Saturday in Vermont....

I've been up here for a week and have done very little stitching. I have hand stitched a few light pinks to my trip around the world quilt. The next round will be a hot pink... then a lime green to hit the RSC colors for July.

I have done a little stitching on my 1857 album quilt blocks. This one 'might' get finished today while watching the kids play in the lake. I did promise kayaking today... since the little rain shower just nixed the hiking up the mountain this morning. We'll do that tomorrow morning before the family gathering around lunchtime.

After the last update in the Wednesday post.... we have been busy. Thursday my sister and a friend came out to camp and we headed out for a little hike at Moss Glenn Falls in Stowe. Beautiful views and a nice hike with some playing in the steam after.

 Then it was back home for the afternoon with a boat ride while Mom took Dad to the Er to have a quick check with a droopy left eye. Nothing popped up on that and it went back to normal. We'll just keep an eye on it.  My niece came out for the afternoon to visit. After the boat ride she was in the lake with the kids until it started to thunder. We moved inside and played some games, had dinner (Firehouse pizza from the little store) and then went to the community bingo game. Big stakes.... $1 or bring a baked good to get in and cards were 3 for a $1!. The old fashioned way with chips to cover the called numbers. We didn't win anything but had a great time.

Friday was a Burlington day. We headed up and hit the Fizz Festival at Echo Science Center right on the waterfront. The kids had a great time watching soda explode and bubbles foaming everywhere.
We did a quick stop at Lake Champlain Chocolates to get some factory seconds of dark chocolate for Greg. Hopefully it did not melt too much in the cooler while we headed to the minor league baseball game that night. I am working part time at VSAC as a computer programmer and I got a few tickets to the game for employee appreciation night and a BBQ before hand.

It turned out to be princess and superhero night at the Lake Monster game.... so Emily got  a tiara and wand and ring, they also had The Oasis Day Spa doing hair, nails and glitter designs for the girls. Emily got a flower on her face and Aidan got a leaf on his arm. The kids had a great time at the ball game and despite it being a late night for them (in bed at 10PM) they actually SLEPT IN until 8 this morning!

Linking up with  Slow Stitching Sunday on Sunday. Linking up with the RSC Challenge for a teeny tiny bit of pink.
