, aches and cough

The bad news is that I think dad might have caught it too!

The weather has been beautiful this Fall, in North Conway.

After a wet Spring and an on and off Summer, the Fall Foliage was perfect and the last fall has been warm & balmy.

So, off for one of our favorite walks. Pudding Pond. First we pick up Emmet's buddy Ryan.

On the mountain bike trail we found a neat rock ramp, then came across beautiful red dragon flys, and lots of fresh beaver meals.

Finally we made it around to the pond and found a new beaver dam.

Another Great Halloween In The White Mountains!

Carving pumpkins, Dressing up as super villains, and of course grabbing as much candy as you can!

The Wild Things are loose in the Great White North!

Black Bear Realty designed another fun addition to the Jackson NH Pumpkin People tour.

This Hunter doesn't know what he is missing while he enjoys a nap in the "Indian Summer" warmth of October. Check Out this display and may others on the Jackson NH Pumpkin People Tour!

Asleep under a Pumpkin Tree, the Hunter is surrounded by a Red Fox, A Little Skunk, A Fat Tom Turkey and a Surprised Little Deer.

Happy Birthday Peter!

Peter celebrated his 11th birthday with his friends on Sunday. The crew headed to Lost River just outside Lincoln NH.

Lost river is a narrow valley filled with huge slabs of granite from the ice age. The river disappears under the rocks and runs in and out of caves.

You start at the bottom of the "Flume" and climb up along the river, following it in and out of the caves.

Some of the caves are big, some are small, & one is so small they call it the Lemon Squeezer!

After we made it out of the gorge it was time for fun. A little prospecting at the old mill. The boys all found minerals and then we were off to Lincoln NH and Elvio's Pizza.

Then back over the "Kanc" to Bartlett over Bear Notch Road. The boys shared some really great gifts with Peter. Then Cake and Ice Cream for all!
