Shelburne Farm is the historic "model agricultural estate" of the Vanderbilt Family located on Lake Champlain.  It's now a beautiful teaching farm for kids.

Theo had a bad bike accident the other day.  He scraped up his chin, cheek, nose, and chest.  He is fine now!

First Swim Meet

On the blocks:

Theo was the only 5 year old boy who competed. The other 5 year olds got too overwhelmed by all the noise and hubbub. Theo did one lap of freestyle and came in second in his heat (it was just him and two 6 year olds). We are so proud of him for doing his first race after just one week of being on swim team!!
