Vermont, part the second

On Saturday morning we went tubing down the river. Not wanting a repeat of the last excursion, I didn’t take any photos of us battling the rapids. And battle them we did.

The river run was exhilarating and exhausting, and left us limping around for days.

Worth it? Totally.

I have to say, though, that the very best part of Saturday (possibly of the whole weekend) was all of us piling into the big bed to spend a lazy morning watching TV. Nothing to do and nowhere to be, except for together. Absolutely fabulous.

Scenes on the way to Vermont.

1. Stephen drove his new car, which is by far the roomiest and comfiest car of any in the family.

2. Bonus: he’s a great driver.

3. Double Bonus: Lexi joined us on our awesome kids’ adventure.

4. We listened to Disney songs from our childhood that can still make us cry.

5. Hanging out in the backseat with Hannah = awesome.

vacation: day 14

Saturday was the last day of our ‘official’ vacation, though let me just reassure my little sister now: summer is sooo not over yet.

Hannah and I spent the last day of vacation together, starting the day, as we often do lately, with breakfast and Buffy.

you cannot deny this awesomeness…

 

Then in the afternoon we headed over to the historic Hamilton House for a horse show. Royal Lipizzan Stallions, to be precise, and they are just as impressive as they sound.

 
And it was hot. Really, really hot. But the horses were awesome.
 

I love this shot. These two little girls were just in awe of the horses.

 

When Mom texted me to see if we wanted to do a movie, we said yes, if only because after roasting ourselves in the hot sun, the opportunity to sit in a cold and dark theater was all too appealing. We saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which was pretty damn amazing, and then went home to end the day with – what else? – Buffy the Vampire Slayer Heartbreaker (just a couple of Spike fans over here…)

I’d like to thank my family for seeing to it that this summer vacation was pure awesome with a side of awesomesauce. Y’all rock.

And not just because you’re related to me.
