Today it rained. Lots. So we started the day with a conflab about how to structure the day to get most of the scheduled items in, and still stay nominally dry. Obviously the hike to Bingham Falls was not going to happen. The falls will just have to remain undiscovered and unnamed until another Bingham […]

The plan for the day was to accomplish 3 things: Visit a Granite Quary, Visit a Maple Syrup farm, and take a nap. We managed (most of us) to do all 3. We were out the door in time to catch the 10:30 tour at the Rock of Ages Granite Quarry down the road a

The day started out kind-of slowly. Our flight wasn’t till after noon so we spent a somewhat normal morning – a combination of playing, packing, remembering “one last thing” and such. Eventually Glenda arrived and we loaded everything into the van. She drove us to the airport (Thanks Glenda!!!) and we checked in at the

The Marshall-Binghams arrived yesterday evening – driving from Oklahoma. Though it was quite late, Jesse still had the energy to totally humiliate Papa at the air-hockey table. Today was spent making final trip preparations, attending to last minute details of real life, and enjoying not being cooped up in a car. Among the baggage arriving
