New Hampshire / Storyland Weekend

We just got back from a really fun weekend in New Hampshire.

The girls were great road-trippers! We stopped at a little farm cafe for lunch on the way up. 


Daddy - MFG road trip selfie

Look at her face when we arrived at Storyland! Someone was super excited!

We're here - let's go!

It stopped raining just as we arrived, so everyone got to run around

Waiting in line for Cinderella's pumpkin carriage

Riding the teacups with my big girl :)



Everyone loved the merry go round. Anderson thought she was so big!

Since it was a rainy day, there were no lines!
 MFG and Daddy off to the Polar Coaster


Wheee! This was hands-down MFG's favorite ride. I think she rode it about 7 or 8 times over the 2 days that we were there.

Of course, Tommy loved it too :)

Francie and I on the Polar Coaster

There was a new, BIG, wooden roller coaster that MFG was brave to ride. Once she was on it though....Poor thing! That is just sheer terror on her face. Tommy on the other hand is having a blast!
Storyland is great because there are lots of rides that we could do as a family. This is the jungle safari ride.


This sweet little muffin had a big time!

Cute girls

We stayed at Storyland for a few hours on Friday and then checked into the Christmas Farm Inn in Jackson, NH

The next morning after breakfast, we drove just up the road to check out Jackson Falls




The girls loved it!


Beautiful

And then we headed back to Storyland!
Meeting Bo Peep and Rapunzel

More rides on the Polar Coaster

We all rode the Flying Shoes 

You can see Anderson sitting with Tommy below

The girls liked this cow that you can "milk" (Sprays water)

We all rode the Hot Air Balloon ferris wheel

We rode the train around the park and Anderson waved to everyone


Tuckered out!

MFG couldn't wait to get a slushee


Posing with the clown


Daddy and Francie on the teacups

Such a poser! "Mom, take my picture with these dolphins!"

A special treat from Storyland. A kitten (of course) that she named Princess Teacup.

MFG picked out this little mermaid for A. She loved it for about 10 minutes and then threw it out of her stroller at some point and it was lost for good :(

Sunday, we drove through the mountains and enjoyed nature. Frist, we took a short hike in White Mountain National Park to Glen Ellis Falls.

At the trailhead 

Small waterfall

Gorgeous view

Family waterfall selfie - Anderson's face cracks me up!







After our hike, we drove to North Conway for lunch and stopped at the General Store


MFG picked out a lollipop from the candy counter and gave this little otter to Anderson. She was very excited!

Next, we drove across the Kancamangus Highway, which is gorgeous

We saw this waterfall/swimming hole at Lower Falls from the road and MFG wanted to swim


You can see Tommy and MFG between the rocks - they said the water was really cold!


Anderson watching everyone swim


We had a great time and are glad to be home!
