Scrapbooking

These rainy days are perfect for getting those odds and ends taken care of. Daddy has been working hard on the scrapbook project this weekend. It's fun for all of us to remember little experiences from our trip. This is where all our tickets and scraps get displayed. It's quite a fancy project. It's awesome!

Touch A Truck!




This is one of our big June events here in Montpelier. It is a fund raiser for our city recreation department. Big trucks.... fire trucks, ambulances, cement mixers, highway snow plows, school bus, dump trucks, fuel trucks, taxi's, police cars, bull dozers, excavators, 18 wheelers, etc. all park on the high school track and open their doors for kids to climb in. It's a fun horn honking experience for the kiddies!

There was a surprising turnout of trucks this year despite the pouring rain. It was kind of cold too.

Capital Picnics

This was the first of many summer picnics on the state house lawn. We live walking, I mean biking distance to our state capital. It is one of our favorite summer spots. Soon the Capital City band will start performing on the lawn. Dinner picnics are fun too.

FORT BUILDING

This is still a Team T favorite! This time the kids had to use their own room. It was quite a project. It kept the parents out of their room for sure!! Lots of fun!

Kids Track Meet



This was our third year at the Kid's Central Vermont Track Meet. What a great activity for kids here in Montpelier. Every year kids preschool-5th grade can participate in this four event track meet. This was our little guy's first year participating. They started with the long jump. The 1/4 mile (1 trip around the track) was the highlight event. Little Nootch ran quite a race. She squeezed past an older girl to finish 2nd. Then the softball throw and finishing out with the 100 yard dash. Something happened right off the start to Little man T at the beginning of his 1/4 mile race. He ended up falling 5 sec. into the race with scuffed knees and it ended his track meet experience for the day. The smiles finally came back when he heard his name called. He limped up to get his medal and wore it proudly the rest of the evening.
