Long Weekend Bliss

Cheers!

This weekend we braved the subzero temperatures in Vermont to warm our hearts with a visit to the Coburns.  While we're psyched to have additional reasons to visit VT, man I miss having these guys in the city.  

This is how they serve toast in the morning.

How excited does David Andrew look to have a cute girl in his tub?

It was SERIOUSLY freezing out, but we tried to go sledding anyway.  The mission was aborted when Ellie wouldn't stop crying about how much the cold hurt her face.  Cry baby.

The next day we sensibly stayed inside and visited a local museum that had a toy train exhibit.  Ellie could have spent five hours pushing the red button that made the toy billboard switch advertisements.  She didn't approve of anyone else taking a turn.

Isn't it a little like wonderland?

We had a great time playing with the kids, but ADULT DINNER on Sunday night was a definite highlight.  John and Becky left the city over four years ago, and I'm so grateful we get to see them often.  Not often enough, mind you, but a girl's got to take what she can get.
