1st Time to Vermont

Last weekend we took a trip with the Branchies to Vermont-- our first time there EVER!  Pres. Young was incredibly gracious to host us in his beautiful Vermont home AND he cooked us all a wonderful lunch AND dinner!  We were so spoiled!  One of the greatest day trips ever!

We had some fun trekking around in the snow on a little hike-- I never thought that I would ever, ever take a hike in the winter in Vermont, but it was a really great time!  We also stopped by a sugaring barn where the owners tap their own maple trees and cook down maple syrup to sell; so Vermonty!  We also ate a ton of cheese and fudge samples at the country store...oops.

Here's some tiny glimpses of our fun, photos by the indefatigable Matthew:

Pardon our funny expressions, we were eating lunch :)

Plus we got to hang with our favorite little buddy.  Does he have the ruddy cheeks and curls of a cherub, or what?!

Huddling for warmth on our snow hike, haha
