Vacation Pictures Part-1

I have just discovered that we took over two hundred pictures on our vacation to Maine! We had such a great time and wanted to record every moment of it! I can't begin to describe the fun that we had on our trip, but; hopefully these pictures will capture some of the happiness that we experienced together. ENJOY!!!!

There are plenty of more pictures to come; but, these pictures were of our day in Boston, and our ride to Maine! Tomorrows pictures will be of our first days in Maine!! Yes, these will be of our skiing adventure. STAY TUNED!!!!

We're home!!!! We have finally arrived safe and sound back to Long Island. We are so happy to be home. The only thing that seems strange to us is that there is no snow in sight! We have become so accustomed to snow that the flowers blooming in our yard seem sooooo strange! It's nice to be experiencing Long Island weather again. Hopefully I'll be able to post the rest of our pics now that I'm home. Also, tomorrow my friend Lisa and I are presenting a children's piano recital so I'm sure there will be some great stories from that. But, for tonight I will say goodnight. I'm hoping to get some rest after the LONG ride home.

The computer if being really funny today. I tried to post more pictures but they wouldn't upload. It is a little over 50 degrees today. Believe it or not there is still TONS of snow left. The nights here are still VERY cold, and windy!!!!! Monday we went skiing and believe it or not I got the hang of it and fell between only 5 to 10 times, closer to 10 I think!!!!! Abbey, you would love skiing here, Roseland Ranch is nothing close to the skiing here!!!! We'll have to come back and take you with us, you would love it. To top it off you don't have to use the tee-bar, you use the lifts!!! AMEN!!!! I miss you so much and can't wait to get back home!!! Tuesday I woke up to the most aches and pains I've experienced in a while. My arms hurt worse of all because I had to use my poles to pull myself up every time I fell!!!! Justin has learned to ski also and Josh is really good at snowboarding now!!! Josh was determined to conquer snowboarding and HE DID IT!!! (TEARS!!!) Today we took a walk through the woods where we are staying and we walked down to the frozen solid Rangely Lake!!!! It is still frozen about a foot and a half in depth!!!! I'll have some great pics of that as soon as I can get them up!!!! It is beautiful up here; but, Long Island still becons me to come home!!!!! We are exspecting a really bad rainstorm tonight, but you wouldn't believe that because the sun is shining to brightly today that the snow hurts your eyes!!!! Tomorrow we are going skiing again, hopefully I'll make it through the end of the day!!!! Friday we will be leaving with a long drive back home!!!!! I can't wait for the ferry ride it is my favorite part of the journey back home. Well I could rambol forever but I think that just about covers everything! In closing I can't wait to come back home and see all of you, until Sunday...BYE!!!!!

Off We GO...

Before I forgot, I wanted to say goodbye to all my blogger friends. You haven't heard from me much lately because I've been cramming to get all my school work up to date so that I wouldn't have to bring much work on vacation with me. We will be leaving in less that 24 hours to go to BOSTON(my favorite place ever) where we will spend Thursday night and Friday, and then we will be driving the rest of the way to Maine to spend the rest of our vacation until next Friday! We are so excited to be going away, and I'm extra excited because I get to spend a day in Boston. Any chance I get to go there brings me soooooooo much pleasure! I get to show my brothers my very favorite city because they have never been there before! As you can tell I'm very anxious! Be sure to check my blog next weekend, there will be PLENTY to share I'm sure of it! Until till then...
