Hamilton

For spring break we went to Hamilton to help clean out Grandma's house. It was lots of work, but well worth it to get one more chance for memories.
One of my favorite memories as a kid, is of playing in the hayloft with cousins. We found treasures, played house, even sleepovers up there.

Playing at Blodgett Creek. (yes this is the same child, the same week as the last picture with snow. I told him not to get his shoes or pants wet, this was his solution. Can't say he doesn't obey!)
Tether Ball!!!

Playing Post office was a favorite thing to do too.
Looking back maybe everything was my favorite.
Check out all the colors in the carpet. Grandma's house was always full of color.

Hey Toni, It was fun to see you guys in Hamilton. I can't believe those last pictures of the empty desk area and piano room. When I left I didn't think it would ever be empty! Glad the garage sale was a success. Thanks for all your hard work! I will miss that house and all those places too!

Thanks so much for sharing pics. Many have spoken of all the hard work you did there, and I imagine your kids were helpful too from what I remember of the last couple of times I have seen Kimberly. Anyway, the pics have me crying and sad to let the house go. I almost didn't recognize post office without anything on the corkboard :(. Loves.
