The night then continued back at Natalie's for a delicious barbecued dinner, accompanied by drinks and lots of laughter. It was a great night, and the perfect way to start our new family tradition.
We decided to start a new family tradition: cousins weekend. Since we're all so busy, it's our excuse for us all to get together, catch up and have fun, hopefully once or twice a year. For the kickoff to the tradition, Natalie so graciously offered to host us all at her place in the Lakes Region. (and by all of us I mean there are a lot! Understandably, only a small portion of the ladies could attend). The weekend started with a hike of near-by Mount Major. We almost canceled the hike due to rainy/overcast conditions on our drive over to the base, but we decided to chance it. Luckily, as we approached the summit, the sun came out in the distance - which made for some cool photos. I highly recommend hiking Mount Major, it was a moderate 2 hour hike with spectacular views of Lake Winnipesauke. I can only imagine on a clearer day the views are even more vast and amazing!

The next morning, I took a trip down memory lane and embarked on a mini self guided tour of the Lake Winnipesaukee to visit some places I used to go to as a child.... (remember my first post on the Lake and this instagram from last summer?)
