Cousins!

We've had so much fun this past week with lots of our family in town :) First, Matt's parents were here...a post on their visit is coming up next!

A lot of my extended family was in town as well. Aunts, uncle, cousins... We spent a lot of time at the lake, participating in all the planned events.

First up was the regatta...We had a big crowd this year.



6 of us participated in the canoe race - here were are in preparation...





We looked pretty good on the way over!




Sadly, one of our boats come in second to last and the other came in last. It wasn't for lack of effort! My grandpa and uncle stayed strong to the end...



Up next, the ice cream social! I didn't get any photos of that but about 18 cartons of ice cream were eaten - yum! There are still about 4 leftover in our freezer :)

Then came the Addison County Fair and Field Days!

4 cousins + 1 girlfriend :)



The cutest car riders that ever existed...



I mean, come on, could they be more adorable?!





We rode lots of rides...







Including running through the fun house.



We had a great crowd to cheer us on....



No trip to a Vermont county fair is complete without a visit to the maple house!



To get a maple milkshake...



We also visited the Demo Derby...



And Goatutopia....



The kids ended the evening with a ride on the Ferris Wheel - the "big kids" rode a few of the more scary rides before we left :)



They all left yesterday and things feel pretty quiet around here now....
