Our Third Day

We got up and had breakfast with Aunt Fun, we ate Raisin Bran and bananas.  We went to camp and after dropping of Sabra (she goes first) I got to see Canadian Geese in Lake Champlain.  We swam in the lake last night.  

Canadian Geese, we saw so many of them! 

Chloe, this is Hazel talking.  The maple sugar house is where they make maple syrup and it is a wooden house in the woods.  I keep my stuff there when I am not in my camp and we are in the woods.  Do you know what a sit spot is?  We have one to look at nature.  I saw all kinds of trees.  Today we made raspberry jam and mixed it with honey.  It was good.  We cooked beets on a fire.  I did not like the taste.  

From Sabra: we went in to groups today and it was hot outside.  I jumped in the lake.  We spent time in the garden and learned about vegetables.  I got to ride in a wagon.  We collected things on the beach and I found a salamander.  I named it Caramel.  He will always stay at Shelburne Farms.  It was a really fun day.  I like camp a lot.  The kids are really nice.

Sarah wants to go to camp, too.  We told her she had to be six or ten to go to camp so we named her Donut and made her six years old.  It was all pretend.  She did not really get to go to camp.  Her name really is Aunt Fun.  But we laughed about calling her Aunt Donut.  She said "I do nut know how you came up with that name!"  

After camp we met Karen, Allen, and Katie and saw the movie The Secret Life of Pets.  We think Aunt Nancy would like it.  It is all about what pets do when their owners are away from home.  It is a cartoon.  

Sarah made shrimp casserole for dinner.  It wasn't very good, even she said it wasn't very good so it is okay for us to write that.  We had oreos for snacks.  Aunt Fun says we eat them the same way she did when she was little.  

We read books with the name Nancy in them tonight.  We are going to bed early.  We will write more tomorrow. 

Love Sabra and HAZEL 

Eating Oreos!

Fancy Nancy and Nancy Drew! 

Day Two in Vermont from Hazel and Sabra

We woke up and got dressed.  We laid out our clothes last night.  We had Mickey Mouse pancakes with real Vermont maple syrup for breakfast.  

We were VERY excited to go to Shelburne Farms to camp.  That is the whole reason we came to Vermont.  Sabra goes to Farm and Fields camp.  Hazel (me) goes to Adventure camps.  Sabra gets dropped off first and then I get dropped off.  We saw our friend Danny and her son, Sam.  Sam goes to camp with me (Hazel).

Aunt Fun picked us up at the end of camp.  Our best things were this:  Sabra: going to the beach at Shelburne Farms and finding sea glass and looking at the farm garden.  I made some new friends, too.  Hazel: seeing a maple sugar house, eating 100 raspberries and seeing Sam.  We were outside all day long.  Shelburne Farms is really beautiful.  

Sabra at pick up time!

Thumb's Up after a day at camp!

After camp we went to the Teddy Bear Factory to show Snowy and Brownie were they were born.  We saw Katie Serrell.  

We then went to Shelburne Beach for a picnic dinner and Sarah taught us how to skip rocks.  Sabra skipped four times and Hazel (me) skipped three times.  We swam in Lake Champlain.  The water is not deep.  We ate a picnic and then came home and had oreos for a snack.  Sarah showed us her favorite TV show, Andy Griffith.  We are watching it now.  We are very excited to go back to camp tomorrow.

They truly had a BLAST at camp today.  They LOVED it and tomorrow sounds like another great day, too.  

We are watching Andy Griffith, I did not want to watch Cartoon Network and we're about to go to bed.  I'm exhausted, but still need to do a little laundry, too.  

LOVE TO ALL, -Sarah

Our first day in Vermont!

We woke up in Arlington and Mama and Daddy took us to the airport.  We said good bye and flew to Vermont on American Airlines.  We sat in row 11 in seats A, C, and D.  We got pretzels and water.  When we got to Vermont, Hazel's suitcase was the first one off the plane.  We saw a blue cow in the Burlington airport.  It wasn't real. 

We had lunch at Aunt Fun's house, we had chicken and vegetables in a stir fry.  It was very delicious. Then we went to the book store, they had a Scholastic Book Mobile.  We met Clifford the Big Red Dog and got our picture taken with him.  We won some free prizes to make coloring pictures and tattoos.  

One of the prizes we got was a tattoo of Captain Underpants, I (Hazel) put it on Aunt Fun.  We then went to an ice cream shop.  Karen and Allen came with us, too.  We met an author and Aunt Fun bought us her book, she signed her name and wrote our names in the book.  We will read the book before we go to sleep tonight. 

Karen gave me (Hazel) a book called Socks.  Socks is a cat and it is sort of like Sox, Aunt Fun's cats.  We sampled a lot of flavors, we made good choices.  We would like to go there again.  We went grocery shopping.  Aunt Fun got us food for camp lunches.  

We visited Dues' brick at the military memorial.  He knew about Sabra but he did not know about me (Hazel).  He was in heaven when I (Hazel) was born.  

 We had hot dogs and vegetables for dinner.  We then got our backpacks ready for camp.  We took a bath and washed our hair.  Aunt Fun got the tangles out of our hair really well, it did not hurt.  We this the best things today were the ice cream, seeing the brick for Dues, and Clifford.

We are going to sleep in the big bed with Aunt Fun.  We will write more tomorrow.

Love, Sabra and Hazel
