last week's newsreel
No posting for a whole week? Blame it on a vacation, folks.
First we headed to Lake George for a few days to be hosted by the amazing Smith family. We enjoyed the spoils that Silver Bay has to offer: string quartet concerts, walks in the woods, swimming, kayaking, boating, outlet shopping, para-sailing, and summer dinners with family and friends. Oh yeah, we also sat under the stars while Yo Yo Ma played Shostakovitch and Saint Saens. Not a bad deal!
We then traveled to Port Henry, New York for a few nights on the shores of Lake Champlain. Our home base secured, we traipsed over the Lake Champlain Bridge to Vermont. Kipp & Caleb were gettin' hitched and Hubby was officiating. But that's another whole post.
Enjoy a few pics. And don't forget to pray for my favorite family as they fly to the Dominican Republic early tomorrow morning.
We got a taste of New England this week. I basked in strolling around the town of Vergennes, Vermont just to take in people's front porches and gardens.
Middlebury, Vermont is also a fun town through which to browse. This colorful display greeted shoppers at the door of the Folklife Art Center, where we were inspired by paintings, sculpture, jewelry, photography, and more.
The thunder of these falls pervaded the downtown shopping area. I love water!
I have never been able to walk past a sign like this. All hardcovers:$2, all paperbacks:$1. Outta my way.
#1 Daughter and Friend #12 pose amidst 18th century ruins at Crown Point, New York.
These were the barracks for the British troops during the French and Indian War. We explored the grounds on Thursday, and returned Saturday morning to watch our first re-enactment battle. (I won't even try to compete with #1 Son's photos of that!)
Later Thursday afternoon, we traveled to Vermont for Kipp & Caleb's wedding rehearsal. This is the view of the meadow where the ceremony took place.
This was the stunning panorama that served as the background during the ceremony. The pond to the right is "heart-shaped"(how appropriate!), so the guests and newlyweds joined hands around it for a photo afterwards. #1 Son climbed to the top of the barn with his camera for a bird's eye view.
My favorite family has a penchant for rubber duckies, so you can imagine our glee at spotting this poster on the chamber of commerce door in town. Some people have all the fun.
