Matt and The Lost River Gorge

The very best thing about Boston was the friends we had there. One of those friends was Mr. Matthew Deane. Crazy thing is we only officially met in May when I got to see in real life my bosom friend, Liz, whom he is married to. It only took moments to realize that Aric and Matt were bosom friends too. Well the irony of it all was that Liz moved to Utah days after I arrived in Boston but Matt was left behind in New Hampshire for four months to finish up his job. So we tried to hang out with Matt when we could.

Camden stuck to Matt like bees on honey...they became instant friends.

One of the things he told us we had to do while he was there was go to the Lost River Gorge glacier in New Hampshire. It was quite the trek but TOTALLY worth it!

*WARNING: Tons of pictures*

So we started out with a yummy brunch at this AMAZING restaurant...

There was a Beatles train running above our heads...first sign that this place was going to be AWESOME!!!

MAPLE BUTTER...YUMMO and that's all I am going to say about it.

On the way we past a sign for this cool town...

Next stop...the Lost River Gorge.

It's so hard to explain this place. It is visually incredible and I can't even imagine how long it took to build it. You just walk along these walkways and bridges...

...then if you can brave the damp, dark, cold, small places you go through the caves.

Camden thought it was fun at first...

But soon realized he wasn't a fan...

He definitely preferred climbing on the rocks that were not in dark, damp, small places. I seriously think my little guy is claustrophobic.

Maya on the other hand was freaking me out on how comfortable she was climbing on stuff...

Some of the places we had to squeeze through were quite tight. You had to go through this "squeezer gauge" to make sure you wouldn't get stuck inside the cave.

I'm telling you some of these crevices were TIGHT.

Aric really got into this adventure, he made sure to show his excitement in every picture I took. Honestly does he not resemble Buster from Arrested Development??

Matt and Aric were being quite ridiculous the whole time. The 3+ hour ride there should have prepared me for the insanity that was in store with these two characters. It was like gas on fire or like Hall and Oats...

Matt was good for teaching the children some pretty cool tricks...

It was such a fun way to spend the day seeing something and doing something we will most likely never do again.

If you are every in that neck of the woods it is well worth your time...Thanks Matt for the fun times!!
