The trip was rather quiet and uneventful. I looked for items to eat that may be easy on my tummy, and thought about ginger ale and corn muffins.<br />
I did consider cheese balls, but for some reason the shelf was empty.<br />
I mean, who eats giant tubs of cheese balls?! lol <br />

Guess I will settle for a meme of cheese balls:<br />

Many of us who have long enjoyed the beauty and peacefulness of the park were upset, but soon realized there were some advantages to the clearings.<br />
I found that the top of the park hill now has better views of a local mountain range. When I drive there at sunset, the view and colors are awesome! Here are a few photos I took, some were taken right after a storm and others on a classic summer evening <br />

<br />
<br />
Our local community members hosted their annual family friendly cardboard sled race.<br />
Since we had enough snow this year,and then some, it was held without needing to make fake snow.<br />
The temps were unusually high for February in New England, but we cherish it while it lasts, which is about a day or two before plummeting to freezing!<br />
My sons group all dressed as soldiers of God's army,and each had a helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, belt of truth, sword of the Spirit and a shield of faith. The shield was also their sled, clever ideas.<br />

Here are a few entries, starting with the one I favored to win due to the design of the runners. The rules state the sled can only be made with cardboard, duct tape and wax, they can also paint it as they like.<br />
I am not sure about the rule regarding crossing the finish line because many entrants got offf their sled and either pushed or pulled it across the finish line. At one point, both racers got off their sleds and it was a contest of who could run the fastest across the line. Not quite a sled race.<br />
Here are a few of the sleds:<br />

Since I pulled a back muscle while shoveling yesterday, I was exempt from having to shovel today.<br />
Instead, I had a slow day before spending time with my grand baby, who has just started standing by herself for a few moments; not walking, just standing up by herself.<br />
We played with blocks, books, watched baby shows and snuggled.<br />

After putting on a sweatshirt,Burton socks,snow pants,jacket,Sorel boots,head/face mask and warm mittens, I was already too warm to be in the house and looked forward to cooling off outside. <br />
We first shoveled the walk way because we are expecting about six to ten more inches of snow tonight and it will be easier to clear later if we do a bit now.<br />

We then walked over to the neighboring church yard and played on their huge mountain plowed in the corner. He wanted to make a tunnel,but I just wanted to slide down the side a few times.<br />

We went back to our yard and he got his new sled to attempt to slide down the small hill we have. It was not very successful, but we had fun trying.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM7d4H3ncmElLWPzBD62GBgK14vScgBi9u5vXTT8Mu40UafIad3IbuTXcKaM-DuR9gWEA1qoiRIgYlxMOAaL3duGVsq7pABk5gUT8Q00ihAOes_wiSh4rUiO4yAmbHij43yh_7Zu3YD1o/s1600/sled.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM7d4H3ncmElLWPzBD62GBgK14vScgBi9u5vXTT8Mu40UafIad3IbuTXcKaM-DuR9gWEA1qoiRIgYlxMOAaL3duGVsq7pABk5gUT8Q00ihAOes_wiSh4rUiO4yAmbHij43yh_7Zu3YD1o/s320/sled.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
Perhaps he should bring the sled to to the church hill and see how much faster it will be.<br />
After another snow angel,since the previous were sledded over, I was ready to go in for some hot cocoa.<br />

It was a really fun day and I look forward to doing it again this week!<br />
Did you get snow where you are?<br />
Tell me about your winter so far in the comment section below.<br />
Love and blessings,<br />

Well, maybe not massive amounts, but enough to make me whine about it.<br />
Being from New England, we are accustomed to cold, snowy winters, but when school is cancelled at least once a week for a month it is s bit much! We beat record snowfalls a few years ago,got more than 100 inches, ran out of places to put the stuff.I think we were still shoveling til the end of April, had to move snow to look for Easter eggs.<br />

We recently vacationed at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge, which was pretty nice. We went to the Magic Kingdom the first day. I was really looking forward to seeing the newest additions,but we ended up going to indoor shows and rushing to make the fast pass times and ran out of time that day. Dinner was at the Crystal palace at 4:00 so it cut into the park time a lot.<br />
We got to visit with Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. So much fun!<br />

The second day, we went to the Animal Kingdom. It was a lot of fun, especially the Dinosaur ride! We went on the animal safari and a few other things but I ended up getting really sick (possibly from the food) and we went back to the hotel. I felt better after a few hours, but it was not magical :/<br />

The third day, we went to Hollywood studios. It was a rainy day so the theaters were a bit packed. When the rain let up the air felt very warm and sticky. The favorite thing we did here was the Indiana Jones stunt show. We ate lunch at a 50's restaurant and had a really good day altogether!<br />
Sean and I later went out for Disney's extended hours, and went to the Magic Kingdom. There were hardly any lines at all and the air was much cooler. We saw the electric parade twice that time and were able to watch the entire parade without being rushed.<br />

Our last day was spent at EPCOT. It was a very hot day and we walked around a Lot! The area was full of lovely Spring flowers, along with it being the annual flower show there the entire park looked beautifully arranged. We saw several shows, including one about Nemo. It was done using large puppets, but it was done so well it was an emotional show for every one there.<br />
We ate dinner at the rotating garden restaurant. It was unique and a great dinner. Sean and his dad ended up being glad they didn't go back to the hotel as they whined about most of the day ;)<br />
We went back to Sean's favorite part of Disney, the hotel pool! We let
him stay in a little longer before heading to the room and packing up to
go home the next day. <br />

One of my favorite places is Moody Park, a serene place where people love to take leisurely walks, use the bike trails and to walk their dogs. <br />
I have been taking an online photography course and am learning how to use manual mode almost exclusively. It is frustrating at times, but the pics are getting better as I use it more.<br />
Here are a few I recently took at and near the park in the past few weeks. i hope you enjoy looking at them, and your comments are always welcome :)<br />

I have been looking forward to sunny, warm days for about one hundred days! Now that April is here and the snow is slowly melting, I have been out taking photos of the neighborhood as an excuse to get fresh air. I have signed up for a few facebook photo groups and often post pics there, but mostly just want to get out and try to improve my shooting skilz ;)<br />
here are a few pics i took these past few weeks.<br />
<br />
We tapped about 20 maple trees for sugaring. Most of them are on the Walkers' property in Cornish.<br />
We made between 4-5 gallons of syrup, which took about 160-200 gallons of raw sap to make.<br />

It was quite a task, but we really enjoy fresh syrup so it was worth the work.<br />
<br />
Other signs of spring are the dirty snow piles and mud puddles all around, as well as the flocks of birds looking for roosting places. The squirrels and chipmunks are still visiting the bird feeders but I haven't seen them try climbing the pole since we put petroleum jelly on it.<br />

My husband took our son ice fishing for the first time. They went to Deering Reservoir in NH with some friends. My son was quite excited to have caught two bass! Their friends caught five, but my son felt sorry for the fish fighting to breathe out on the ice so he threw one back in the hole :/ oops!<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to seeing new flowers bloom and for trees to grow new leaves. the air will soon be filled with the scent of fresh growth and sounds of birds being twitterpated once again :)<br />
Here are a few more photos I have taken so far this season, and hope to add more as I get out to enjoy life more. I think the depression I have been feeling is finally lifting and I can breathe a bit easier.<br />

<br />
This has been another frigid, freezing winter, just like last year!<br />
With the polar vortex shooting frigid air and dumping massive amounts
of snow our way. Well, maybe not massive amounts, but enough to make me
whine about it.<br />
Temps have been below 20 degrees F. for several months, more days have
been hovering closer to zero and below than not.<br />
Snow storms have blown through, causing school to be closed and slippery roads to avoid driving on.<br />
Most
of my pics have been taken either through my porch window or van on my
way home from work, as I refuse to drive in this muck!<br />
I know. I
live in New England and am used to having snow every year. Let's just
say I am older now and do not appreciate the
cold any more than when i was younger.<br />
I did appreciate the cupcakes, card and lovely flowers my hubby gave me for my birthday, as well as Valentine's day <3 <br />

So far, the
highlights of Winter have been , my son's team won the grade 3-4
basketball championship . They won every game except one, and they won against that team to win the final championship game!<br />

Watching all the birds gather
around the feeders has also been a favorite past time. We have juncos,cardinals, sparrows, blue jays,
yellow finches, and mourning doves. Their preference is mostly sunflower
seeds, but we mix them with other seeds as well. <br />

So, while the chilly air is keeping us housebound, and I am starting to get cabin fever, there are some things keeping me sane. February vacation starts today and I have a few things planned, including a trip from my daughter flying in from SC tonight! YAY!! I will probably post about that next week, when I am lamenting how quickly winter break passes ;)<br />
This pic was taken when my daughter was about 3. e were sledding in the County in Maine. <br />

This was when I didn't mind the cold so much, but ended up frostbitten a few times.We don't have the sleds any more, but may go snow tubing at the Arrowhead. <a href="http://www.arrowheadnh.com/" target="_blank">http://www.arrowheadnh.com/</a>It is a small operation, but perfect for us.<br />
Have a lovely day. Stay warm.<br />

I occasionally feel brave enough to try to take pics. Shooting the moon is a challenge for a few reasons;It is a subject with changing lighting, it moves so I have to keep moving, and there are so many pics of the moon already, I know it can be a tedious subject for some.<br />
I recently took a few pics and wanted to share them here. There was still day light, so I decreased the exposure a little.<br />
Hope you like them :)<br />

We had about a two hour drive on mostly familiar roads, but GPS decided we needed to add some side trips to add to the lovely scenery. My son took a few pics through his window, before and after lifting the window shade.<br />

Clark's is located near the <a href="http://www.kancamagushighway.com/" target="_blank">Kangamagus Highway</a>, which is a really nice scenic drive on most any day. We were not sure we were on the right road, especially with a GPS(generally provoking service) leading us on trecks around the county. Good thing I had two copilots who can read maps.<br />
Once we got to the correct address,we took my Mom's wheelchair out and our bags of stuff for the day. I was glad Clark's allowed us to take in our backpacks,Mom has diabetes and needed special snacks and drinks.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
On our way in, we saw the bears in their outdoor arena. It was a nice welcome to the park.<br />
The cost was reasonable, $20 each for my son and I, and $13 for my mom.<br />
The staff were very kind and helpful and offered a paper with info on handicapped accessibility.<br />
It was a helpful page because it showed us what she could and could not have access to.<br />
We left the ticket counter and went straight out, where the train tracks are. If you have ever had to push a wheel chair over tracks, you know this was a big challenge. The front wheels got stuck and I had to try several times to get it over. We later(much later) learned that there is a ramp down the right side of the train terminal, but there was no sign indicating that info.<br />
Our first stop was to watch the Chinese acrobats. The show was fun to watch. They are a very talented group of acrobatic performers. We did not see the sign for wheel chair accessibility til later in the day.<br />

We then visited the antique fire station , where we saw old fire trucks, ladder and hose trucks. It was interesting to think how difficult it must have been to put out fires long ago. I thought of my son in law,who is a fire fighter, and am thankful how much they are protected compared to old uniform standards.<br />

Our next stop was the Old Man climbing tower. We pushed the chair over the brick lined streets,not too difficult. My son wanted to climb the rock wall, and was surprised and embarrassed that I wanted to climb,too. He got geared up first and watched me put mine on. He asked if I was going to go up the easy, medium or hard wall, and I said I would go on the medium side. He chose the easy climb because he is still trying to conquer his fear of heights. We wished each other luck and got ready. I looked up and convinced myself that I could make it. I had only gone on a climbing wall once,about thirteen years ago, but was sure I was still limber enough to do it at forty eight years old. I slowly ascended, one foot hold and one hand hold at a time. There was only one time I had difficulty finding a hold, but reset my grip and continued on. I made the mistake of looking down and nearly chickened out, but set my sight on the top and continued up. I finally saw the red button at the top and that gave me a burst of strength. I reached over and pressed the buzzer, indicating I made it to the top.<br />

I proved to myself that I could do it. Then I slowly crawled down a few feet to clear the sheer cliff, before letting go and gliding back to the ground. My arms were shaking and sore, but I did it! The girl asked me if I wanted to go again, and I said no. I just wanted to prove I could do it and once was enough. My son also made it to the top and was feeling triumphant!<br />

We had lunch at Pullman's lunch. The side walk was narrow and slanted, with no ramps leading to the restaurant. The servers were friendly and helpful.They offer sandwiches and pizza. The food was good and not outrageously priced, but the building is not wheelchair friendly, and the dining area was difficult to get to as it was across the brick road and up a ramp, which is difficult to navigate while holding lunch tray. <br />
Our next stop was going to be the train ride, but just missed it, so we went to see if the bear act was going on. It was the circus acrobats again, but they had a different routine and it was even more fun to watch than the precious because it included spinning fire on a baton, and balancing tables on feet.<br />
We decided to go have some ice cream. The Peppermint Saloon offered a variety of ice cream treats, so we chose to go there. The front door is not accessible due to a large stepping stone in front. So, we went along the side door, which had a ramp, but there is a gap between the door and ramp, in which the chair got stuck. A staff member and a guest helped me maneuver the chair into the building, but we soon learned the door was not the only thing impeding access. The tables were small and closely arranged, making it nearly impossible to get her chair to a table. The shop was busy, so we had to choose a table across the room. Getting the chair to the counter was not possible, as there was no path around the room to use. She sat near the table while I got her ice cream. She wanted to put on her own toppings, but getting her chair to the sundae bar was very difficult. She was able to reach the toppings, which was good. When we got through, there was a table closer to the door, so we sat there instead. The sundaes were very yummy and we were full when finished eating them.<br />
We understand the saloon is an old building and they are working on improving access, but it dampened our time of having the treat.<br />
The next stop this time was the train. They offer a wheelchair lift,
which went very smoothly.<br />
The staff were friendly and helpful and the
lift worked very well, with ample room for the chair to move.<br />

The
train ride was fun with the story of the Wolfman trying to protect his
claim. The wolfman came alongside the train and acted upset that we were
trespassing on his land. It was also a nice and scenic ride with pretty
landscaping.<br />

After the train, my son wanted to try the climbing wall again. He
wanted to show himself he could do it without being afraid. I chose to
stay with Mom this time. There are shady spots along the walkways, where
we parked, but not many benches for me to sit with her.<br />
He tried going up the medium side, but it was too challenging, so he went back up the easy side, and rang the bell with pride!<br />

Merlin's Mystical Mansion was a trip. My mom had to wait for us due to no access for her chair. They post signs to warn visitors about having motion sickness,claustrophobia or are afraid of the dark. I pushed those thoughts aside because it was just a short indoor ride, and what could possibly happen. It turns out the ride made you believe you are spinning head first around the room. The walls around us turned and the lights were blinking, with weird music blaring around us. I suddenly felt queasy and had to cover my eyes. I tried looking at the walls again, but my mind kept getting confused and I felt motion sickness coming on. My son was fine and tried getting me to uncover my eyes, but I had to keep them closed. I was so relieved when it was over and I could get outside in fresh air and solid ground. <br />
The last place we went was the Tuttle House. It was fun walking along slanted floors and watching as the guide showed different places around the house that were fun to watch. A pool table where the balls go uphill and gravity defying bottles that also roll uphill. This was also a non accessible place for Mom. My son said it would be fun to bring her chair in and see what happened on the slanted floors. He has a warped sense of humor.<br />
On the way out, we passed the water bumper boats. It looked like fun, but a certain boy had too many sassy remarks to be able to go on it, so he was only allowed to use the squirters on the outer edge of the ride. He had fun blasting people with the water cannons.<br />

We all had a great visit, and the weather was perfect. We hope there will be more wheelchair accessibility so people are able to enjoy all of the park with their families.<br />
I never had to consider it before but will be more aware of this issue from now on.<br />
Have you ever been to the White Mountains of New Hampshire? have you had issues with handicap accessibility? Feel free to comment below.<br />

This is one of my favorite places along the Connecticut River to photograph at sunset.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many people have found it an enjoyable place to fish, kayak and canoe, I mainly photograph the landscape, but have fished here with my son a few times. It is a nice, calm and accessible area to spend time at.</div>
