...the biggest blog of the summer so far covering a busy weekend and the end of the Boissoneault's trip to lots of states. First the Boissoneaults, and I'll let Liz tell the story in her inimitable style,
So we came back from Maryland on the 16th and made a side trip through New York City. We even saw WWE (wrestling) headquarters in Connecticut. My family lives in Rhode Island so we stopped there for dinner. Arriving home by 10:30 that night. Man were we beat!
I've included pictures from Aine and Ryan's Sling Shot ride. Kevin was finally able to download them off his phone.
and here are the accompanying pix,




Liz's aunt with the crew

Liz with her cousin Lisa


I bet our insurance company would love these pix

The victims after their slingshot ride.
Saturday started up early for Phyllis and I, we went to the Sanford's, Scott's host family. A little break from tradition, a breakfast pic instead of dessert,

the maple syrup comes from a tree in their garden, and Scott picked the raspberries fresh this morning.
We visited the garden and saw the chickens

Scott with chicken (Scott is on the left)
The the Harry Potter books arrived so Rob and Scott made a dash for the mailbox,

...but being the sweet family that they are they had ordered 2 copies so Scott got his own,

so everyone was happy, the Sanford's son Morgan joined for a photo,

under the maple tree where the syrup pictured earlier came from (gee isn't it amazing how seamlessly this blog fits together!!)
After the Sabford's we headed off to the Cressey's, where Zoe is staying, to celebrate her 16th Birthday.

Isn't she such a sweet 16.
At the sound of cake everyone dashed to the table,

She huffed and puffed,

and blew the candles out on her THREE cakes (3 cakes!!!!)
The to stop anyone else getting one she took a big bite out of them,

though Brett tried to get a bite too,

messy cheek, but Brett licked it off after...honest he really did but I didn't get the camera out in time.
However they all then went mad throwing poor Zoe in the pool,

what a wet birthday.
Then they became madder and manhandled me,

this shouldn't happen to a youth worker,

in I go.

Hey it's not bad in here,

Why didn't I bring a change of clothes?
Anf finally a very pretty(and wet) birthday girl with her host sister Sara,

Sunday was car wash day, we all headed down to VIP in Saco and well basically washed cars, though some people had it easy trying to attract customers,


Sara's mini got special attention (I'm going to steal it but don't tell anyone)


Natasha's cousin, and aunt, joined us

and finally (we earned almost $300)......

what a Hummer...I meant the car not Lauren!!!! honestly
