Ruggles Mine, NH

So we headed up this small road, to something called Ruggles Mine, on a hunch...

And at the top we were not disappointed.  The view alone was awesome!

Then we headed into the open pit mine to find some cool rocks!

Which cave should we go to first Dad?

I think that one!

So do I just swing the hammer at anything in the cave wall?

Mom found us!  Quick hide.

Just look at these cool rock pieces lying on the ground.  Can we take one of these?

Or do we need to hack off a piece of the wall? :) 

 There's more?  Awesome!

I think Mom is in awe....

I used these sunglasses as safety glasses.  They work.

Me and Dad are some cool dudes huh?

And we hacked off some cool rock pieces.

There were some great big cave entrances.

Mom showed me this cool spot where lava had once flowed.

Then me and Dad went and explored near this small underground pond.

I then went around to one of the other entrances and walked down to the edge by myself.

Hi Mom.. Hi Dad...

Eventually Dad came around and joined me..

This place was cool.  We need to come back here next year, and bring some better gear (like a wagon)!

Killington VT

What did I agree to?

Dad said it will be fun... I'm not sure about this!

AHHHHHHH! We are way up high...

AHHHHHHHHH Are we going to stop?!

Okay that was fun.. We'll have to do it again later.

Dad and Me... Ready to head up into the rope course....

Um Dad... Is this okay?

Okay Dad... I think I was wrong... This is too scary....

I need help Dad... I can't move my feet anymore....

Why did I do this?  This bar has no sides!

Okay the bigger steps are easier for me.

After I came down.. Dad went all the way to the top... That is him up there waving to me.

Now to the chair lift!

Dad and I are quite silly at the top of the mountain.

Mom needs to work on her form...

See Mom.. Like this!

I love my Dad..

Back down we go....

Just don't hit the stop at the bottom okay Dad?

This is really fun!

Oh I got it this time...

Me and Mom are going to do it first!

Weeeeeeeeeee!

This time with Dad for a third time!! It's fun!

One last chair ride down from the top of the mountain.  All of us together.

This was a blast!  We'll have to come here again!

Booka and Boppa's New Kittens

Look at this cuuuutttteeeee Kitten!  I think I'm going to eventually take him home with me to be mine!

Booka has got his two sisters.

This is the fluffy one.

Oh no! The other one is climbing on my shoulder...

I had a fun weekend in the country with Booka and Boppa.
