(This post is the first in a series from a new guest blogger, Adrienne, who also resides in New Hampshire with her family.)

Visit the NH state fairs this fall

Posted on September 2, 2009 by Ray Bisson

When my family moved from Connecticut to New Hampshire in 1980, I was 10 years old. We tried to become active in the community and meet new people. One group I joined was 4-H. I was in 4-H until I graduated from high school, but that’s a story for another day. While in 4-H, we used to travel to the State fairs [...]

A summer spent at baseball games and with friends

Posted on August 31, 2009 by Ray Bisson

This summer, besides being wet and cold, has been really busy. Our oldest son decided to try out for the 9U All-Star baseball team and was accepted. At that point, we realized that our commitment to explore New Hampshire was going to be limited. With our weekends being spent at baseball tournaments and practices, we did not travel [...]

South Mountain at Pawtuckaway State Park

Posted on May 26, 2009 by Ray Bisson

We recently took a hike to South Mountain at Pawtuckaway State Park. We wanted to go on an easy first hike in the hopes that our four year old would enjoy hiking and we could do additional hikes this summer. We wanted to stay close to home, but do a walk that we have not already done. I found this hike [...]

You can explore the Rock Garden, a jumble of glacially deposited granite boulders and [...]

Canobie Lake hosts top-notch entertainment.   This Sunday, May 10th, moms get in free to Canobie Lake Park and are treated [...]
