Spring Break 2013 (part 1)

A couple of weeks ago, our family had the opportunity to go visit dear friends in New Hampshire, for our week of spring break.  We had many fun times together, and just enjoyed being in their home.  We did as many "New England-y" activities as possible. It was a great week.

We drove through beautiful Vermont.  The roads were quite windy and hilly, and Simon soon got car-sick and threw-up.  I (Debby) was not far behind:(  So Bill pulled into the first little stop we could find, and it looked like a small convenience store.  We soon found out it wasn't.  It was a little ma + pa maple syrup business.

We watched the syrup being boiled down...

...and then got to taste the light amber syrup they were making that day.  YUM!

On to New Hampshire!  Having lived in Florida for 19 years, the mountains were just beautiful to see.

We all got to try our hand at target practice.

..and looks like someone found a friend:)

Ethan helped Miss Andrea make one of our favorites, pao de queijo, to go with our Brazilian-style rice and beans.  Also YUM!!

                                      Do YOU think she made enough??
