Vermont Part II and Hudson's Birthday

On Tuesday the 2nd there was a break in the rain so we scooted up the mountain for a hike up to "Sunset Cliffs"



Signing in at the trail head for Sunset Cliffs


Sophia making her way up the trail!


This was the view from the first "look-out"

Kaia slept through her first hike :)

Up in the clouds on Sunset Cliffs!






On the way home we saw a MOOSE!



Later on we enjoyed some lazy time by the river, and were joined by my best friends, Alice and Ruth, and their kids


Sophia and Joseph were totally holding hands!! We have the right genders going in our offspring so we can eventually marry our kids off and finally be legit sisters! Haha









Alice's son, Ethan, who is approaching 2!






For supper we headed to Cubber's in Bristol. Check out the buildings in the background of the above picture... SO "Vermonty!" ;D

Our usual tradition of gorging on yummy, naughty food at Cubber's! Ruth's dad, Bob, was able to join us.

Sophia with Ruth's son, Joseph, who is 6!

We capped things off with amazing artisan ice cream at Lulu's



My brother Sky

One last gathering in Bristol for the fireworks on July 3!





Alice's hubby, Rick, and Ethan


Joseph and Sophia taking in the fireworks. We were lucky to find a good parking spot for watching the show, so we could dodge the rain and mosquitoes as needed!




At the airport the next morning. This photo looks deceptively cheerful :(


One last rocket ride with Pop pop! Both of my girls love "rocket rides" as much as my brothers and I did!

This was a band that was walking around playing music in the Philly airport, which was a wonderful diversion and Sophia was way into it!


Back in the Midwest! We went to Grand Forks on Sunday the 7th for Hudson's 1st birthday

Oldest cousin Jaylin with Kaia and 2 year old Ava (Jaylin's baby sister)

The girl cousins! (Except for that one blonde on the right side... I have no idea who that is! It was a pretty big party!)




The birthday boy!



Grandpa love :)

Kaia and Hudson are almost exactly 3 months apart! They are busy babies!
