During the first week of August the we took a trip to Stowe Vermont along with some friends. Unfortunatley it rained for most of the week. So, we made the best of it and the kids spent most of the week in the heated pool (between thunder showers)trying to stay warm. On the way up we stopped at The Quechee Gorge and let te kids play on the rocks and in the water. Here is one of the photo’s:

Natalie and Billy went to a Camp Foskett, a local YMCA summer camp this year. This is the same camp Mom used to go to when she was their age. (This makes the camp extra special!) Each week the counselors select a Camper of the week. This week Natalie was selected as the recipient from the Semonile tribe. Ahhh… the pride mom and dad have. Below is a copy of her certificate.

Natalie and Billy go hunting for a letterbox. A letterbox is basically a box that has been hidden in the woods. You are provided with clues that you use to find the hidden box. For more info on letterboxing goto www.letterboxing.org

This letterbox ended up being in an old house foundation about a mile into the woods. This one was titled They’re Here, They Are, They Are, They Are

Natalie wearing her dress up glasses.  Spooky how much she looks like mom did when she was a kid in her real glasses.

Now that Natalie’s hair is getting long, Mom thinks it is fun to experiment. Natlie isn’t sure if she likes it or not. What do you think???
