For our vacation this year we headed out to Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts to stay at a vacation house owned by a friend of ours. It was set in a scenic, quiet, peacefully wooded area that allowed for taking a break from the normalcy of life.
My parents joined us and here we are on our first morning enjoying breakfast!
Roman loves his pancakes and was always trying to find a way to mooch more!
Big Sis and Daddy's favorite activity was hiking and exploring the woods and the brook that was so close by! |
There were many a mornings where Daddy and Big Sis took walks to the nearby bridge and threw rocks overboard into the brook below.

Swimming at Pilgrim Pines Christian Camp |

Playing in the sand was a big hit! |
Roman being a mischievous 'little brother'...what's he about to do? |
Burying Big Sis in the sand! |
Look closely and you'll see Zoe and Daddy outside in the woods. Daddy was telling the story of Hansel and Gretel and they were leaving a trail of breadcrumbs behind them. |
Playing with blocks and building stairs |
Midweek we took a trip to Boston to check out the Freedom trail. Along the path we discovered a nice little spot to break for the kids.
Roman timidly standing next to the fountains coming up from the ground. |
Big Sis diving in to the action! |
Roman getting a little braver! |
Zoe made a little boat to float in the brook. It was made from bark and a toothpick. |
Off to float her boat! |
Pop pulling Roman and Zoe on the pine needles out back! |
What fun! |

Ben's goal was to jump into the brook before we left. Here he is gearing up! |

It was a wonderful trip to Massachusetts and a great vacation! Thank you Mark and Charla for allowing us to use your home! We were blessed!
