Connecticut and Vermont

We went to Connecticut and Vermont.  We had so much fun staying with our friends, the Paterna family.  They have a 4.5 yr old girl who our boys adore and a 17 month old little boy who was super cute.  

This is the view I have of Landon pretty frequently.

 We went to Disneyland just the 2 of us before we left and this was one of the only photos I took.

 When we got to Ct, Matt was excited to see Aspen!

 And we went to a fair. We were quite a group with 5 kids and 5 adults.

 This boy is such a character.

 Yay!

 These 2 love one another

 We took the train to NY. Landon was in heaven. Then we went through Grand Central station, which he thought was the coolest thing ever. We met up with one of my favorite friends, Stacey, and her 2 little boys.

 Grand Central Station.  We left Aspen home with Courntey's nanny.  She would be happier crawling all around, not in the rain and being independent, than she would have been with us.

 Pretty princess.  I missed her so much on NY.

 We drove to VT. We stopped in the visitor center to go potty.

 The view from the patio at Courtney and Matt's VT house. So beautiful.

 Happy girl.

 Jackson is SUCH a great dog.

 We got to do this beautiful walk several times a day, down to the river.

 Throwing rocks in the river could be my kids favorite thing to do.

 There are 3 rainbows here but you can't see them very well.

 We went to Bromley - a fun place to play! We went on the Alpine slide and river rides, boucny house, trampolines, etc.

 I'm 11 months old today! I've been on 9 round trip plane rides to 13 states, Mexico and a Caribbean cruise.  I can crawl and cruise.  I am mellow, happy and love my family members.  When I wake up in the morning I kick my feet when I see Mommy.  As soon as Mommy picks me up I look around to see "Da! Da! Da!"  This always gets Da out of bed so I get kisses.  Upon seeing me, both of my brothers come over and give me hugs and kisses. I feel loved and I should be because I am such an easy, sweet baby.

We had a great trip! It was awesome to see our friends.  It is nice to be home! We are home until my birthday now and I am happy to have a break about traveling.
