Lil' Pea's last trip to NH in utero...

We got back yesterday from a week in NH. It was fabulously beautiful there and we were reluctant to return. The weather was awesome and we spent a lot of time just chilling on the porches of our parents. There isn't a ton of excitement to report, so I will let the pictures tell about our week:

Jaime & Jon came over for some hanging out. We played some Mario Kart and had dinner at Margaritas. Then we decided to go play mini-golf at Chucksters. We had some ups & downs...many problems with balls in the water and someone even had a problem walking. (sorry Jaime) I, on the other hand, couldn't bend down to take my ball out of the cup, so I needed help with that. Fun times all around, though.
Doesn't Jon kind of look like the woodchuck in this picture? I don't know what it is...

We got a nice shot of a rainbow from Aaron's porch in Dover.

Aaron wanted to take a trip to York Beach so he could get some salt water taffy from Goldenrod's. I am pretty sure he has eaten about 15 lbs. of it by himself already. It was an awesome day in Maine, though. We didn't really "hang out" at the beach, but we walked around and stuff.
Here is Aaron feeling the water...it wasn't as cold as one might assume for June in Maine.

Since it was so nice we took a drive up to the Nubble Lighthouse and hung out up there for awhile. Plus, parking is free there and we were out of change!

Here are some photos of our baby showers. Aaron really had a thing for the cuddly stuffed animals. Friday night we had a shower at Grammie Thorner's house and then on Saturday we had a shower and Grammy McKernan's house.

Trying out Lil' Pea's headband...

Aaron with another cuddly bear...this one was ridiculously soft.

A fun little baby shower cake...

The baby showers were really nice & everyone was very generous and thoughtful with their gifts. I started to freak out over the quantity of baby stuff, but mostly that the next time I was going to see all these people, I was going to have a baby. I think I am slightly recovered, but it is scary.

We also took a trip to VT to visit, but I don't have any pictures of that. We just chilled outside chatting & watching birds. Again, the weather was fabulous.

We went to UNH a few times. Steve had orientation and we got to do a little UNH-style eating at DHOP & Jp's.

I am also pretty sure that we used about $50 in Dunkin' Donuts gift cards over the course of the week. :) I think I could have stayed there forever reading on the porch and drinking DD's. However, now I'll be enjoying myself on the couch and setting up baby stuff. That is also fun!!
