Vermont Leaf Peeping

We started off our New England Fall experience right by taking a trip to Vermont. Since it's north and much colder than Connecticut, the leafs are at their peak colors a couple weeks earlier there. LDS General Conference weekend ended up being the perfect time to go and we met up with the Cooks who have been doing this Vermont leaf-peeping trip for years now...

We left on Friday around lunch time and arrived a few hours later in Woodstock, VT at the Billings Farm.


The next day we headed to Stowe and while the weather forecast showed rain, we were so glad there was not a single drop all day, and it even got beautifully sunny in the afternoon!

First stop was Ben & Jerry's Factory, then off to the cider mill!

Jackson had so much fun playing with Bryson & Eliza!


We drove around a bit in the afternoon while Abbie napped and then stopped at this beautiful barn and played in the grass for an hour at least. We were just basking in the sunlight that had finally peeked through and just taking it all in.





It was such a great trip and the pictures don't even do it justice (cliche i know) We had a great trip tagging along with the Cooks as they showed us all the places to see. Now we're ready for our family or friends to come for a trip next fall :)
