Last week of summer

We ended summer vacation with a bang. First up was a weekend in Vermont with 4 other families, friends from preschool. Then we traveled to Flagstaff to spend a few days with Gruncle and Suzie. Back at home we enjoyed our final 2 days of vacation enjoying our puppy Cloey, and at a BBQ with friends from our old adoptive family group.

First up are pictures from Vermont:

Liem's dad Andrew decided to do gymnastics on the lawn at Tangle wood while we waited for the performance. We met 4 other families there for the children's concert. 

Ally, Stella, her dad Nat and I went into the hall for a few songs. 

Picnic dinner at Erik's grandparents house in Bennington.

Ally and Stella put on a dance-gymnastics performance. 

Andy's sister Charlotte is 10 and she showed Ally how to play the piano.

Ally said it was fun but her fingers got tired.

We went out and watched the stars.

In the morning Ally and Stella showed Erik how to play Fr.ozen Free Fall.

We went on a short hike and then checked out the Apple Barn. Ally had fun tasting all the different varieties of maple syrup.

The 5 former Blue Otters; Stella, Andy, Ally, Erik and Liem.

Right before we left we got Ally's class list and she and Erik are in the same class AGAIN this makes 6 years in a row!

This is Erik's dad John and his little brother Nicky.
