Maddie's Birthday Celebration Continued!

As is our custom, we had a birthday celebration in Wolfeboro. We were also celebrating Chris and Brittany's 3rd anniversary!  Like we did for Grace, we started our evening at the Wolfeboro House of Pizza, now called Wolf's, and run by a new owner. She is a wonderful Greek woman named Elainee. We just love her so much! We started our afternoon as a family in Wolfeboro before everyone met us. Madelyn wanted to spend some time walking around the shops in the area. We went to the "penny" candy store, where the "penny" candy was 2 for .25cents! Inflation you know! Then we went to the book store, and then also to the music store. Then we headed to the pizza place and got set up for our crowd of 18 that was going to be dining with us there! We enjoyed 7 pizzas, with some of the favorites being the Hawaiian, and the White pizza. We also enjoyed a lovely Greek salad to go with it!
Attending our pizza birthday bash were:
All of us Winslows (9) total
Jen and Pete (Mary's cousin Pete and his now fiancee' Jen!--Congrats you guys! We are sooo happy for you!), 
Aunt Pat
Uncle Mike and Gabe
Grampa Dave and Grammy Linda
Chris and Brittany and Marlie and "Anna Lee" (to be born in September!)
We had a wonderful time at the pizza place.
Then, we went outside to sit and open gifts and visit, and then on to the Bailey's Bubble for homemade icecream! It was an amazing evening and we were sooooo blessed by the fellowship and fun! Take a peek at the photos:

Our First Camping Trip of the year and the Swan/Smith Family reunion!

Last weekend we went up to Rumney Bible Conference for a wonderful all inclusive camping trip called Family Matters. It's a new program offered by Rumney to families. Come in on Friday night, and then leave on Sunday night. They do all of the cooking!! Yeah! They offer a pool and lots of fun family activities, too. It was wonderful! On Saturday we took a road trip to attend my Mom's family reunion in Acton, Maine! It truly was a blessed weekend!

We set up camp and then headed to Plain Jane's Diner for our dinner Friday night. The snacks and then future meals were all provided for us!

We enjoyed a science presentation on Friday evening! Rosie is the favorite to be passed around!

It was beach week at the snack shack and so at breakfast on Saturday, we enjoyed some beach type fun, including some photo shoots!
