Vermont Beauty

In no particular order, some photos from our trip.

Oh, how I love the bridges!  (Bartonsville, I think)

pretty wildflowers

Another great bridge (Paper Mill, I think)

Peonies at Hildene with their wonderful scent

Beautiful! (Hall Bridge)

I like the natural wood as much as the red bridges.

Love it! Our first bridge of the trip (West Arlington)

Walk your horses across the bridge! (Worrall?)

Picture This

We have a routine in our family now, when it comes to taking photos, especially of the kids together.  They pose nicely, sometimes even close enough to touch, if and only if I let them do a silly one, too.

Which usually means they pretend to pummel each other.

Here they are, waiting for the bus on picture day:

Last-Weekend Photos

Here are some photos to and from Comic Con last weekend.  

The brick building on 38th where the carriage horses live. So sad. I'm for the ban.

SMAUG!  This was one of our favorite booths.  We bought some mini-Hobbit houses.  Bud posed with a cosplay Gandalf.

LOVED some of the t-shirts.  Here, fan girl.  

A t-shirt for Sis.

These made me laugh.
