Trip Up North 1

I am splitting our trip north into two parts because I took pictures off of different cameras. So the two parts are not necessarily in chronological order. The second post will fill in some gaps in these pictures.



We flew into Boston on June 29Th and immediately drove down to Connecticut to spend some time with Charlotte's Aunt Natalia, Uncle Josh, Cousins Lucia and Nolan.



Here Memere is helping Lucia and Nolan with their art.

While in Connecticut we took a group stroll through a bird sanctuary/nature preserve. Lucie pointing at the birds/owls while Uncle Josh carries her around.

Charlotte is always happy to go for a ride in her stroller. This was really the first time she saw trees in forest form, and had the joy of riding through it.

Nolan deep in thought looking out over the pond.

Nolan sitting with Pepere.

Taking a break.

Uncle Josh and Lucia.

Nolan checking in on Charlotte. If you look closely, you can see that Charlotte is more interested in the rice cake Nolan is holding than she is in Nolan.

Fascinated by the turtle puppet that Nolan and Lucie gave her as a gift.

Back in New Hampshire, sitting in Pepere's chair.

Charlotte got to meet Memere's friend Lynda on the 4Th of July.

We went to a family outing for the 4Th of July at Charlotte's Great Aunt Cheryl and Great Uncle David's house. This was Charlotte's first trip to New Hampshire and the first time she met most of Daddy's aunts and uncles.

Sitting out on the deck with Aunt Chris, Aunt Sylvia and cousin Jessa.

Playing with Aunt Chris and Aunt Denise.

Talking with and getting kisses from Aunt Denise.

Having fun with Aunt Margie and being silly trying on her sunglasses.

Laughing.

Sitting with Mommy.

Having a nice time with everyone on a beautiful 4Th of July.

In the next post, I will add pictures of more firsts for Charlotte, including her first airplane ride, meeting her Great Memere, meeting some aunts and uncles from Sarah's family, and meeting some other friends of ours.
