  • Travel & Vacation: Visiting Family in Vermont

    Family in Vermont

    Spending time with family in Vermont!

    We had the opportunity to visit family in Vermont this summer!  Jake’s Grandpa Wesley or “PopPop” as the girls call him turned 90 and we were able to celebrate his birthday while we were there.  It was nice seeing Jake’s Mom, grandparents, and his sister’s family while we were in Vermont.

    Brina loved Grandma Kay’s chickens!  She thinks we should get some too now, ha!  Midge was very accommodating and allowed the kids to carry her around.

    July 4th was a little bit of a raining day, but we still had a lot of fun and managed to squeeze in some time playing down at the river.

    These chickens let the girls hold them, which made it even more enjoyable of the kids!

    We tried the Vermont Maple Soda for the first time this summer!  The four of us split a bottle.  It was cold and good.  A little sweeter than I expected, but delicious!
