We just had the first real sunny weekend that I’ve seen since I’ve been here in Vermont. So we had to make the most of it. Saul has been waiting to take the Boat and the Wave-runner out on the lake.
Saturday was the day we hit the lake, it was heaps of fun but I think I got a little too much sun.

Can you tell we are having fun?

And then today we just got back from an overnight camping trip up in the Lye Brook Wilderness. We didn’t see a bear but we had heaps of fun.
We hiked 5 miles the first day and then camped just off the trail. Cooked some dinner and played some cards. The second day we hiked another 5 miles and by the time we reached the end of the trails we where all super tired!

Jenn didn’t have any bugs around!

This is all our food up in a tree so that the bear can’t get it!!

I must say it was a really fun weekend but I think I got a bit too much sun!!

Today Saul and I hiked up to Lye Brock Falls which is about a three hour return trip.

It took us close to two hours to get up there because it’s pretty steep on the way up and Gracie one of the dogs ate a toad and wasn’t feeling very well.

Before we could get there we had to cross a section. Which was really devastated by Hurricane Irene, that was really cool to see just how much force and destruction mother nature can do.

Most of the trail was pretty easy going and well maintained, although there was sections that had downed trees and a lot of rocks!

The falls where really cool once we got there.

We also saw a baby Owl on the way out of the trail. It must have fallen out of its nest. We got told about the Owl on the way in but we must have walked right past it.
