It’s been such a fun weekend ! Linus, Peyton, Riley, Rachel, Greg, and David all arrived just before five on Thursday afternoon. Saturday evening and Sunday morning we were joined too by Uncle Bill and Aunt Dovie. For the next few days we engaged in all sorts of fun activities as family. There was blackberry picking, stream stomping, games of Uno (Peyton won!) and of Apples to Apples (Riley won), bubble blowing (Linus was amazed), ribs on the grill, pancakes with sprinkles, goetta, marinated cucumbers and onions, warm afternoons and cool nights, a tent on the deck, hiking, dam building, splashing in the stream, and so much more. It just seemed to be the kind of experience of which memories are made. Now they have all left to return to their homes and our house seems too quiet.Â
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Magical!
