Every kid dreams of getting a "Vermonster" from the Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory in Waterbury, Vermont. This was the day Kjersti's dream came true. What is a "Vermonster" you might ask? It is a bucket-o-goodness that includes 20 of your favorite scoops of Ben & Jerry's ice cream along with a broad assortment of other delightful toppings. Soooooooooooo tasty. This was one of the highlights of our recent trip to Smugglers Notch, VT. 
With a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye, Kjersti milked Eli for all he was worth at the Cabot Cheese Annex. I don't think Eli ever did figure out what was going on under that stool.
After pushing the stroller mile after mile along the Stowe, VT bike path, Cody figured he would let gravity take a turn. As it turns out the kids preferred gravity. Check out the video!
Here we are ascending Mount Mansfield. At 4,393 ft, it is Vermont's highest peak. Thanks in large part to a road that goes nearly to the top, the summit is accessable even to a group of "extreme" hikers like us. One extreme hiker attempted hiking with his eyes closed. That hiker can be seen here in Cody's arms moments before attempting his wild stunt.
We all got to enjoy our trip, especially Kjersti, with Elaine, Heidi's mother. In Sharon, VT, we visited the site of the Prophet Joseph Smith's birthplace. It was a wonderful tribute to the first Prophet of our dispensation!
We really enjoyed the week we spent in Vermont. It was a great experience!
