Joseph Smith

We lived just a few miles from Joseph Smith's birthplace in Vermont and the week before we left we finally visited. Phil thinks 10 wives would be alright. Look closely, we are all wearing shirts with Phil's face on them.
Somethings funny. The centerpiece of this thing is this pint sized Washington Monument with waaaay to much writing on it.


The grounds were beautiful but they had speakers hidden thorughout the grounds that piped in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, creepy.

Strawberry Fest goodbyes

Some of our favorite people are in Vermont.

Strawberry Fest 3

The girls get to pickin.
Jenny and RJ get it done.

Liam ate them as fast as he could pick them.
We did not come here to do manual labor.

Strawberry Fest part 2

The reason i'm here.
RJ and D share a moment(D requested the headlock).
Do you think this caution tape is here because of this beehive?

Can't he read the sign?

Strawberry Fest

One of our last acts as Vermont residents was to hit up the Strawberry Fest.
Face painting first. It was Liam's birthday and he just wanted a blue 7 on his face.

A stroll through the greenhouses.
And a nutjob in a costume.

Cold weather cook outs

The next few sets of pictures will be completely out of order, i have photos on two computers and three different cards. Are those two wearing jackets in summer? Oh Vermont, i miss you so.
Phil has issued the challenge.
Act like you are attacking me. Phil you just grin.
Huh?
RJ decided to go to bed in the middle of a party? Doesn't he know Phil is here?

In the White River

We spent some time in the White River while Gretchen took care of school stuff.

Father's day

A sword and a book, beat that.
Kung Fu Panda
and a little shopping.

Things to throw

We bought a flying dragon, easily the best four dollars i've ever spent. Liam catches.
Chloe throws.
Boomerang time.
G wasn't very happy that it landed this close.
Game over.
