We arrived in Concord on Monday afternoon - yay! After some maneuvering, we managed to get the RV parked in the side yard next to Grammy's house.
For 4th of July weekend, the whole family was gathered together for food and games. Even Tammy made it down from VT, and this was the first time all eight of Grammy's "kids" have been together in one place in a LONG time! Of course, this warranted photos...
Part of the 4th of July gathering is a food competition, and this year's food of choice was finger sandwiches. After tasting and voting, the winner was...James (with my help) last minute concoction! :) All of the entries were delicious.
Even though it tried to rain us out, games were later played, some with the help of a rain tarp. Since most of the games involved getting wet, the rain didn't matter anyway!
It was great to see everyone together, and to visit and catch up. Michael and Anna brought the newest addition by later in the day, little Alexander who is 4 1/2 months old, and adorable!
Over the next few days, we enjoyed some R & R, and Sam enjoyed some time with Auntie Lu and Maddie, going to the planetarium and Chuckster's. We also spent a day with Liz and Shawn at Lake Winnisquam, and a day with Jim, Maddie and Adam kayaking on the Contoocook River. Sam also got to spend some time playing with the neighbor kids, and James changed out the refrigerator in the RV, only to find that the replacement part was defective and so he changed it back to the original. It seems to be working okay now, so we hope to avoid any heat waves that seem to tax it.
Grammy had a Thanksgiving dinner for us the day after 4th of July, so we had plenty to eat while we were in Concord! After two weeks, and depleting her food reserves, we figured it was time to roll out and head to New York state to explore.
