We got our camping shoes back on and managed to get to Branbury State Park on Lake Dunmore for a beginning of summer adventure. Thanks to Kevin Mahoney for pulling the trigger and getting a site for a few nights. I wasn't sure if I could pull it off with all the end of school stressors, but I'm so, so glad we did it!
The kids rock climbed, swam, and played with fire. The adults mountain biked, swam, drank good drinks and ate great food (thank you Mahoney's for dealing)
Claire and I even managed to convince John and Kevin that they could set up and enjoy the first night while we went to a Brandi Carlisle concert at Shelburne Museum.
Meanwhile, I got out for my first adult hike that I'd been in years!
While I was grading projects and getting through the end of school year "stuff", John got busy bulding us a mud room!
Hazen had his last day at Poker Hill School. It was incredibly bitter sweet. He's so, so ready to move on to kindergarten, but we are going to miss this place so much. It has been a fixture in our lives for four years!
Cally started a mountain bike program called Little Bellas. It was canceled the first two week because of rain/thunder. I drove her there with rain and 45 degree temps. I wasn't sure how well it would go. But this is the smile I arrived to at pick up! She LOVED it and her coach is going to Rio to compete in the olympics!
In other news, Cally bridged from a Daisy to a Brownie!
And John and I got out for a date night to see Ray LaMontange at Shelburne Museum. A perfect night and a perfect start to our summer.
