VT 2012

Our 2.5 weeks in Colchester, VT with the Muir side of the family:

spraying dad in the face with the water bottle
can I get a "neigh?"




love picking those blueberries


some got put in the pail, I promise

she knows how to get the big juicy ones!






perfect beach this year!

perfect weather too, only 1 rainy evening









                                                 

up in the loft


donuts after mass could their be anything better?

found M.E. quietly reading to baby Joseph in the corner

These Crawfords love games!


store named after Lucy at Church Street

Kevin decided that he never has the need to go back to Church Street again


adults relaxing, or at least in between running after kids


 The Sandbar provides hours of digging, building and cooperating for the kids


running and jumping off the sandbar into the water

Lucy gets in the action too

Girl cousins

dozing Mike and sleeping Paul

Airport park tire swing



water table- just as fun, less sandy





carrying my 3 kids


Mary Elise getting a ride on the surfboard?


more sandbar action


I think it just kept getting bigger and bigger every day

taking turns holding the "babies"

patty cake with cousin Emma

All 25 campers, 14 kids, 11 adults, 10 kids four or under, 7 in diapers, 2 in utero

a Crawford wet hug for Aunt Katy

sprinklers and slip n slide


pulling the kids on the wet towel

they all gave it a try

wet Lucy!

even the reluctant ones


canoe ride

we paddled it backward the whole way

Aunt Katy and nieces hair-brushing session




Uncle Kevin was trying to win over John D. the whole time, I think it finally happened  by  letting him feed him blueberries

everyone playing ring around the rosie

ashes ashes we all fall down


It was a great trip guys, glad to spend time with everyone.  Hope there's a way we can do it again someday!
