Easter and Morther's Day 2012

 Mom and Dad came for a visit at Easter.  I was really sick and missed out on a visit with Uncle Walter in MA at Bob and Beth's house.  Uncle Walter is my grandmother's (Alma Cameron) brother.  He came up to live with Bob (his son) and Beth in  MA.  I was able to go visit him in November but not at Easter.  Margot, Brooke, the kids and I were planning on visiting him during our Spring Break at the end of April but he passed away days before our planned visit.  I was lucky enough to travel to New Jersey with Aunt Margot to attend  his funeral.  What a great trip that was to see so many relatives I had not seen since I was a teenager.  It was overwhelming but so awesome!!  A great tribute to a great man and I reconnected with so much of my family!!


 Mom, Dad, Callie, Aunt Margo and Uncle Craig drove down to see Uncle Walter.

I was so glad that Callie was able to go and meet Uncle Walter and the rest.
Uncle Walter also has two other daughter's, Betty and Nancy.

My girls with Brooke's kids.  Always love our visits with them.  We spent Easter Sunday at the Hammons.


While my parents were here we took a trip to Parker's Maple Barn and had a breakfast that couldn't be beat with some good NH maple syrup.  It has become a trip we always take when my parents are here.


 

On Mother's Day, Emily had a lacrosse game up near Lake Winnipesaukee.  After the game we went into a cute little town and ate lunch on the deck of a restaurant over looking the lake.  I snapped a couple pictures of the girls near the water.






This was what we saw from out lunch table.
