The annual Merrill family reunion in Greensboro, Vermont over July 4th was fantastic as usual. Henry had a great time meeting his great grandparents, uncles, cousins, and so many other family members related through the widely branched Merrill family tree.
Days consisted of walking to visit with family, exploring Greensboro, eating lunches and dinners with 4 generations of Merrills, and relaxing afternoons by the lake. Scott and I enjoyed sunsets and lazy mornings on the dock at the A frame cabin built right on the lake shore by Scott's dad, brother and father so many years ago.

Of course the highlight of the week was the annual 4th of July parade full of antique cars, huge tractors, and unique "performances" by a local group called Bread and Puppet. Perhaps the photos will entice you to come next year!
Packing inefficiently on our first road trip with a baby challenged Scott's car packing abilities and made it hard for me to find the baby...
Counting down the days until July 4th 2011!
