Douglas and Veronicaflew up with Emilia for a long weekend. It was our first exposure to Emilia walking - and boy, can she walk! We had a great time attending a Gypsy Reel concert at Jackson-Gore, introducing Emilia to the Almonds and Kneebones, swimming and picnicking at Plymouth State Park, and a lunch at Long Trail Brewery - among other activities.
Emilia had a chance to try out a "new" old chair Janet had gotten for her. She also had time to play with our pre-Devi "dog", Kibby.
Veronica cooked us a fantastic dinner and Douglas, with Jeffrey's help, started to powerwash some of the siding of the house.
We even had time to discuss what our holiday activities will be in November and December. Still not definitely decided but we've at least started planning.
Some more photos of the great weekend are available by clicking here.
The Pace's and the Kuntz's decided to spend some time at Jay Peak on June 30-July 1 to enjoy the Fourth of July concert by the VSO. Kevin was kind enough to drive us up to the Stowe area where we stopped to checkout the von Trapp Inn (huge place) and then have a great lunch beneath the Stowe trails.
While we had no problems with our room in the new Jay Hotel, Patsy and Kevin did and were forced to move to a new room in a separate hotel, closer to the area where the VSO concert audience would be.
It was a very good thing that happened.
At intermission, after some great numbers by the VSO, the heavans decided to open up. We simply left all our "Tanglewood-type" picnic stuff outside and ran for the Kuntz's room which overlooked the concert area. We spent the rest of the concert on the Kuntz's balcony.
All in all, it was a fun time, great company, good music, and a lovely trip. We only took a few photos which can be seen by clicking here.
