We had such a special time with the kids after Heather & Jon's reception. We were able to get special permission to go out of our mission boundary to attend the reception in Connecticut. It was so nice to finally meet Jon's mom and family. They really love Heather and seem very nice.
We had a wonderful dinner and great time. Heather & kids drove back to Vermont with us for a couple of days. Jon had to go back to GA. to work. We visited the Yankee Candle Factory, Santa's Workshop, longest covered bridge in Windsor, VT. & the JS Memorial on the way. Later that night, the Wilson's across the street, invited us all over to watch fireworks. On Monday ate breakfast at the Sugarhouse in Bethal than off to Woodstock and the Billings Farm. From there, we ate a picnic lunch at Quechee Gorge and took pictures of a few more covered bridges and watched a glass blower make wine glasses. Later, a walk to the river to dig up some fern for Heather to take home & a bike ride. A full day of activities.
Today, we got up early and drove to the Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory for a tour, and to the airport in Burlington for their departure at 1:30 pm. A nice time for all (I hope the kids had a good time, we sure enjoyed having them visit), our 1st visitors in Vermont!

And mom and dad you seem so happy on your mission...you are both just glowing and grinning from ear to ear!! What an awesome place to spend your 1.5 years....I honestly did not want to leave! Vermont is gorgous! I can say it is one of the most beautiful places on earth!! Thank you for the great adventure, mixed with a bit of history and culture!! Love, Heather and family
