Labor Day in Vermont

We spent the 3 day weekend in Woodstock VT.  First we went to the Billings farm where we got to pet the draft horse, whose job it is to collect crops and maple sap when it's syrup season.

This was the modest cottage for the farm manager (not the wealthy farm owner, just the guy who ran the farm for him).

We also went up to Sugarbush Farms to see and sample local cheese and syrup.  We got to see the cows from afar (and behind an electric fence!), as well as up close and a little too personal (where they lick the feed right off of your hand).

Not pictured - 3 days of swimming in the resorts' indoor and outdoor "heated" pools.

First flight!

Zach got to take his first flight ever to Chicago to visit his Aunt Charlotte, Uncle Tim and his cousins Hailey and Ryan.

Grandma Francine from Phoenix also flew in to join in on the fun.

Some of the most fun was had at the children's museum especially in the water area.
