Hair

Craft time at our house yesterday ended with new hairdos for both kids thanks to Hudson.

Hudson waiting at the hair dresser to get his hair fixed. He just took a little chunk out of his hair.

The hairdresser said she couldn't do anything for Anna Kate's hair yet. I guess we'll go back in a few months to see if it can get evened up then. 

this is about half of Anna Kate's hair that was cut

Vermont

It was such a treat to get to spend 2.5 weeks in Vermont this summer. The weather was perfect for spending all day outside. Our favorite activities were hiking, tennis, running, playing at the lake, kayaking/canoeing, and the kids loved exploring the construction area. 

While we were there, my dad was having the brooke that runs behind the house moved to prevent erosion. There was an excavator and bulldozer and each boy got to take a turn operating the excavator.

Remember the song "Boondocks". I'm not sure if that's the name, but all kids loved cranking it up and singing along in the car. 

We did lots of hiking, but I was particularly impressed by Hudson hiking all the way to the top of Jay Peak (a local ski mountain) without any complaining.

After hiking to the top, we rode the tram down.
