Burlington Fishing Derby

A couple weekends ago we took the kids to the fishing derby on the waterfront!! It was all free too, the best kind of fun!!

MMM I wonder how a worm will taste?

Even Luna was brave enough to hold the worms..

Luna and some fishing bobber thing..She actually ran after this guy yelling " Hey You I Wanna A Picture w/You"

Essex Pool & Splash Park

Yesterday I wanted to change up our water play fun from the beach to the public pool. I went online and discovered that there was a public pool and splash park in Essex ( 12 min drive ) and you can play ALL DAY for $3 per person. We had so much fun too bad I found it at the end of the summer.

Gotta love that smile!

A split in the water

Luna on the playground at the Park will the adults had their swim time.

Savy jumping of the HIGH diving board..I tried it and was scared.

Playing Catch Up!!

What an AMAZING summer we have all had.. Perfect weather and memories shared with perfect family and friends. I haven't posted in a while because I have been on the go since summer started between working, traveling and just having fun with the kids. Here is a preview of what we have been up to so far..

Beautiful view of the Rascotti Beach Reserve in Colchester, VT

Thumbs up to a fun day at Hampton Beach with Grampy Frank

Savy lost ANOTHER tooth ( that makes tooth #3) I cried with this one because it was his first front tooth. He now talks with a slur and it is to die for cute!!!

Savy sun tanning on the blanket with me at Leddy Park beach in Burlington, VT

There were TONS of sandy toes all summer long.. ADORABLE

Marv being just Marv!!! He's showing off in his hand the pipe cleaner bug he made at the Fairy Tale Festival in Merrimack, NH

We did plenty of reading in the great outdoors..

Luna looks so BIG in this picture with a jumbo lamb ( ? i think mary's lil lamb ?) at the Fairy Tale Festival in Merrimack, NH

Now that I finally got this long over due blog entry posted I'll TRY to me more up to date with what were all up too.. After all school is right around the corner and I got TWO school age kids now. ( insert small tears here of happiness and dread)

God Bless AMERICA

This year we had a super busy long weekend of beaching it and hanging out with friends. Which we had made the trip home to Maine to be with family, but we didn't so me being the creative event planner on a budget I went right to work filling our days. On the actually holiday we started our morning with waffles, blue berries and strawberries slices ( red, white & blue) then it was off to the Colchester, VT parade in the village. After that we went to the beach for the rest of the day. Once we got our fill of sand and water we headed home for a BBQ and Ice cream cones. We ended the evening with 2 hrs at the playground and a 20 min ( not impressive) fireworks display.

Savy and myself being silly while waiting for the parade to start.

Yay for America.

Before heading home we built this sand mermaid it took 45 mins to make but only 13 seconds for savy to destroy.

Good eats and even better friends

Bayside Park in Colchester, VT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!!

Colchester Strawberry Fest 2011

Today it started out to be another rainy day in Vermont. Which was upsetting because I had planned to take the kids strawberry picking. But by the afternoon the sun was shining and we were loading up to pick some red juicy strawberries, Savy stayed home with Tony. This farm Mazze's Farm is HUGE!! There was a petting zoo, general store, bouncy houses, Pony rides, games, and tons of FREE samples.

Annie the Shetland Pony

Zak the Bull.. He was HUGE!!!

Another thumbs up day in Vermont

If you look hard you can see Marv in the bouncy house...he's wearing the blue #8 shirt.

Luna wasn't so brave at first.

A visit up to the General store to taste some FREE samples of :

Strawberry Shakes, Smoothies, Strawberry fudge, Strawberry Donuts ( the sample was so yummy I bought a hlf doz. to take home) Choc. dipped Strawberries, Homemade Strawberry Ice cream and so much more...

A few weekends ago my friend invited the kids and myself to join them on an adventure to Shelburne Farm in Shelburne, VT. This place was awesome..I def want to go back again.
