Vermont
First stop, ECHO Aquarium in Burlington, VT. Nathan tried to "uncover" whale bones from the sand.
Ken checked out some fly larvae under the microscope.
A newt.
This turtle would swim up....and then down....up...down.
This turtle tried to bite Cressalyn's finger through the glass! We were grateful for the barrier!
I was concerned that this HUGE turtle was really alive! He wasn't moving, but must have been sleeping.
Ken was wishing for his fishing pole!
Cabot Creamery, Cabot, VT. We toured the factory and saw how they make cheese. We also were able to sample a lot of varieties! Note: the sweet hot mustard is REALLY good...but REALLY HOT! I know, why does a cheese factory have dips with pretzels? 
Ben & Jerry's was a highlight! Of course we got a free sample but not being a family favorite, we just HAD to purchase a pint for each of us! And a t-shirt! We hit it lucky in that they were doing renovations so the tour was free! (It's only $2 regularly!)
I love penguins and look what we saw outside of Ben & Jerry's!!!!!!!
On Saturday we visited Pizza Putt. They had games, indoor mini golf, lazer tag, batting cages, pizza and prizes! This was a great time of fun! Cressalyn began her preparation for softball this spring!
Our weekend was a good one. We were also able to take in the movie "Amazing Grace" on Friday night. We discovered that due to the limited theaters that the movie is showing, we were actually viewing the movie in the only theater to have it in the entire state! How cool is that?
By the way, the movie is wonderful! If you do have the chance to see it in the theater, please do. We try to support those movies in the theater that are worthy of our support. This one is!
One last thing. Nathan has been dealing with some physical issues that aren't going away. Please be in prayer for him and for us as we seek the appropriate medical treatment without over reacting. Ok, so that I do not over react. Ken is doing fine. He's such a man.
