Summer Vacation 2013 - Sun...Lake...Blog Updates!

What better time to catch up on the Delp Family blog than Summer Vacation 2013?!?

A lot has happened since M's birthday party in July. We got a wonderful Volvo and were loving being a two-car family again. Yeah, that lasted all of 4 days! Ugh. Car shopping = fall activity.

M also had her last day at Summit Children's School - her first preschool. She'll miss the teachers and kids there (and Shadow, the school cat), but she's already talking about "new school" and we're hoping she loves it next week.

So, on to vacation...here is a Day 1 Roundup:

Saturday, Aug. 24 - The Bondville Fair

The Bondville Fair is the oldest, continuous (annual) fair in the state of VT and was celebrating more than 200 years of festivities this year. While some of the activities seemed to date back to that first fair (a judged "vegetable art" contest, anyone?), there were new games and attractions that wowed M.


While they did not win, M loved playing the water gun game with Daddy.


Jasmine the 16-year-old llama was also a favorite - apparently she does not like people and M and J were the only ones she let feed her that day.


The highlight of the fair was undoubtedly M's 60-second ride on Boo-Boo the pony. She loved it, but K did lose all feeling in her hand due to the death grip!


The end to any perfect VT day - a roaring campfire, complete with marshmallows. Ahhhhh....
