Bartlett, NH

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!

Another Great Halloween In The White Mountains!

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

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!

One Last Trip To The Lake Before School Starts.

This Summer had a late start, but the weather has been wonderful these last weeks before school begins.

This year the kids go back to school before Labor Day and are missing out on some of the best swimming and hiking weather of the year.

On the Real Estate front, home sales in the North Conway NH area have increased in August, base mainly on lower prices as the bank owned and distressed property is sold off. Prices seem to have bottomed out and wont drop much more now that unit sales are reducing inventories. We are forecasting an increase in sales in the White Mountains for each of the next three months with level or slight increases in prices till the end of the year.

Story Land & Family!

Sometimes the best thing you can do is just just have a little fun. ( Oh, the kids liked it too!)
