Vermont with the Howard Family

We have lots of friends with winter birthdays. Charlie and Will are almost exactly a year apart and just a week after Ethan. The Howards invited us with 2 other families up to South Woodstock, VT to celebrate the boys birthdays with them. We almost didn't make it at all. Ethan was supposed to have basketball but it was snowing pretty well (one of the only times this year) and he'd had 4 shots at the pediatrician the day before so his arms were sore. We skipped that in an attempt to get on the road earlier but it was still pretty late by the time we left. The roads were not good and there was a big accident just over the boarder in NH. Steve and I debated a thousand times but decided to go for it and we made it in about 3 hours. The party was at the volunteer fire station which doubles as a community center in this small town in VT. It was super cool to hang out with the trucks and the kids could climb in, out and around as much as they wanted! I didn't take any pictures there, but the next day we took advantage of the newly fallen snow.


Steve tried to use the snowball gun but it was freezing and the snow was a little too fluffy.


Yeah...he was not too psyched about this.


Will...

and Charlie!

Dave was taking us all for rides on the snowmobile.  The property is huge and gorgeous!
