Thanksgiving in Vermont


We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Vermont to visit Grammy, Grampy, Uncle Paul, and other relatives for Thanksgiving. Jack, Charlotte, and I flew up last Saturday (the kids behaved pretty well for me), and Andy joined us on Tuesday. The weather did a great job of cooperating--clear skies and warm on all days that we traveled, but plenty of snow for playing the day before Thanksgiving. The kids, especially Jack, had so much fun in the snow. Here's Jack with Uncle Paul and Andy:

Jack went on the sled with Andy and me a few times, but I was impressed that he slid a lot by himself. We used a couple of hills; one was short and steeper, and the other was longer with less of an incline.







Charlotte got in on the sledding action too.


So cute!



Little Stay-Puft.









Good action shot of Andy (what you don't see is the ensuing wipeout).



The snow wasn't sticking at first, so we had a difficult time getting the snowman started, but we eventually made one that was about Jack's size.





Frosty bit the dust the next day as the temperature warmed up.


Some video of Jack going down the longer hill, and of Charlotte being pulled around. She kept making these cute squealy noises.





We had such a great week and are missing everybody already! I have many more pictures to post.

What a great week. The house seems so quiet now! It had been a long time since I had made a snowman. Good thing I had a lot of help.
