On the Right Coast

Seems like just a few days ago that we loaded Mia, Lyann and Vivian into the Pham Van (Hoa and Thuy borrowed my Lexus to attend a wedding in downtown Portland) and headed out to the drive-in with Nic's family for Toy Story 2. I haven't been to a drive-in for a while and needless to say, the crowd is interesting.


We stayed up way too late, and just a day later took the red eye to Vermont! On arrival in Windsor, we were shown to our new room at the Snapdragon Inn, and didn't have hot water for the first 6 days! But we will have this baby ready for the open house this Saturday, and it is actually kind of fun working the 12 hour days to get there!


It does get a bit overwhelming at times, but Paula is great about watching kids, cleaning and just making sure everyone is fed so they don't kill each other!

On Saturday the ladies took some time out to take the kids swimming. I took a few minutes to run by and take some pictures.


Princess Maddie and her famous dive!



Anders was really learning how to dive from Grandma, and was doing great!


Chris and Kenni are up from Virginia working while school is out. Zuri seems to be another tadpole just like the rest of them.




And of course as number three, Eddie thinks he is a big boy and is keeping right up with the others. This picture could have been Paula and Kevin, Chris, Nic or Nate just a few years ago.


Meanwhile, back on Main Street, Chris, Mike Cammock and Brig were trying to sort out why the mower was throwing sparks every time the blade was engaged.


It is looking good. The new walkway up to the porch is a great addition.


The rooms are already being used. Nursery? Sewing Room?



Stuff is arriving every day.


In the middle of it all, Nate is already booking rooms!


We really have enjoyed sleeping here. It feels really homey.


But there is much to do, so gotta get to it!





By the way, has anyone seen Lars?


See you in a few days when it really looks like an Inn!!!!
