Green Mountain Memories

It's hard nearly impossible to believe that Labor Day is around the corner. This Summer has gone by in a flash. The fact that we've been on the road for more of August than we've been home certainly hasn't slowed things down.

Our first trip out of the Nation's Capitol was to Vermont. The Green Mountain state. Noah's homeland. On the occasion of his 20th high school reunion (yes, he's THAT old!).

The reunion was actually loads of fun. And great stories. And trips down memory lane. We also got some nice QT with his family. And our Vermont friends. Friends with (THANK. GOD.) kids who are Lily's age. Friends we'd like to see much more of!

Miss FULL 'o Personality!

AKA Miss Curly Head

Yes her lips are blue. Or maybe purple. My VA-bred children were not accustomed to VT lake temperatures!

The oldest kid in the gang. Sam. Mister I'm Too Cool For These Little Kids!

Second Oldest. By 3 months. Miss Megan. BEST toy-sharer I've ever met!

Twin #1. Darling Charlotte. The twins have 2 months on Lily, exactly.

Twin #2. Muscle Man Max. Watch out for this little dude!!

The fabulous (albeit CHILLY) Lake Dunmore.

Chillin' (literally and figuratively) on the Vermont "beach" @ Lake Dunmore.

We also happened to be there during the Addison County Fair & Field Days --

The tiniest miniature horses I've ever seen...

...straight out of central casting (notice the name tags)!

Only. In. Vermont...

If Middlebury, VT happens to be on anyone's upcoming vacation itinerary, let me PUH-LEEZE recommend the uber-fabulous Waterfalls Day Spa. Awesome place. Even more awesome owner! Hey, no one can ever accuse me of not knowing people in high places!
