Columbus Day Weekend.

Apparently I like to post about holiday weekends a month after they happen...

Once upon a time....

There was a family that took an annual trip to the White Mountains for Columbus Day weekend.

This trip was different for them because almost half of the family was missing, but they still had a great time. 

They started off their journey with breakfast at the ever-so-classy IHOP.

They were a little disappointed that a majority of the fall foliage had passed, but they still were able to catch a glimpse of some bright beautiful trees.

They stopped at one of their most memorable places, Clark's Trading Post.

Even though they have seen the "Bear Show" many times, they still get a kick out of the tricks and think it's amazing what they can do. They play basketball, swing on a giant swing, eat ice cream, ride in a stroller , recycle, sit in the chair and many more fun things!

There was a new member to the family vacation this year, his name was Mr. B. Mr. B is far too cool for such childish adventures and he did not find the same amusement and love for Clark's Trading Post.

This year at Clark's there was a new little Segway trail which was a shaky, unstable, nerve-wracking load of fun.  

By early evening they made it to their new "home" for the weekend.

Where they played games...

Sat nice and close during dinner...

Relaxed and watched TV..

And took turns playing with each others' hair..

Let's be clear not everyone played with each others' hair, because that would be just a little weird.

They woke up early the next morning in the freezing cold to attend the annual Columbus Day Sermon on the Mount. They took a ride on the gondolas to get to the top of the mountain.

And reached the top where the temperatures were even colder.

They returned back to their place and had a mini photo shoot to capture some memories of Columbus Day Weekend 2010.

Then they went home and played with their little puppy who they missed dearly.

The End.
