Vermont

We went up to VT for Memorial Day weekend (the 6th anniversary of our engagement!). We visited Calais (Grandpa and Grandma Henny), Burlington (Auntie Donna and to watch Scott run the marathon), and Browington (Grammie and Scott). Great trip!

She insisted on having her seat belt "buckled!"


Eating and driving...


Grammie's friend made Kate the best barn ever! It is way too big for Cambridge, so it will stay in VT. Kate loves it!

After a Memorial Day parade, we stopped for a creemie (spelling? sorry, not a native Vermonter. I call them "soft-serve") at the most beautiful spot (Irasburg, VT)

Papa, Grammie and Scott


Kate actually didn't eat hers..."too cold!"

Laughing with Grammie




Oh, maybe some of Grammie's...



Back in Derby, we visited Scott's farm





There is Flowers, born 2 weeks ago





These cows (and one bull) are hay-fed all winter. They are about to be let out to pasture for the first time this season (and the first time ever for the calfs!) It was so cool to see them excitedly eating the new grass, especially Flowers who is the only one limber enough to frolic!


Out they go to pasture


And we follow behind


There is Flowers enjoying her first fresh meal




They have it good

Scott has a Robin's nest outside the house. This one just hatched!

Grammie's carpenter, Ernie, stopped by with a horse he made for Kate! Grammie and Scott are going to hang it in the house. Kate had just been given a lesson on John Deere tractors, so when asked what the new horse should be named, she declared "Dear John". Hilarious.

Dear John
John Deere



Kate was becoming a real farmer by the end of the day....

One more time playing with the barn and blocks before hitting the road back to Cambridge...
