Story Land 2009

It's been a while since I posted anything. The nice weather that we have had scattered here and there has kept me outside enjoying the sun. We are back into a rainy pattern now, it's just amazing how much rain we have had this summer. It has really hurt the tourist industry and probably will for some time to come. Who wants to come to Maine if it's going to rain practically every day? This is unusual though so hopefully it won't scare everyone off for too long.

Hubby and I decided to take the grands on a little day trip last week. They have been wanting to go to Story Land in New Hampshire so we took off about 7 AM Friday morning. It's about a four hour drive with a few pits stops on the way. We were armed with umbrellas in case it rained but it was sunny and hot, just perfect!

We walked around looking at all of the sights and going on the rides. Well, except the ones that get you soaked! I can do without walking around the rest of the day in wet underwear!

See the fake horses?!! Back in the day they had the real thing.

We rode inside the pumpkin.
I remember this spider from years ago. You set on the stump and the spider comes down. Actually you set on the 'tuffett' as it's about Little Miss Muffett!

Poor Grampie got elected to go in the twirling turtles! I would have barfed!


One thing they had fun learning was how to milk a cow. You had to pull just right to get the water to come out and they got pretty good at it, good enough to squirt each other in the face!

Guess that's enough about Story Land for now. It's a great place to take younger kids, very clean, safe and lots to do. When we were taking Son at that age we always stayed overnight at a motel nearby but seeings as Son and DIL were leaving the next day to go to Boston we wanted to get the grands home the same day. We got back about 7 PM. Everyone was tired but it was well worth it. Oh and BTW whoever invented the dvd players for cars should be paid a mint! They sure come in handy on long trips! :o)
