Champlain Valley Fair 2007

This past weekend we went to the land of tractors, ponies, sno kones, and mother large cows. We had a great time at the fair this weekend. The best part every year is seeing the kids faces as we pull into the parking lot and seeing their mouths drop as they see the Ferris wheel, grand stand, and all the commotion. I love it.

The Floating Bridge

The girls; Jaye, myself, Betty Ann, and Sarah posing for a picture on the floating bridge on a very sunny Friday evening.

Last Friday we drove down to the floating bridge in Brookfield, VT. It was pretty neat, because as you drove onto the bridge you felt as though you were driving into the lake. Apparently the bridge is floating on a bunch of barrels...it was pretty neat, and apparently a great swimming spot.

Here is a picture of the Subaru making its way across the floating bridge. Sarah and Betty Ann took this picture and as I was taking a picture of their car going across, Jaye followed me to the middle of the bridge and slipped on the mossy stuff in the first rut. She hit her head pretty hard on the sidewalk. Oh the joy.

This is a picture of Jeff, Michael, and Jaye heading up Ricker Mountain. It was a lot of fun hiking with the kids, except for the fact that Jaye was starving 5 minutes into the hike and the hike lasted 3 hours. Oh well, next time we will bring a snack. :)
This was a historical hike with lots of cool things to see. Two hundred years ago there was a whole little community on this mountain and there were plaques describing the people who lived on the mountain and the homes they lived in. There were still stone foundations, tools, wells, cemetary's and other things left to see. It was a good time.

A Sunset to Behold...

I was thinking of my brother Jason all the while, as this sunset changed and transformed over Mt. Mansfield and Camels Hump it was beautiful.

Cows...

There is nothing like a field of cows with a rainbow over it to start off your Monday morning.

YOU are welcome!

What to say?

We are home from Burke and Michigan. We miss everyone we spent time with...we wish we weren't back to work. If only life was just one long vacation...hmmmmm.
