2012 Aug -Sep Farm Activities

The summer has passed and we regrettfully find ourselves in Fall  Although Falll is beautifull in VT this summer was the best. We enjoyed what felt like endless sun and comfortable weather.. The land of fruits and vegatables gave us some bounty of tomatoes, cucumbers, basil (we made pesto) and some herbs for a spice here and a spice there.  August was fun with a trip to Santa's village for a quick weekend away at this great spot in Jeffersonville NH.. The kids loved it..Sophie was just tall enough for the best rides... Labor day brought our annual visit to Betsy's in Peterborough and we enjoyed our family time.. Our highlight for the farm was a late summer backyard campout. This year we had over 15 adults and 17 children !!! The kids outnumbered us. This year andrew slept outside (well sort of) with Henry and sophie in a two person tent . It was  a bit tight with 20 or so stuffed animals which made it in with us..
September was the start of school and Henry and Sophie jumped right now. Sophie is in her 2nd year of pre school and Henry is now in 1st grade.. He isdoing great and has been very active with sports including both Soccer and Golf. He now hits it 90 yards after a golf camp with the ulimate "golf" school. Sophie has started pre ballet and is enjoying some new moves. We have nightly dance parties now.. I have sharpened some of my signature moves as well. We had a great visit from Uncle Bob and Brother mark to see chrstopher at Middlebury . I also got out to see VT own rock star Grace Potter I was able to finish the porch and have also fixed up the upstairs of the barn to include Lights and a ping pong table. (Also to be used for beer pong)
That's it for now ...
