Vermont trip

Jack and I returned from Vermont yesterday. We had a wonderful trip! We got to visit with extended family, watch Uncle Paul run in his first marathon, visit a farm, and of course had plenty of quality play time with Grammy and Grampy. It'll probably take me several posts to go through all the pictures.

These first few were from Saturday morning, when Jack was having fun with Grampy. What started off as a simple game of putting a paper ball into the little garbage truck quickly escalated into throwing the ball--mostly at Grampy. Jack's hair is evidence of the momentum he worked up when hurling the ball.





Later that day, a large chunk of the Jarvis clan came over for a cookout. We were able to see Great-Grampy and Aunt Maria, Aunt Kathy, Aunt Marty and Uncle Cary, cousins Nicole, Allison, Emma, Rachel; and Rachel's 3 sons: Jack, Cooper, and Sam. Before lunch, we enjoyed some time outside. Here's Jack giving me a flower.


Grampy took us for a ride with the tractor. Jack was pretty nervous about the whole experience, as you can tell by his expression. It helped to have his cousins come along, and he was able to relax slightly by the end of the ride.

Toward the end--the worried expression is still there, but at least he calmed down enough to sit instead of stand.
