Travel & Vacation: Visiting 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.
We made a lean to fort now they are weaving some items. Always something with this crew.

Running around by the river!
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!
Playing the Jelly Belly Bean Boozled Game! Wonder if Noelle got a good flavor…..nope!
Irish enjoying her ham bone!
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!

Bouquet of Fresh Flowers
Bouquet of flowers from my girls
My girls know how to warm my heart. Last week we spent some time with extended family in Vermont. Jake’s grandpa has a green thumb and when we first moved into our house he brought down some of his iris bulbs from his garden. Every year the girls pick some of PopPop’s flowers and bring them inside to make a fresh bouquet for a counter top. Here is a picture of one of the bouquets they brought to me a few months ago. Thankful for my girls and their little tokens of their appreciation that brightened my day. Grateful for Grandpa for sharing his beautiful flowers so we can enjoy them every year.
