Hatch Family Reunion

We just got back from my grandpa's 80th birthday party with all of the fam. We went down to Monticello to a really nice place in the mountains with cabins. We had some really good food, a talent show, a slideshow, and lots of fun and games. Here are some of the pictures..







My cute sis!
The Newlyweds! Sarah and Ski-B.
Grandpa teaching Daven to fish!
Cute Daven in the tire swing!
My cute Grandpa---80 years old!
Grandpa's famous tire swing!
Volleyball with the cousins!

Daven just lost his first tooth and looks darling! I can't believe he is getting so old!

Yeah Avery was pretending Nick wasn't holding her. :)

Nick's birthday on Sunday night at the Hart's! 26 years old! Nick blew out the candles in the wildest fashion I have ever seen!

Yeah Nick's fish was so small you could barely see it! haha. But I was just happy he caught one.

Logan's first fish!! The best is when Nick was the only person that hadn't caught a fish and Logan goes, " Nick is never going to catch a fish." Nick caught one later but it was pretty funny that Logan said that out of nowhere.
I can't get enough of this Avery Bug! This is the cutest picture I think!

Nick and I were driving out of the campground and stopped the car for a second and then all the sudden looked over. Yeah---deer just like 2 feet away. We saw SO many deer where we were over that weekend. And lots of baby deer! :) You could find deer so easy and it was way cool.
Okay...and our drive home was a memory I hope to forget! It was wild! We were taking my cousin Jared to the airport (his flight left at 5:15). Well..we left with plenty of time until at 2:45 we realized we had taken the wrong turn 3 hours OUT OF OUR WAY! So...when it said 179 miles to Salt Lake City at 2:45 and my cousin had to catch his flight at 5:15 we booked it! I was sooooo STRESSED! We made it to the airport in record time at 4:30 p.m. I couldn't believe it. We drove in silence at 100 MPH in complete stress. :) But we made it...thankfully!

Garden Before...

And After.....






Nick and I have worked hard on our yard this summer now that we know more what we are doing. So just thought we should post some pics. Will the summer please last forever!!

Boston Tea Party 2010

SO....Looks like we have just gone on our last BIG vacation for the year. Time to settle down I guess. :) But we have really been having so much fun this summer! We just got back from Boston this week. It was so much fun to take Nick there and show him some of my favorite things to do there! Here are some pics!

Abby and Adam made us the most delicious dinner. It was so fun to see Abby (my old roomie)! She is darling!
Aren't they a cute couple??
Oh how I miss this river!!
The freedom trail in 95 degree weather and 100% humidity!!

Thanks to our good friends (Lorna and Chris) we ate some really high calorie, but delicious hot pastrami sandwiches.

The swan boats--that was a favorite!


The public garden is beautiful!! If I was homeless I would camp out here.


Charlestown
The Old North Church


These little italian boys in Little Italy got a hold of their dad's shaving cream and were getting it all over. It was really funny to hear a lot of Italiana yelling and seeing those boys get in trouble. :)
Best Canolis ever. :)

My old house (my room was on top). They have actually improved the areas around the house. It was fun to take Nick here.
This is how we felt walking around in the heat. No words can describe it...Nick's face below says it all.
Mount Auburn Cemetary! Nick even said this was one of his favorite things we did!
This was so cool- I have never been here before. But the Adams family is buried in the crypt of the church next door to the visitor center in Quincy. It was so cool! I just love John Adams....probably one of my favorite presidents (if not my favorite). I definitely know more about history now because of Nick.
John Quincy Adams library...amazing. Wish we could take pictures inside but we weren't allowed.



Go Sox!! It rained and they had a rain delay for an hour but then some people left so we got to sit closer and that was way fun!

John Adams house

So we went up to Maine for two days and went camping! It was seriously way fun! We bought a queen size air mattress and inflated it with our own lungs. It was a pain but TOTALLY worth it. I probably slept better camping then in the hotel. (and Marci...we didn't have to set up camp in the Peterson's backyard.) :)

Another highlight=eating lobster close to a lighthouse in Maine. Amazin!








Campsite #2
What about Bob?


Our last stop= Concord---oh I forgot how much I love this place! Every where you turned it was so pretty we took so many pictures but the mental pictures are the best.
Old North Bridge.


Well...our trip was great! We want to go camping in Maine like every other year now. So...if anybody wants to join us let me know. :)
