"Hey girls! Can I take your picture?" "Sure, let's do this"

True blue friends :-)

After changing back to the 21st century, some of us went down to picnic at the beach. It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day.
Goodnight!

It finally feels like summer is here! New England is so unpredictable. It changes so fast. We have been very busy with various events and studies. Hopefully I'll get more pictures of the everyday for next time. Hope you are all having a fabulous summer!

For His honor and Glory!

Forgetting to get pictures while we played cards, before we left we quickly gathered a handful for a picture... ok, so they were a little stacked

A hike at Blueberry Hill

I didn't know we built buses

Charting the course

A warning from Thing 1&2: "Caution: Slippery boards after rain"

Step, step... sink. "Eww... it's all muddy!" "What if the others step in it?" "Let's mark it so they know!"

Climbing... the cliffs of insanity!

Hola, Mamas!

Noah went from person to person. His dad carried him most of the way up...

Then Mom carried him. She was happy to carry him too. She always prayed that she would be strong enough to carry her grandchildren hiking. Since William was unable to be with us she carried Noah instead.

The weather turned out to be beautiful, despite the fact that it poured the night before and into the morning.

It isn't named Blueberry Hill for no reason

Unfortunately, the majority looked like this

"This is for you."

It must have been one exhausting hike for Noah

This place looked like something out of Narnia

After eating some of us went exploring...
