Wow, what a summer!

It was a great summer for the Beardsley family. We went to the beach for a week, the lake for a few weekends, Storyland and to the beach trailer! We got to spend so much time with our extended family which we do not take for granted. Calan and Ryan became fast friends and Kaelen is still best friends with Emma but really took to baby Nolan!

As always we are loving up our grandparents and they are spoiling us in return :) Nansi and Grampy Bill took us to the beach for the week and to a fancy hotel that included a trip to Storyland! Ryan had his Octopus party at the beach and everyone was there. He had a blast playing chasing games with balloons with all his cousins and friends.

BB and Kenny took us up to the lake for a few extended weekends. There was a lot of swimming, nature exploration (toad, lady slipper, blackberries and a woodpecker!), canoeing and kayaking! We visited Becky's Garden a few times and left her dollhouse some gems from Kaelen. We also had a mommy head laceration made by Kaelen jumping off the dock while mommy wasn't paying attention. That made for an eventful afternoon!

We visited the trailer park in North Hampton a few times this summer. We got to explore the rocks and play in the sand with Grampy Mike and Grammy Lynn. Kaelen hung out for an hour or so "sunbathing" with Brenna and her friends one afternoon! They loved the tide pools this year and started to make their way into the water but only for short stints! They always enjoyed a nice candy treat from Grampy :)

Now fall is upon us and we are transitioning back into school and routine. We will always have our special memories of the summer of 2011. Thanks everyone!
