Just Bee-utiful!

Emma's bee. 

Grace's bee. 

A sweet story about bees followed by a bee craft was the perfect way to spend yet another cold, rainy afternoon! 

Busy Bees

We arrived in gorgeous Vermont Friday late afteroon.

And, of course, I had to wonder why it is we don't live here.  Seriously, could it be any more beautiful?

After catching up with Brad, Hannah and Hannah's sister Sara (who we had not seen since our wedding day nine years ago) we got busy decorating the tables for the wedding the next day.



The girls did a great job helping set the tables.  They both loved placing the honey bears at each persons spot. 

Dave poslished our unity candle holder which had not seen the light of day in nine years.  We were so excited that Hannah and Brad wanted to use it in their ceremony. After he was done polishing it, he got to work making the beeswax candles fit in the taper candle holders.

  And even as sister moon rose in the sky the hive was still a buzz with excitement! Everything was set and ready for the next day.  The day that we had all been looking forward to for all these months was finally upon us! 



Unplugged Sunday Part 1

Our Unplugged Sunday started with a trip to Tower Hill Botanic Garden for the First Annual Family Picnic.  It was a gorgeous day, a little on the warm side, but a perfect day nonetheless.

We all agreed that this was one of the neatest fairy houses there!

Our finished fairy house!

It was such a great way to spend the first part of our Sunday!  The Tower Hill Family Picnic was fantastic, and we hope that they do it again.  We said our good-bye's to my parents (who we'll see again next weekend when we all gather for the annual July birthday celebration) and headed on our way to home to grab our swimsuits, beach toys and some drinks to meet up with our family of friends at Hopkinton State Park. Swimming and a cook-out with friends was the perfect way to end a fabulous day!  Pictures to come tomorrow.
