We didn't really do much to celebrate our 100th day in Canada accept to acknowledge it and then also acknowledge that we are coming home exactly 3 weeks from today! We were roasting here today - 91 degrees! I don't think it would feel so hot accept for the fact that we only have air conditioning in two rooms of our apartment.
Now...back to Stowe, VT. On our second day, we traveled to the Trapp Family Lodge. Maria Von Trapp is actually buried somewhere on the property. We never quite figured out what the Von Trapp's had to do with the lodge...either visited frequently - or possibly built the first lodge once they fled Austria and moved to America. Whatever the history, it was impossible not to walk around the grounds and sing "The hills are alive....". So, we sang all morning long. At one point, I had the girls singing and twirling...but then the twirling reminded Maggie too much of "Ring Around the Rosie" and so my vision of the activity was quickly changed to a toddler's vision. It was still cute. There were beautiful sloping fields surrounded by mountains on all sides. There were only a few areas that we could explore without being a guest. Maggie had fun rearranging all the rocks she could find. Carly enjoyed dancing in the fields and pretending to be an explorer. It would be a great place to stay if we ever visit this area again.
