5 states in 5 hours.

The 4th of July I met up with Sarah and Carlos and we went to grab dinner before walking to the pier to see fireworks. Number one rule of living in New York City. Don't go to the fire works at Times Square on the Fourth of July, don't go to the Rockefeller tree at Christmas, don't go to Madison Square Garden for New Years Eve. This was the closest I have ever felt to dying from sweating to death. It was one of the hottest days of the summer, and it was so crowded I was feeling claustrophobic. At one point I was alone in the middle of a thousands of people and that was a kind of weird feeling. The funniest part that had us laughing for hours was the fact that most people there kept taking pictures of the buildings around us and the sky in which there were no fireworks. Still not sure what they were taking pictures of? Overall we still had a great time. Carlos makes friends with everyone!

Thursday morning I got on the train down to Connecticut. My aunt picked me up and we headed down to New Hampshire to Blueberry Hill. 

New York City--->Connecticut---->Massachusetts---->Vermont---->New Hampshire

 the train ride

The ride was absolutely gorgeous. I was loving the greenery, it was a nice change from the city landscape. 

I love New Hampshire. Its made of small quaint towns and I love that everyone knows each other. The house is called Blueberry Hill because of all the blueberry bushes. As soon as we got settled Emily and I went down to check them out. The blueberries aren't usually ready that weekend but I was lucky and they were ready for the picking. We just walked through the bushes picking handfuls and eating them. It was so yummy.

 Here is little Trey on his bike in front of the fire pit.

the pond down at the second blueberry field.

I got to ride a 4-wheeler for the first time. I am hooked! It was so fun. Riding through the literal forest at 40 mph with the wind blowing on you is just so amazing. Emily went with me the first time and showed me the little sand mounds and trails. She was joking about me going over one of the mountain bike jumps but i went over it because i thought she was serious. it was really funny. I was terrified to get on one but once i did I felt like evil Knievel. Even funnier was I later went with Kenzie on the same trail and I went over the same jump. I was going much faster that time though so i didn't realize i would fly through the air. Number one it was a miracle i didn't fall off. Number two it was really awesome. I was shocked but i landed it and i felt pretty cool. Kenzie said I had a look of shock on my face..yeah i wish i had a picture of that.

I got to spend some time with these little cuties. I mean seriously...they are so sweet i can't even handle it.

Friday we went to the lake house and I loved it! It was on the edge of a gorgeous little lake surrounded by trees and houses. I laid out and finally got a tan (or a burn for a week or so...and then tan!)

One morning I took a walk down to the little cemetery at Blueberry Hill. The house and cemetery are from the 1800s...how cool is that?

Me, Kenzie and Jordan spent an extra night up at the house. We went to dinner at the yummiest pizza place. The rest of these pictures are from the drive back to Connecticut.

 Dallas is so funny. He loves to have his head out the window all the time.

 This is the cutest little farm store. They had amazing flowers. And the most delicious fresh chocolate milk...YUM.

 poor guy got tuckered out. :)

My pounds of blueberry treasure. delicious.

This was my favorite weekend of the summer. My family took such good care of me. I love them all and had such a great time being with them.
