These two are off to the races! They are fired up and ready to learn.
Here they come Ms. Paul and Mr. Barker. Here I come 9th and 10th graders. We are so ready for all the adventures, fun, and challenges that this year will bring.
Right before school started, we got a surprise visit from the Meyer family. The kids were so excited to see Kesley (a new Freshman) and Jameson (5th grader).
We were all set to head to Maine for a weekend of canoe camping as a family. We reserved a spot at Mooselookmeguntic, but realized the day before we left that we had tickets to see the Avett Brothers on Sunday night at Shelburne Museum and the forecast was a 100% chance of rain on Sunday. So, at the last minute, we changed plans and went to one of the remote canoe camping sites on Waterbury Reservoir (a short 45 minute drove from home as opposed to a 4 hour drive). We paddled in from Cotton brook in Moscow (near Stowe) and found the most amazing camping spot. We were later told it was the best one there.
It was a gorgeous day! The weather warm and the reservoir was the perfect temperature.
We awoke to rain in the morning, but were able to see a bald eagle and a heron on our canoe ride out. We got warm and toasted and then prepared ourselves for a soaking experience at the kids first concert. John made sure we were ready for the elements and dressed appropriately.
It was a great concert even if it was soggy!
As a parting shot...... Lobby our unsung hero who keeps our house clear of mice.
