Oh. This weekend, you guys. Not to overstate things, but this past weekend was perhaps the greatest one ever in human history.
The sun came out, the warm weather returned, and our little family spent as many hours outdoors as we possibly could. We went to one of our favorite spots: a local bakery right next to a park, and Xander went down the Big Kid Slide all by himself (and only ate a negligible amount of rocks). We went for long walks with the dog. We put Xander’s high chair on the deck and let him eat lunch while pointing wildly at all the birds (buh! buh!). We played with our next door neighbors and Xander ate his first ever popsicle. (Verdict? More, more, more moremoremore.)
It was so great.
And needed. I need this crazy long winter/interim period to be over. I need it to be spring. Or summer. Whatever. Just warm and sunny with scattered storms, sure, whatever, but NICE. The longer the cold and gray held on, the more I found myself wondering what have we done? Now that it’s nice again, I’m remembering the appeal of VT.
And THEN, to make Monday’s return less burtal, JS shared this link with me. A Trader Joe’s in Vermont? Can I even convey how awesome this would be? This is where we did at least 80% of our shopping.
Here are some pictures from the weekend.
Aw, that sounds like the perfect weekend and just what you needed! Xander is still SO cute. Those curls should be illegal
Hooray for the sun! We had three days in a row of sunshine this last week, and it’s remarkable how happier everyone is. Glad y’all got to enjoy your weekend!
I love this post!!! Sounds wonderful. And I’m looking forward to more sunny pictures of Vermont. I see the cold ones, and just think “I need to send help.”
Woo-hoo!!!!
