Lucas Pond
The New England weather this summer has been… mixed. No, that is too kind. It has been crappy. It has been wet and it has been cold. The days with no rain at all have been scarce. We set a “record low high” on July 14 with a high of 66. Crappy.
But, between the raindrops, we managed to have a pretty good 4th of July at Lucas Pond, Northwood NH, with Jett’s family. We ate a lot a good food. And a fair amount of other food, too. The grills were running Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (the 4th). Hamburgers, hot dogs, steak tips, marinated chicken breasts. Cole slaw, potato salad, potato chips and a variety of potluck side dishes. No one went hungry.
Coming all the way from VA were Jett’s sons, Joshua and Devin, plus their boys, Patrick (visiting from CA) and Zachary. Joining them were cousins Chance (with Emily and their newborn daughter), Riley and Jacob. Jett’s sisters and her nieces. A full house.
Apparently concerned that we hadn’t eaten enough, Devin treated us all to a lobster fest on the 4th, followed by a trip to Johnson’s for ice cream (where the kiddie size would feed a classroom).
While there, niece Allison was notified of the birth of her first grandchild in GA. I got a picture of her getting her first ever (with many to follow) photos of her grandchild. Sweet moment.
