A weekend in Vermont

A short drive straight north from our house in Connecticut takes you right through Massachusetts...
and you end up in VERMONT!
Our dear friend, Audie lives in Long Island but has a home in Vermont and graciously invited us up for an extended weekend. This is her home in the snow, fog, and forests. Beautiful!
We started our weekend with some hillside sledding, which we quickly learned also came with hiking back to the top for a second go, there has go to be an easier way!
Lindsey is just about out of energy...
Grayson loved it!
and Abby set the world record for Crowther family "sledding for distance" record. She was rewarded with a very long walk back up the hill. Ha!
There is an easier way!! The tubbing run at Mt. Snow, as it turned out, came complete with a magic carpet that took you all the way back up to the top for your next ride. Genius.
Our family and our host for the weekend; Audie. The perfect host, the perfect mountain, the perfect weather!

We loved Vermont. It was full of beautiful small farms, rolling hills, and lots and lots of Sugar Maple Trees being tapped for sap to make Maple Syrup
