Vermont Lake Monsters Game






The Lake Monsters baseball team is a single A team league in Vermont for the Washington Nationals. We went to their game last night against the Hudson Valley Renegades, representing the Tampa Bay Rays. My 8 year old son was the bat boy for the game, he was thrilled! He got autographs, a baseball, and a broken bat for a souvenir. It was a great night, honoring our military.
Today at camp Adam wrote a book about his expierence, love it!

I have a feeling I'm not in Vermont anymore





Oh my gosh yesterday was so crazy!!!! Tom, Adam, Noah and I were downstairs listening to the storm outside when suddenly I jumped and was like, "what was that?"Tom would say I screamed. Tom looked outside and we had a tree fall on our sun room. It was thundering and lighting outside and pouring!!! Tom wanted us all to get out of the house. We all jumped in the car in the pouring rain, and just got out of dodge. I didn't have my cell phone, baby bag, nothing. We drove around for a little while, trees were down everywhere. It looked like a Tornado ripped through our town. We never get severe weather in Vermont, we are actually lucky in that way. We ended up coming home when things calmed down, and noticed the sun room was in tact other then a 4000lb+ ash tree on it. We had some tree people come down and check it out, and they said it would cost $700.00 to get a crane out here and remove it. The tree was removed today, and to say it was a miracle that we had no damage is an understatement. The tree uprooted which made it come down slower then if it had split. God bless.

Roughing it in the woods decor






Tom and I took my friend Laura camping for a couple days up in the green mountains of beautiful Vermont. Laura is from Vermont, but moved to Tampa Florida several years ago. Laura was not exactly thrilled to go camping due to bears, and just the dirtyness of it all. Laura was unexpectedly surprised when I started decorating the site. I had bought a cool table cloth from the Maxx, matching pink and blue citronella candles, and black solar lights that attached to our shelter. Laura had a wonderful air mattress, and the morning before we left I convinced her to garage sale with us, we found a small battery operated fan for her. Laura sleeps with a fan every night. We had a great fourth of July!
