In continuation of our summer of travels, this past weekend we spent four days in Vermont visiting my folks. The weather was beautiful and we had a number of experiences that were the firsts of what will probably be many over the years:
Anna's First Horseback Ride
Every Monday Mom goes riding with her friend Elaine Keeler. After riding on Monday, Elaine brought out Elska, an Icelandic horse, for Anna to say hi to. She showed absolutely no apprehension so Elaine offered to let her sit on Elska. Still having no fear, they walked a few circles. Anna loved it!
Our First Barre Heritage Festival
Okay, so the festival its self may not be a frequent occurrence but this was also Anna's first corn dog (what's better than a hot dog you eat like a popsicle?) and Luke's first full sized parade.
Luke's First Dunk in the Pond
Between the lake and the splash pool we have had quite a bit of time in the water this summer but Luke has managed to sleep through every trip. But this time he didn't escape. Justin gave him his first good dunk in the pond at the Floating Bridge. Luke took it all in stride and enjoyed the swim.
Anna is getting to be an old pro at the pond - she can even snap up her own life jacket before going for boat rides. However, she too had a first. She jumped off the dock to Justin and then climbed back up using the ladder. Too bad the camera was no where to be seen. The surprise on her face was priceless!

Trip to Grampa's office
