Today we hiked Squam Mountain. The weather was perfect! The hike was great with ladders and caves. It was hard for all of us so I'm nervous for next weekend. After the hike we went to the country store at Squam Lake and then to Meredith. It was a great day!

Today we hiked Mt Pierce in the White Mountains. It was a beautiful day. We stopped at the Mizpah Spring Hut on the way up.  It was a steady hike with one steep section after the Hut.  On the way home we stopped at a swimming hole. Becky, Ellen, Kelsey, and Billy jumped off the cliffs.  

The swimming hole we stopped at was beautiful.

Today we set out to hike Pemigewasset Trail (a 3 hour hike) The exit to the hike was closed so we drove to the next exit and Billy got off at the Mount Lafayette hike (hence the kidnapping by Billy!  We were diverted to a 6 hour tough hike!!) The hike had stunning water falls but we were socked in with clouds at the top. It was by far our hardest hike yet!!
