The last few weeks have been all about enjoying summer. Ada made her first trip to Vermont over the Fourth of July when we visited Manchester for a friend’s wedding. Fortunately, she was asleep by the time the fireworks started!

During the week we were deluged by a severe storm that struck the local area. Over 8 inches of rain fell in less than 5 hours and much of the school sustained severe water damage. There were inches of hail on the ground and the roads were blocked with water. (link here to local news report.)

We just got back from the Maine coast where we spent time car camping with Kara’s parents. With the exception of one rainy night, the weather was picture perfect. Ada slept much better on this camping trip and seemed less afraid of the ocean.

All in all, the summer is going well and we, as well as Ada, are enjoying all of the time outside!
