I love summer in VT. It's full of my favorite things - family, friends, creemes, fresh veggies, flowers, biking, hiking, boating, swimming, and sun sun sun! I could go on and on. It helps when the weather is gorgeous - It's almost like mother nature felt bad for punishing us for so many months in a row and she's trying to make up for it now. Sunny days in the low 80s is so heavenly.
Anyway - I had the chance to do lots of my favorite things over 4th of July when my dad and sister were up visiting.
My grandpa is the social chairman for our little community and every year he organizes a 4th of July picnic. It's a big hit.
I end up helping occasionally....this year I helped serve hot dogs.
After the picnic we went to Gus' 9th birthday party. This is Gus. He was not only celebrating his birthday, but also making it through a leg amputation and 5 rounds of chemo! He's doing great :)
How cute were his cupcakes?
Will stayed home and rested during the festivities :)
We also went out one night to dinner in cute Bristol, VT and then watched fireworks down at
Basin Harbor.
We tried to take a semi-group picture but as you'll see it was a bit too sunny :) Not that I'm complaining.
These turned out a bit better.
I'll let the pictures document the rest of the evening.
We had a front row seat to the fireworks. We were literally so close that we could feel the paper debris coming down during the show!
See the paper everywhere?
xo!
