Apple Picking 2024

Fun annual trip to Mack Farms for some U-pick apples!!

First stop, the farm market for some apple cider doughnuts to enjoy in our favorite spot.

Had to say “hello” to the sheep on the way out. Shaun named this one “chocolate” 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Let the picking begin! Lots of yummy apples this year!

Sam spent most of the time eating the apples ha!

Poor Gabby trying to eat an apple without front teeth.

See ya next year!

Sammy’s First Day of Pre-K!

Sammy is a “Busy Bee” at the Burlington Early Childhood Center. (BECC)

We are so proud of him! In the morning, we could tell he was excited to go to school just like his big sister. 🙂

He was a little sad to go in alone, but he made the transition, and was soon inside having fun with the other kids. ❤️

At pickup, his teacher walked him out and said that he told her he “didn’t want to leave”. 😭

Couple of bonus pic’s. Mac was very proud to see another one of the littles off to school. 🐶

And he was spoiled by a walk with both of us .. just like the good ol’ days.

Labor Day Weekend in Malone

We had a great time visiting Julia, Mike and Margo in Malone for the holiday weekend!

So happy we could be there for Margo’s special day ❤️

Lots of quality time with the rest of the family too. Besties!

“Uncle Nimmo!“ – Sammy

On our way to Malone we stopped for lunch at the Vermont visitor center. Pretty good view!

And about twenty minutes away from Julia’s house we saw a black bear! I may have mentioned it a couple of times on our trip but had to share it one more time. 😂

Grammy and Papa Visit!

After the long drive (and some classic Boston traffic…) Grammy and Papa arrived and had some awesome gifts for the kids!

We had a nice night grilling out with Grammy and Papa! (No pics.)

The next morning was beautiful weather so we made our way to the school playground. 🙂

Then we enjoyed the afternoon by relaxing and playing outside.

And we had a nice big meal together at one of the kids’ favorite restaurants. (No pics.)

The next morning, we boogied up to Ogunquit, ME for an amazing day at the beach!

Finally, we finished up the day at home, and had some delicious Indian takeout! One of Grammy’s favorites! (No pics.)

Thank you so much for visiting Grammy and Papa!
