Sunday Fun (by Kevin)

Since January Sapphire and I shared most of the day on Sunday's together doing all sorts of things. Emma had restarted Cabaret practice so that meant I had Sapphire all to myself. Some Sunday's were great and others were so so. I tried to fill the days with activities around the house and run errands. We generally had a lot of fun. I recently snapped a couple of pictures from a couple of the Sunday outings. Now that Emma is in her performance during the whole month of May it will not be long and the whole family will be back together on Sunday's doing fun family activities.

Sapphire loves her back pack carrier We recently made a trip to Lowe's one Sunday to pick up some items

We had a lunch date in my truck before we hit Lowe's to do some shopping Sapphire drove that day

Out and About

Check out these great pictures that Uncle Ollie took of Sapphie hanging out downtown. She loves to walk everywhere and loves Church Street.

May 1st (by Kevin)

Well I thought the last day of the year was going to be with Soe and Colin over Easter Weekend but it was not the true last day of the season. We ended up getting a surprise May Storm this year. It has been awhile since I have skied in the month of May. All of the mountains in Vermont had closed the week after Easter due to very unseasonal warm temps during April. So it looked dismal that the season was officially over with no chance of another storm.

BUT Mother Nature prevailed and dumped almost 24 inches of white stuff on the higher elevation areas of Vermont. This meant that the mountain ski resorts were recharged with a dose of white stuff. There was the possibility that the golf clubs would have to stay in the garage for one more weekend.

Word on the street was as the snow started to accumulate that Jay Peak Resort was going to open for one more last time after being closed to cash in on the snow, sun and fun for 4 days. So Colin, Issac and I decided to head up and take in the chance to ski or ride on May 1st. They were offering a special rate for $40 you got a lift ticket to paradise and a BBQ lunch over on the patio at their new lodge.

So we loaded up Saturday morning and headed up 89 North to 105 to 242 which brought us to a packed parking lot at the base of the mountain. The atmosphere was electric with swarms of people trying to get that last dose of snow to carry them over until next year.

It was a great day to be with Issac and Colin and enjoy the snow and the scenery. The ski season has officially signed off for the year so I can now honestly say "See you next year"

Here comes Superwoman!

Sapphie's been walking for a few weeks now, but hasn't really committed to it until Sunday. Here are some great videos I took yesterday when I got home from work. Look at how she sticks her right arm straight out - isn't it funny? She's very serious about her walking and uses her arm to point to where she wants to go. She looks just like superwoman!

And here's another, even better one:

Doggies enjoying the water

Look at this cute video of Copper and Cabot catching sticks in the water. See how Cooper glides in, so gracefully? And then look at Cabot - he always jumps in like a clumsy ox because he is so excited that he can't control himself. Sapphie loves watching them swim.

Pucker up

Sapphie loves lemons.

And beer!
