We are home ... we spent nine days in Vt skiing. The beginning of the week there wasn't much snow but Tues we got 6 inches so most of the mountain was open. I love when the trees are covered with a new dusting of snow.
We are renting a condo for the season at the base of Magic Mountain. This is the view from our window. We literally ski out the door which makes life very easy!!
Here are my two boys riding the chair ...

My younger son decided to take up snowboarding for the week. He picked it up quickly and had a great time.
We did take a few breaks to visit Manchester and Weston. The Orvis store in Manchester has a great pond area full of HUGE trout that the kids can feed.
My kids favorite place of all is the Vermont Country Store. They of course love the candy section and the vintage soda bottles (they actually sell TAB). If you have never been there, it's the most amazing place. You can pretty much find anything you have ever wanted or needed including vintage toys, old fashioned lotions & creams, clothing, housewares, everything!!
Thanks for visiting ...

Hi Jennifer, it looks like a great family vacation. I just cant imagine all that snow. Its been in the 70's here. :) The country store is so cute! I love all of your new Easter stuff on the post below too. Just adorable.
I hope you have a great week, (())gail
What a wonderful trip you had and looks like you had a lot of fun. Love the store I can understand why it would be a favourite haunt.
Thank you for sharing.
So glad you had fun on your trip. We were to Vermont once & we went to Lake Champlain & Burlington. We crossed over to Fort Ticonderoga in NY & we had a ball. We were there in the summer & it was beautiful!!
Have a Great Week!
Love,

I did not know you are in CT...nice photos ,I remember the country store they are still in business..Wow!
Oh wow, that is a breathtaking view! I like how country houses just seem to easily meld in with the environment . The siding, roofing, and even the furnishings all scream the mountainside! And who can resist candies!?
