This weekend was pretty amazing. Saturday morning Sar and I got up ultra early and headed to the Black Cap to meet Noelle. She overslept which led to many jokes and laughs. Luckily the rain had held up the launch and so we were actually able to watch them progressively take off into the slightly overcast skies over Stowe. It was amazing. We topped off the perfect morning with breakfast at the Green Goddess. Mmmmm. 
The day was low key at home with the pups, with the chickens enjoying their new coop. For dinner we made pizzas with our freshest CSA stuff. Love the Pete's pantry option. We got pizza crust, sauce and mozzarella all in the same share.
We loved the balloons so much, we woke up early again today to watch the balloons launch again. Even more spectacularly mind you. 20-25 balloons launched together, speckling the sky with blacks of color. Noelle, Sarah and I "chased" the balloons to the cow field up near Trapps and got some dynamite photos of balloons and cows.

We went back to Noelle's to wait for Pete to finish his run on the bike path and packed lunches (after we stopped for chips :)
Then we were off to Lake Willoughby. Neither Sarah nor I had ever been there, and although I was worried about having a long day, with summer school starting tomorrow, it was so worth it. The winds were high, the water was choppy, but the paddle was awesome. Picnic lunch and we headed home through beautiful green hills.
