A couple of weeks ago we took Holden on his first vacation. We rented a house up in Vermont that was secluded and set up on a hill. It was an amazing piece of property with a ton of open land and beautiful views. The main living area was all windows with a breathtaking view of the valley below and a range of mountains in the distance. We all had so much fun. Even the rain was fun because we had an unobstructed view of lightning shooting across the valley.
It was especially fun to watch Holden take everything in and enjoy himself. One night Bill made a camp fire and we roasted marshmallows. Holden went nuts, excitedly kicking his legs and shrieking with delight. He loved the fire and holding the marshmallow stick. We also took the dogs swimming a lot and Holden got a kick out of watching them romp through the water.
For three days, my Aunt Sally and Uncle Don from Florida came and stayed with us. Holden absolutely adored them. And it was so great for Bill and I to see them, as it has been years since we've all been together.
The dogs also had a blast. My aunt and uncle completely spoiled them by throwing the ball literally all day and also finding a cool place for them to swim. I kid you not, when my aunt and uncle left, the dogs were really depressed.
Below are some pictures from the trip (thanks, Uncle Don, for taking so many). If you click on them, you can get a larger view. Enjoy!
