Silly Cousins

Here are my adorable nieces being super silly at Chloe's house in Brownington, VT. Chloe (2 1/2 years old) adores Ivy (almost 5). Ivy wanted to go home after we'd been at Chloe's house for an hour but I managed to convince her to at least hang out long enough to have lunch with Wendy and Chloe. After pizza in West Glover and a short stop at Wendy's favorite place in the entire Northeast Kingdom, Red Sky Trading Post in Glover, VT, Ivy asked if we could go home yet (Grandma & Grandpa's house for the day) but I successfully managed to distract her a while longer at Wendy & Chloe's house with a super cool trike. We headed back to the Northern Chicken Ranch in East Burke around 4pm. Just in time for Pete to get home from work!

After a nice walk down to the East Branch of the Passumpsic River and a short lesson in skipping rocks (I'm still bad at it...), we headed back to the house. Just when we were walking out of the woods and across the field back to the house who should we run into but Ivy's good friend, Aiden, who's 7 and lives in the house next to Grandma & Grandpa. Ivy and Aiden had a nice 1/2 to play dolls together right before dinner.

Ivy and I were "two peas in a pod" today, except when her Dad or Grandma were around, but what Auntie could possibly hope to compete with that???
