Some pictures from our Vermont trip!

OK I know I know I am behind on this but I have alot going on. Today alone Samantha's soccer team is coming over with their familes for a BBQ. 60 of them...oh my! I have 15 min. to spare so lets see how many I can get on here....




Anthony's first paddle boat ride:



Sam and Sophia lovin their ride. Sophia screamed the whole time to go faster while Sam screamed "Slow down!!!"



cute one of Sam and really just here to drive Steve nuts. He hates her wearing these type of suits!

OK there is more to come. Including the rescue and the kite flying.

8/11 - UPDATE

Still no pictures. Really the only reason is that I am too lazy to download any right now. So to add to the list we have had to deal with a bout of Coxsackie with Anthony. Poor little guy - he's all better now though and loving the lake! Steve is growing some crap on his face that just doesn't fit so I see a razor in his near future. Lil Steven is well on his way to becoming wiffle ball champion of the lake. Samantha is kayaking (thanks to Tara's recent purchase) like a pro. Bella still has a broken arm but you'd never know it. She is having a blast. Sophia is a maniac but lovin her days on the lake.

On a high note - Steve surprised me with a wonderful night away at the Equinox Hotel. We spent the day shopping in Manchester. Would you believe that he went in and out of stores without complaint. He carried bags, waited while I tried clothes on. It was a perfect day. After shopping we checked into this beautiful hotel

We changed into some fancy clothes :) and were adults. We sat at the bar and had good wine and cheese. Then we had a wonderful dinner and it was delicious. Oh and the biggest thing was we did all this with NO KIDS!!! It was such a nice surprise. Even better the kids were angels for Grandma and Grandpa - so no worries will be had when we leave them for Vegas in a month.

OK that's all for now. I got kids screaming for a ride on the jet ski.

Update 8/7

Shit has hit the fan here on our family vaca - more to come......

it involves:

lost keys
skunks
an ER visit
guns
children being caused bodily harm involving the jet ski

OH boy fun times!

Vermont 2010

We here folks! It's time for a little vaca! So far we are off to a good start. We had a smooth ride up in the new ride - it was sweeeeet! One problem though - XM radio! Yes the radio is the problem - Steve is addicted to it like nothing I've ever witnessed. It was like sitting in a karaoke bar for 4 hours. HE SANG THE WHOLE WAY UP. Unfortunately I have been banned from video taping him in the car but lets just say it would have made for a GREAT POST!

So the kids have turned their feet in for flippers and have left the water to eat and sleep. With the exception of a little work, Steve is starting to unwind. The tiniest one of our pack is lovin it - aside from a little teething he's having a good time and will seem like he has aged a whole year by the time we leave.

I don't think I can give you pictures this week as it appears I have pack everything but the kitchen sink and my camera/computer sim card reader. It's the thingy that lets me transport my pictures from my camera to the computer.

I'll figure something out!
