Vermont

We had a great weekend spending time with friends up in Vermont. I didn't realize how much I needed to get out of the city for some fresh air and a low key environment. The farm we were at was absolutely beautiful. We stayed in a house surrounded by apple orchards, woods with hiking trails, and rolling grass fields. With the weather cooperating beautifully it was an absolutely stunning place to spend the weekend.

Levi and Zeke had a great time. There was so much space and fun to be had on the farm and they just ate it up. However, their "urban upbringing" did flare up a little. We couldn't get Zeke to crawl in the grass because he didn't like how it felt on his hands. He would just sit there and pick the daffodils, but when it came time to move it was a no go unless we held his hands so he could walk around. Levi loved the wide open spaces and the woods, but he also loved all the battery operated children's cars that were around too!

As beautiful and relaxing as the weekend was, it still felt really good to get home.

Here are a few pics from the weekend.

Love the pictures. Your boys' looks are good combos of you both, but the picture of Zeke in the baseball cap really looks Rector-ish to me!!
