July 5 - Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy birthday to Dad! 77 years young. We love you!

More from yesterday, below. As the day progressed, I, the only vegetarian, worked the grill.



Liam and Jonah feeding ducks.



The cousins enjoying a moment on the lawn.



Then an amazing sunset happened. Beautiful....








Then.... my camera died right when I was going to make a video of the fireworks. So, that won't be a feature.

See below. From today, we made a trip up to a place here we go cliff diving every year (videos to follow).

Some things of note....

A car dealer out in the middle of nowhere has this gorilla thing. Great! Hilarious...



A one-lane bridge. Don't see many of these in the US anymore.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the light which controls the traffic came decades after the bridge itself.



The Lord's Prayer on a rock on the edge of the road.



A very small town up in the mountains. This may not seem extraordinary until you get to know the US better and realize that town after town has an "old downtown" that is decimated and boarded up and "now Wal Mart runs everything in town". And then there is this.... truly exceptional. What a great state Vermont is. We will miss coming here every summer.
