Stanley's New Hampshire Adventures

Stacy took Christian's Stanley on a weekend trip. It looks like they had a terrific time.


Sam & Max wanted to bring Stanley to their School in Derry, New Hampshire.  
This was our first stop in our New Hampshire Adventure.

 
Stanley in front of a replica of the Old Man on the Mountain.  The Old Man of the Mountain 
was a series of granite cliff ledges on Cannon Mountain that looked like the profile of a man.  
The Old Man was used on the quarter and on stamps.  In 2003 the face fell off!  

 
Here is Stanley in front of the New Hampshire State House in Concord, NH.  This is 
the nation's oldest state house in which the legislature still occupies its original chambers.  It was
 built entirely of granite from New Hampshire in 1819.  New Hampshire is also called the granite state.

 Stanley is standing on top of a replica of the Liberty Bell with Max & Sam. 
Look how they painted the crack!

Stanley saw this dog carrying his owner's newspaper and had to have a pic with him!

 
Here is Stanley on the statue of Daniel Webster.  Daniel Webster was a senator during 
the period leading up to the Civil War.  He was born in New Hampshire.

 Look SNOW!  Stanley wanted to play king of the mountain.

OOPS!  Snow is slippery!

We took Stanley to see a covered bridge.  In the 19th century builders discovered 
that if you put a roof on a bridge to protect it from snow it lasts a lot longer.

 
This bridge was a replica of an old covered bridge. Look at Stanley hanging out 
of the window!  Watch out!

Stanley enjoyed the view from the bridge.

  We took Stanley to see the mountains.  Way off in the distance are the White Mountains.

 
Here is Stanley in front of Gunstock Ski Resort.  We couldn't find skiis small enough so
 we couldn't take Stanley skiing. 

 
Stanley got to meet a couple of skiers at the resort!

 Max & Sam took Stanley to the top of a hill to see Lake Winnipesaukee.  
It's the largest lake in NH and has 253 islands.

 went back over the border to Massachusetts to have fun on Salisbury Beach.  

 Stanley wanted to be buried in the sand!

 Oh Noooo!  Who spilled the popcorn??  Watch out Stanley!

 
Here is Stanley in front of Haverhill, Massachusetts.  This is where Stacy lives. 
 It's was once known as the shoe capital of the world.


What a fabulous weekend Stanley had with his new friends. He has had many fun adventures!
