Family Time

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRANDPA ZEKE TODAY!!  We love you!

Since we had so much fun in the rain at camp during the 4th of July week, we decided to do it all over again, with 4 extra people!  

The whole family crew

We have been enjoying our time with the Colorado Z family while they are in VT for the first time in almost 2 years.  The cousins have all had a blast, as have the adults!  We have had family dinners, fly-fishing time, we all went to see Matt's band, and then we spent a few days at camp braving the rain.  We had a little bit of lake time before the rain set in, and then we hunkered in and enjoyed lots of card games and good food.  It's getting hard to stay positive about the dreary weather we have been having, because summer is so short in Vermont already!  



Just a bunch of dudes

No fish, but the scenery was beautiful!

Aunt Katie finally caught a fish on her fly rod!  Woohoo!


Grandma and Grandpa with all their grandkids - this doesn't happen very often!  What a gift to be all together.

Happy Birthday to Carly!

Frankie and Ellie got into such a cute snuggle one evening

Adults got to have a night away at Dexter Mtn Cabin!  Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for staying with all the kids!

This sums up the weather of the weekend

We normally only see each other on Zoom for Sunday Bingo!

Grandpa couldn't take it anymore!

It may have been the 2nd maple creemee of the day for some of these boys!


When we haven't been with family, we have been up to the normal summer stuff - time with friends, swimming, and a few camps.  The summer is flying by quickly!

With all the rain, there have been some beautiful skies, too

Evie, Noah and our goddaughter Caroline. So happy to see her!

Evie loved her week at Artist's Books Camp.  She made these awesome book earrings!

Evie had a lot of fun at her friend Carlee's birthday party.  They got all dressed up and had a limo ride around town!

Noah was inspired to make breakfast for me, since Evie was at cooking camp for the week

He's always working on some kind of project!
