These are a few of my favorite things…
Though there haven’t been a lot of “photo-worthy” moments lately, we’ve been making plenty of memories, enjoying nice spring weather, and enjoying time together as a family in our new home.
Way back at the end of May, we took a family trip to explore some of Vermont. Apparently, as Vermont residents we are required to visit, at least once, the Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream factory :-). It’s about a 2 hour trip from our house, but we had some other stops on the way so we made a day of it. We couldn’t take many pictures inside the factory—it was only a short video and then an overview from a room above the main factory area, but then we got samples! They had mint chocolate chip that day, which none of us were that excited about, so we bought some other flavors before we left.
Brett had a hard time deciding among all their flavors…
The kids voted for just plain chocolate…
We had a lot of fun seeing how the ice cream is made, but mostly we had fun tasting!
A couple days later, we enjoyed a huge beautiful rainbow right in our own backyard. We could see both ends! And at one point it was a DOUBLE rainbow! God truly reminds us of his love and blessings upon us each day.
We have enjoyed a few pretty hot days, and one day we took advantage of that to get out our kiddie pool. We have a great, private backyard now so they could enjoy plenty of space to run around and get grass all in the water! I made Abigail a separate bucket just because I didn’t think she’d like how deep—or how cold—the bigger pool was and because all she really wanted to do was put water from the pool in her bucket and dump it back out again over and over.
And, just another fun time: we made pizzas for lunch. A family affair. And they were tasty!
Still a couple more months of summer left to enjoy and we’re excited about all we have to look forward to!
