Visit to Vermont

We just got home from a nice weekend in Vermont. Finley has always enjoyed visiting Grandma and Grandpa Alsobrook, but now he's getting old enough to appreciate all of the exciting "stuff" to get into.

Finley insisted on putting on these big rubber boots. Getting around was a bit tough, but his enthusiasm was undimmed.

Machines with wheels are unbelievably exciting for Finley - he says "Brrmm Brrmm!" whenever he sees one, and he never misses an opportunity to climb up on them.

Peeking out of the barrel - a fun new way to play peek-a-boo.

Eating some delicious "ice" (grapes). Finley ate about a pound of ice on the first day of our visit.

Helping Grandpa with the yard work - at this rate, they'll have that pile moved by Christmas!


Finley alternated between pulling, pushing, and riding in the cart. Notice the bare feet. It was chilly and the grass was wet, but, like Grandpa, Finley has no use for shoes and socks.

Looking tough after a hard day's work.

Reading a story with Grandpa and Grandma (aka "Mimi").

Back home - peeking over the staircase with Dad. Finley was here!
