Camping on Burton Island

We spent last weekend camping with the McKenna-Wasser family on Burton Island, Lake Champlain, Vermont. The trip was planned for Friday to Sunday. Friday was a magical day. We took Mike's boat over to the island and setup camp. The weather was perfect, so we took the kids tubing and wake surfing. We had a wonderful dinner. Saturday, we went fishing and water skiing. The kids caught plenty of fish to keep them smiling! The forecast for Saturday night and Sunday was all rain, so we packed up and headed to Stowe around 6pm. We enjoyed spending Sunday in Stowe, eating bagels, walking the quiet path with Boo and attending the Lamoille County Fair.

Surf Camp in Cocoa Beach

We spent the first two weeks of July in Florida with Mom and Paul's family. The kids attended surf camp for a week and had a blast. Helen and Sam learned to surf very quickly and at the end of the week were having incredible rides. The waves were small so Gianni decided to spend the week learning to do tricks; this earned him the award of "Most Creative Surfer" from the instructors. See photos of his antics.

Another Two Weeks in Nicaragua

We took a group of 7 to Granada, Nicaragua for two weeks. We studied Spanish at Casa Xalteva and went on many adventures. Hear the tales and see all the photos at casaxalteva09.blogspot.com.
