We are finally getting to write our trip to New England. It only took us two months! We began our trip with our usual flight into Boston and drive up to Sugar Hill, New Hampshire. Once there, we went to our favorite pancake parlor, Polly's!
Whitley took her annual photo on Trot Trot.
Then it was time for the family photo on our old pal.
Grammy and Papa didn't want to miss out either.
We always try to have a nice picture with the White Mountains in the background. (They look like they are wrestling in this photo!)
The Hargreaves/Wilson crowd began arriving on Friday afternoon. We had a pizza party on the deck overlooking the Green Mountains this time. Here, Mychaela, Avery, Uncle Don, and Whitley enjoy some dinner.
The crowd made its way to Willoughby Lake again this year. The water was what you would expect of a lake formed by a glacier, but it was beautiful! Lisa, Tom, and Karen enjoy the pretty scenery.
Everyone braves the chilly water with Mt. Hor (Yeah, that's right) in the background.
Avery and Whitley enjoyed paddling around in the rough surf. I guess the surf died down for this photo.
Liam got in on the surfing action with Whitley.
It looks like Whitley was rescued by sweet Shelly!
The kids love to go to the barn at the Wildflower Inn. They get to pet the goats, sheep, and horses.
They have to be careful to stay away from the business ends of the ponies! We have all had a lot of laughs over the gassy horses over the years!
This is the second year the kids have visited the playground at Grammy's old school. This photo is the result of one of Liz's mega spins!
Here is Liz in the act of winding them up.
Here are the kids, oldest to youngest. So glad they sat still for this!
Off to Chappy's for a bit of ice cream. Naturally, Whitley got her favorite, strawberry.
Scott, Whitley, and Mychaela giggle as they pose for a photo at one of Daddy's favorite places in Vermont. Cold Hollow Cider Mill is between Waterbury and Stowe, Vermont. It is a great place to get Vermont products as well as delicious cider doughnuts.
Daddy is still smiling even though the store was out of...cider.
Whitley takes a moment to pose with two of her favorite guys, Uncle Don and Papa.
The kids stop for yet another photo with the Green Mountains behind them.
Now the adults' turn! (Whitley took this one!)
Next stop, Ben and Jerry's for a cold treat! You can get just about any flavor you can imagine. They do have a graveyard, however. It contains all of their discontinued flavors.
If only Mommy and Whitley had all the money of the two guys they are pretending to be here!
Our last stop of the day was the Grandview Winery. This place has some fun wines and amazing views. Whitley and Liam pose for a sweet photo. They have so much fun together!
Our little family and the big view.
Cousins! Mychaela, Whitley, and Scott pause from running and rolling down the hill for a moment.
Sweethearts!
