Family Visit #1

George's brother Caleb, his wife Stephanie, and their daughter Lyla came to visit a couple of weekends ago.  It was the first time we met Lyla, their 8-month old daughter.  We had a great visit, had a chance to catch up and see the baby!

The entire gang!

And my other son...

Yes, I am very proud!

Hot Cross Buns - You know the tune!

I think the kid has some talent!

Brewfest!

George and I went to the NH Brewfest at Redhook on Saturday.  It was quite fun.  George was the designated driver on the way there and I drove us home!  We ran into a couple of guys from George's fantasy baseball league and those fellows were quite entertaining.

I tried several beers - they gave you a 3 - 5 ounce sample of each.  The most interesting one was "Smashed Pumpkin" - another pumpkin brew by Shipyard.  It was a bit intense.  George liked a Double Red by Redhook.

Is this the Smashed Pumpkin?

George was kind enough to hold my beer!

Smile!

UNH Tailgating!

We went to the UNH football game today and did a little tailgating before the game.  Pat, my mother-in-law, joined us too.  We enjoyed some delicious breakfast burritos and mimosas.  UNH played great and easily beat Villanova.

Smiling for the camera!

George and Mrs. Cook!

I like tailgating!

Benny has his own style!  Note that Jacob has a splint on his finger.
Hopefully it is just badly bruised!

The ladies and mimosas!

End of Season...

My parents took Benny and I out for a boat ride today.  It was a beautiful day to be on the water and enjoying Portsmouth Harbor.  We even saw two seals.  (My dad insists it was the same seal!)

After the boat ride we went to a pumpkin patch at a local church and then had a delicious lunch at Loco Coco's in Kittery.  And then, we went to Lago's Lone Oak in Rye and ate way too much ice cream!  My parents and I had "baby" cones and Benny got a small.  I can't even imagine what a "large" serving looks like!

On the dock.

Thumbs up!
