Busy, Busy, Busy

We have been very busy these past couple of weeks! It is hard to believe that SUMMER is halfway done, it always goes by far more quickly than WINTER!! I enjoyed a 4 day weekend two weeks ago with the boys and we embarked on some VERY enjoyable adventures !
On Friday, Jody and her two boys, met us in Gorham and we headed to Watchic Lake for some swimming and playing. This is my second time enjoying this GEM of a beach that is only 7 miles from my house, who knew ! All the kids had a great time and I braved the water the entire time as well, mostly to keep an eye on Nathan and Brady when they were in the water.
Here are some shots from the lake.

After the lake we headed back to the Hanisko home for some much needed naps and some resting for Jody and I! All 3 children napped like champs, but Nate decided he wanted Jody and I all to himself, so I didn't really get a break, but that's ok!!

After naps we all enjoyed some dinner and then we got really brave and took all the boys to the Maine Academy of Gymnastics for open gym! This was SO much fun!!! All the kids had a blast as did I running around crazy like a kid myself and bouncing around on the trampolines, I was having flashbacks to my gymnastics days! (Thanks Mom and Dad)

Saturday, we all got up early and embarked on another 12 mile bike ride. Jon got to pull the boys as I coasted along on my road bike, I don't know how he did it, but he did and no complaints along the way!!

On Sunday, the boys and I, enjoyed a visit from Alicia and her son Ben. The boys slept the entire time, which was fine because Ben was a super preemie and really didn't need the extra germs around him!! He was 1lb 8ozs when he was born and now he is all the way up to 5lbs, he is so cute and doing so great!! You can read more about his adventures at

It's hard to believe this is how big Nate and Brady used to be!! Thanks for coming out to visit ALICIA!!

Finally on Monday we enjoyed some R&R at home, getting some great (much needed) LONG naps in for the boys. We also enjoyed playing outside and swimming in their kiddie pool!!
