This weekend we chose Mt. Mansfield, the highest mountain in Vermont, for an excursion. As you can see from the picture, Janeen and Greg and family were visiting. To put this in perspective, Mt. Mansfield is about 4, 322 feet—Mt. Rainier is 14, 000. Dad and I didn’t climb clear to the summit but the kids did—Millie and Chris in their flip flops! We were going to ride the gondola to the top but this place was reached by traveling 4 ½ miles up a windy, mountain road.
The view was spectacular! This is northern Vermont with Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks in the far distance. Look at the beautiful, huge, fluffy clouds we’ve been enjoying lately.

This is the rest of Vermont and New Hampshire.
We found this little chapel on the way down the mountain.
The kids (big and small) enjoyed the Alpine Slide at a big resort. You rode to the top in the ski lift.
On the way home, we drove through Smuggler’s Notch a rather windy road through the mountain which was used by smugglers transporting goods between Canada and the US.The Green Mountain State is a beautiful example of the “beauties of the earth”. Our work is going well and we are happy to be where we are. We have witnessed miracles in our lives and in our family’s lives. This is Vermont.
