Mama and Bessie go to NH, part 2

On Tuesday evening we went to a friend's house for dinner. Bess had a ton of fun playing with a little boy from Bratislava named Martenko. It's amazing what two kids can do without language!


Grandma had some rehearsals the next day, so Bess and I went into Holderness to see the Squam Lakes Science Center. It was great, and Bess really liked seeing examples of native animals like black bears and white-tailed deer. Bess is saying "hi" to Daddy in this picture. :) She was very brave, and climbed down a ladder into a "tunnel" system that ended with a very tall ladder going up to a slide. She even did the whole thing twice!


On Thursday we got to go swimming at the Albert's house with a couple other NHMF families. We made up a Humpty-Dumpty game that Bess played over and over. She would sit on the edge of the pool or the step, and wait for me to say "Humpty-Dumpty had a great FALL" and then just keel over into the water where I would catch her just in time. LOTS of laughing!
Grandma and Bess took a little break from swimming to walk around and enjoy the nice view.
