Vacation!

Last Thursday we left early and drove to Vermont, to a campground in East Burke.  We stayed for three nights, sleeping in a tent and cooking everything on a grill. Had plenty of time in a brook and with Emma practicing on her bike. She's getting good on that thing!! 

(not?) surprisingly, I don't have many pictures from the trip. We were busy and disconnected. The break from my screen was really nice. The disconnection from outside and plugging in to our family was what mattered. Hopefully without a million pictures stores on my phone I can still remember all the fun we had squishing in the mud at the brook, sitting down for a nice tea at the cafe, snuggling in our tent, and playing around our camp site. Anyway, we already plan to go back next year!

After this we headed down to NH to see Mimi and Poppop, cousin Denis, and Francis. Such a nice visit; playing in the yard, a morning lakeside, local ice cream and much more fun together. Emma's a lucky girl to have so much love surrounding her.

We returned yesterday, I worked today but Patrick doesn't return until Monday so you could say that the vacation isn't over yet! (That's what we're saying;-))
