Vacation

Days until Gigi's House

Tree Hunting

Fireworks?

Today found us at the top of Mount Abe. The girls seem to have an endless amount of energy lately, so we figured that we could tap into some of it for an extended period of time. It was no Everest - a modest 5 and change for mileage- but it wore us down, and more importantly, wore the girls out.

Taking in the view to the West over Lake Champlain. - Tua kept asking us where the fireworks were.....she was obviously tuned into somthing we weren't.






Pip and Seth near the top......

Pip and Seth at the top.

Pip- bandied about by the light breeze, refused to wear anything heavier than this light shirt.

Pure exhastion at trails end.

STamps

The girls never have been fond of writing letters; but the idea is growing on Tua. She chose to write a letter to her Illinois grandparents- GIGI and GJUSH- and we managed to catch the final touches on film.

Triage

I interviewed Tua recently on the subject of a blister she received whilst hiking in the woods.
