Smoked Gouda anyone???

This cheese factory borders our neighborhood, the big white tanks are full of milk, but I guess with all the smoke of who knows what burning, they evacuated our neighborhood to be safe. 11pm a fireman knocked on the door and told us we were being evacuated, so we loaded the kids into the car and went to Gail & Paul's for the night. Tyler was a little confused... "We're going to Nanny and Poppy's house"..."Oh, we haven't seen them in a while...that was a short nap...hey! It's really dark outside...Hey Daddy, did you see those fire-trucks over there? Where are we going? Can I have some goldfish?"

Tyler loves sprinkles

Street Rods

Sunday I took Tyler to the Street Rod show at the fairgrounds. I wasn't sure if he would be mad because he couldn't sit in them and climb around, but he was very good and excited just to see them... I can't tell you how many time he said "Look at this one Daddy... I should buy one of those". Not kidding. I didn't know if he meant buy a little matchbox version, or the real car. His favorites were the ones with the flames. Anything with flames he would run over to all excited... "I like this one Daddy". Unfortunately my camera battery died before I got to the show winners and some of the coolest ones, but I got some good ones just the same.

ChrisFieldsend.blogspot.com turns 500!!!!!

This entry marks the 500th post on our blog! Yup...crazy huh? It's hard to believe, I know. Thanks to everybody for visiting and leaving such nice comments over the past few years. We don't see all of our friends and family nearly as much as we'd like, but with this website we aim to keep you all close and up to date.

Take a few minutes and look back in the "archives"... I have to say, it's amazing how much Tyler has done in just 2.5 years!

Here are a bunch of pictures from the past few weeks

I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July. We sure did.. we walked up the street and watched the Hinesburg parade with a bunch of friends, and had a cookout in the evening...which was really fun except when I sliced my finger open trying to open a package of hot dogs... but other than that, the day was a success. We watched the fireworks from our backyard. Katie really out-did herself, and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. We have a lot of food left over, including beer, so if anyone is interested in having another cookout, let me know. I've got enough stuff.

On Saturday we went for a little hike in the woods in Williston and then headed to Gail and Paul's for the night so we could take the kids to Clark's Trading Post the next day (they live in Peacham, VT, about 45 minutes from Lincoln). Tyler loved the train ride, and the ice-cream... I'm not sure he was too impressed with the bear show but come to think of it, how is he supposed to know that it's not normal for a bear to ride a Segway?! I mean, he's never seen a bear before, so for all he knows they are supposed to play basketball and ride bikes. But I was impressed. His attention span was short, but he was having fun none-the-less. Sunday night I took him to the Vermont Lakemonsters (single A affiliate of the Wash. Natl's)... again, not too interested in the game for long, but loved to watch "Champ" the mascot doing flips and driving around on an ATV in between innings. We left after about an hour, but it was neat to take him to his first ballgame.
