More Mountains and a Birthday

 

Climbing Chocorua:

David and Rachel, Tom and Clarice. Kathy took the picture.

They went up Chocorua on a beautiful day. 

Clarice on the summit looking down on Chocorua Lake.

Back at home, there was a goat walk (the goats: Princess Lea and Chewbacca) to Heron Pond accompanied by more Star Wars figures:  Julie as Princess Lea, Gwen and Simon as Jedi warriors, Toby as Chewbacca.  The Force went with them.

Next day, a much smaller hike up Foss Mountain for an evening picnic.

The gang:  Andy and Julie, Toby, Kathy in the purple jacket, Clarice and Tom. Behind are Gwen, Bella, Simon and Rachel.

Lounging.

 

Kids playing on the rocks with Silver Lake in the background. 

 

Finally, an early celebration of my 73rd.

About to blow out the candles with a sweet smile from Gwen.

 The Panama group went home at the end of the week.  

We miss them--it was a great month with family here.
