Happy Birthday Harper!! Harper turned 10 on February 10! How is she 10? Time flies by so fast. She had a great day! Started the morning off with waffles for breakfast. She opened her presents from us and got a iPod touch and the kiddos gave her a big comfy sweatshirt and a hat she wanted! We had our family over that night for dinner and cake! Harper requested chicken broccoli ziti from Ricardi's and ice cream cake! It was the easiest birthday dinner ever! She wanted an arts and crafts party theme! We got canvas for the family to paint which was fun! It was a great night!
The next morning we packed up the car and headed to North Conway for the weekend. We left super early in the morning and got to North Conway around 10 am. We couldn't check in till around 12ish so we drove around and walked through the town! We had lunch at Muddy Moose and got penny candy from Zebs. Once we checked into the hotel we had some quite time. We then headed down to the game room in the hotel and spent 20 dollars on playing lots of games! After the 20 bucks was gone we walked over to the outlets and did a little window shopping. Brett and the kids got some clothes at Under Armor. We then went back to the hotel and changed for dinner. We went to Barley and Salt for an early dinner since we were going to the ice castles that night. We had great dinner. They had mac and cheese for Hudson, so he was super happy about that. After dinner we went back to the hotel to get change and bundle up for the ice castles. It ended up being about an hour drive and the kiddos all fell asleep on the way there. We had to go through the Kancamagus Highway so it was lots of windy roads, kind of creepy during the night!! We arrived at the Ice Castles a bit early but were able to get in and it was busy!! We had fun walking through them, we went tubing, and got hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies. The ice castles were beautiful and lots of fun for all of us! It was a busy day for us so every one crashed as soon as we got back to the hotel.
On Saturday we all slept in till around 8. That never happens for me! We got ready and went to Peaches for breakfast. We got there at a good time because the wait started to get very long once we left! After breakfast we walked around the town again and then went on a train ride. Hudson loved it and so did the girls, but it kind of made me motion sick! After the train we got lunch. The kiddos and I got Chipotle and Brett got Dairy Queen. We walked through the outlets again, why not they were just outside of our hotel! On Saturday afternoon we had planned a sleigh ride at Nestlebrook farm. It was lots of fun! The place was really pretty, it was a bit warmer that day so everything was melting and it was very slushy!! After the sleigh ride we went to dinner to a place that I can't remember the name of!! It was really good! We ended the night back at the hotel room and watched a movie!
Sunday morning we woke up and packed up our stuff and went back to Peaches again for breakfast. This time we had to wait about 30 mins since it was Sunday and we got there a little later than on Saturday! After breakfast we walked through the town one more time and then headed home. On our way home it was starting to snow. Our car started to not drive right. The transmission started to go! Luckily we got home and were able to get our car over to Uncle Marks on Monday. It needs a new transmission! Ugh I hate cars. We are going to get a new one though, but there isn't anything out there!
Time to get ready for work, but I will leave you with some pictures from our weekend away! Have a great day!
xoxo,
Erika
