Fathers Day

We headed to Shelburne Farms for Fathers Day (after Dave slept in till 9 and the boys and I made him breakfast).

First, we checked out the animals.

Then, Chase milked a cow.

Next, we met up with friends and hiked to Lone Tree Hill.

 

And, we all posed with Dave for a Fathers Day memory.

Celebrate Summer and Par-tay.

We had about 60 people over yesterday (including little people) for a pot-luck BBQ.  Dave and I provided pulled pork, brisket, chicken and hotdogs and friends brought some Southern sides.

Max and I both have a habit of making not-so-cute faces when we are actually very happy.  Above, I am eating a heavenly pulled pork and cole slaw sandwich.  Below, Max is having a blast in the sprinkler.

Water features, bubble machines, beautiful weather, great food and friends - it was a pretty perfect Saturday.

 

BTC

We joined the Burlington Tennis Club this season.  There is a great pool, place to grille, and fun playground.  The other evening, we went by after work for a BBQ and some PG fun!

Static cling!

Octogonal Pizza

Chase taught Uncle Jon some of his pizza-making skills when we all met up at the Octagon for the weekend.  First, they rolled out the dough.

Then, they added delicious sauce, cheese and toppings - especially lots of bacon.

Max looked on hungrily until the final product was ready to eat.  Yum!

Sammy's Day

Sammy became a big sister a couple of weeks ago so we thought we should help celebrate!

We gave her lots of hugs and played a great game of "run across the lawn".

Cheers!

An ice cream cheers.  I'm not sure life can get much better than eating your first ice cream cone of the season across from three cute girls....when you are an almost-three-year-old boy.

Wheels

We had some final fun around the grounds before the long trip back to the USA (via Switzerland and Canada)...

Chase and Max were completed exhausted by the time we reached home!
