Madd Max Dine At The Public House On Page Hill

The adults.  Uncle David and Aunt Rachel.

Taisie.

Sam and Jess.

The cousins.

The whole fam.

Madd Max Swim Across Chocorua

Look closely at Gwen's head accessory.

Maddie, Jess, Gwen and Max headed out across the lake, and were met by Taisie and Aunt Rachel on the other side.  Max paddle boarded back solo.

Slappy Sees The Mist On The Lake

Out on the canoe at 4:30am with Sam.

For this view.

Madd Max Hikes Mount Chocorua

Taisie and Aunt Rachel joined all the way to Champney Falls
 

Max and some water.

Gwen and some rocks.

The big fam (Simon/David were away at climbing camp).

The Falls!
 

The petite fam.

The hike took about 3.5 hard hours to get to the summit.

Max made it up about a half hour before everyone else.

It's a pretty summit with a cool breeze on a hot day.

Madd Max Watches The Sandwich Fireworks

These dudes reminded Jess of the Carnegie boys of Le Nook, using the cherry picker to get to the roof for the views.

The fam is ready after tossing around glow necklaces in the dark.

The fireworks - they were petite and some were almost all behind the trees, but the overall effect was charming, if not perhaps a little befuddling.

Madd Max Hikes To The Fire Tower

Cousins on a bridge.

Maddie borrowed Sam's fancy camera.

Sweaty arrival at the Fire Tower.

Back at the house, Sam did some porch reading.

And a rainbow was reflected in the lake.

Madd Max Have A NH Day

An aunt and niece breakfast at the only vegan joint in town, The Station Bistro.

Followed by time in Taisie's studio.

And then a walk to Heron Pond, complete with little toads.

By way of the Bog Hike.

Checking out the pond leeches.

Swimming even after checking out the pond leeches.

The blueberry bushes around the pond were starting to produce, and some were just getting sweet.

Jess and Maddie continued the full loop around the pond, ending up very sweaty upon return, where Maddie had her last jump in Lake Chocorua.
