This summer we vacationed in Peterborough, New Hampshire. We stayed in a cottage called Ledgedge on a remote lake. This was the 1st time we had taken an entire week together since our honeymoon and we had a fabulous time. God blessed us with such an amazing week of relaxation.
Some of our memories include hiking Crotched Mountain, swimming across the lake, canoeing, star gazing, reading on the dock, talking, Dunkin' Donuts coffee, puzzles, no TV or cell phones, and much more.

Who knew that our trunk could hold 4 giant tubes?
These tubes carried us down the Ichneteknee River, a natural spring here in Gainesville with a constant temperature of 72 degrees. With crystal clear water we could see everything below us as the current carried us down the river. Along the way we saw turtles, birds, fish, butterflies and a whole family of otters. We had the whole river to ourselves and enjoyed Florida's nature at its finest.

Go Gators! Here is the Family Group Tailgating Crew for the season opener. We enjoyed great food and fun as well as lots of sweat. We brought almost everything - the grill, plenty of food (homemade hummus), drinks (lots of water), paper products - but forgot the condiments. LOL. OOPS. We've got plenty of more games to get it right. :)

Patrick and Katie came down to visit us in G-Vegas! We went to opening day at the Swamp. Before the game we tailgated. We wore our collector's item t-shirts (someone put the colors of the Pepsi logo upside down and had Roman numerals for 26 instead of 2006 on the shirts - OOPS). UF beat Southern Miss. We had a ton of fun.

Florida critters are cool! This one appeared outside of Christen's classroom on her first day last year. She has learned to love all types of critters (spiders, cockroaches, wasps, swarms of bees, etc...)

Here we are running the Disney Marathon last January. It was a cold morning, especially for Florida. We had many people ask us what our shirt said. To set the record straight, it said: "Those who run together, stay together." It became somewhat of our mantra as we trained for the race.

Here we are at PF Chang's in Orlando for our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. Once again, Christen orders Chang's spicy chicken (except she likes it mild and she likes shrimp instead of chicken). After a day at Sea World, nothing better than a little Chinese food.
