Sailing in Grandpa's boat

Mike has a sailboat with his friend Kurt moored just across the border in Newport Vermont and we finally got out for a day last week.

Sweet ride Grandpa

Ayers Cliff Fair

This weekend we hit the Ayer's cliff fair. It's the town at the other end of Lake Massawipi from North Hatley. It was a really hot day but Ben enjoyed the day. He liked the rides the most. I think we are all "faired out" now.

Just Ben.

Music in the park

Every Sunday in North Hatley there is a small concert in Dreamland park. It's only a 5 minute walk from Kira's parents place so we decided to check it out this Sunday.

It's country fair time!

This week Cookshire....

I was suspicious about what we were getting ourselves into
when we pulled into the "parking lot"

Very shortly after that my suspicions were confirmed

Onto the cow judging

Not sure what was happening here? I told Ben not to watch.

He ignored me

Onto the horse judging

Ben was pumped

Ben was a bit nervous about making the height

He was relieved when he got the pass

The ride home was remarkably quiet
