So, I'm officially Jenn Bevans! YAY! =)
For everyone who was at our wedding on July 7th, I hope you thought it was truly amazing and as perfect as Trevor and I did! We loved absolutely everything about the entire day and have already discussed if we could do it all over again, we would do it exactly the same way! Thank you for everyone who was able to share our day with us!
Obviously, I have been a little busy which is why this is a combined June and July update! June flew by with wedding preparations, school ending and various celebrations. One big celebration was Sophie's 3rd birthday on June 15th. We celebrated with friends and family around the pool. She is talking up a storm and getting braver swimming on the steps.
Corinne's birthday was a while ago, but she was able to celebrate again when her and Grammy Robin went to see Mama Mia in Boston. They had a fabulous time, despite the confusion of the city! =) It was her first time riding the T and seeing a musical. They came back in one piece and had a lot of great stories to tell!
I had the opportunity to teach a class to teacher's in my district on how to use an Interactive White Board at the end of June. I had a great time and realized teaching adults is a little different than teaching 10 year olds!
Gay arrived at the end of June and stayed with us for three weeks to help with the wedding and the girls. I can't thank her enough for everything she did and how easy she made things for Trevor and I.
July was kick started with our wedding and honeymoon to Franconia Notch, NH. Trevor and I both exclaimed how wonderful it was to read for hours without feeling guilty about not doing housework, attending to the girls or doing something work related. We had a great time hiking, biking, camping, and relaxing. A black bear visited our campsite and drooled all over our s'more packages, but thankfully we were able to scare him away without losing anything. We wish we had thought to get the camera out for proof! We had fun swimming in the waterfalls on the Kancamagus Highway and also enjoyed North Conway.
We're settling back into our "normal" summer routine, which consists of remembering which fun activity we're doing next! Trevor and I took Corinne and Ayla to Water Country last week and had a BLAST!! We ran from water slide to water slide for 8 hours! We loved the black tube rides and the family raft ones that we could all ride on together.
We had a great visit with Grampy and Grammy Benn last week. We are loving being able to have friends and family over to swim! The pool is proving to be a great source of entertainment and fun! The girls also got new bikes from Grandpa Dave and are looking forward to learning how to ride them. Trevor and I would love to take them to Bar Harbor and ride the carriage trails.
Corinne is excited for basketball camp soon and Ayla is looking forward to art camp. We're also really excited to visit with Grandma Connie in a couple of weeks. Sophie has been asking me daily if Grandma is on the plane yet. =)
My brother, sister-in-law, Trevor and I raced in the Tough Mountain Challenge at Sunday River last weekend. The race is a 5k up and down a mountain and consists of 16 obstacles! We had a blast getting muddy, wet, bruised, cut and exhausted. Unfortunately, on our way out, Trevor turned his ankle wrong going down the stairs too fast in flip flops. He is recovering from an avulsion fraction and badly sprained ankle. I was going to lie and say it was during the race, but figured the truth would get out eventually. =)
I'm sure I'm forgetting something fun that we did in the past two months, but it's been a whirlwind! Check out the hundreds of pictures we've put on FB!
