So the last weekend of June the future Mr. and Mrs. Boschen (haha) came up from Richmond and stopped through Montpelier on their way to Maine. They got here at hmmm was it like 7:40am Friday June 29th after driving all night. I was happy to sleep a few extra hours after they arrived. I think we tried to fit just about anything you can do in to about 4 days. We got up Friday went to the grocery store, had lunch, and then hit the Ben & Jerry's factory in Waterbury. Went on the tour had free samples and got ice cream. Came back and walked their dog Preston, then down to Shelburne for Wilco. Amazing concert. Great vibe in the whole place with people of all ages enjoying the show and hanging out. Jeff Tweedy of Wilco even commented about how cool it was that there were so many kids there. I'll get some good photos of Wilco in here shortly.
Parking at Shelburne was nothing short of a disaster but it was still a good time just hanging out in the car bullshitting and bitching about traffic and how idiotic some drivers are. We got back that night and Amelia and I decided we'd be funguys. Nothing short of an adventure there as usual. I gotta say I haven't laughed that hard in a long long time and Most Extreme Elimination Challenge is some funny funny stuff.
Saturday we hit the farmer's market first thing in the morning and then did a little wander around Montpelier. Good times. Then in to the car and down to Mom and Dad's to hang on the lake and go for a boat ride. Great day for a boat ride as it was gorgeous outside. Usaj's were around too so we all had dinner together at Mom and Dad's. Played some games and then actually made it to bed pretty early.
Sunday we hung out with Mom and Dad after a good breakfast and took it easy. No real hurry to get back on the road and over to Montpelier until later that night. So we just read and sat around and talked. On the way home I decided I'd take them over the Appalachian Gap which goes by Mad River Glen. It's quite windy and steep and Amelia wasn't very pleased with how I ran it like a race course. Sorry Amelia.
We got back in time to hang out for a bit and then headed down to Burlington area to see Bob Dylan at the Champlain Valley Expo. Great show once again. Dylan was better than I anticipated and it was my first time seeing him. However, I'd heard some not so positive reviews from other folks who'd seen him recently. Good times. Got back here Sunday night and just vegged for awhile.
Monday we got up and went up in to the park and hiked up to the tower. Normal for me but it's a nice view and you get a good idea of the surroundings which is fun for visitors. So we got back to my apartment and headed down to NECI to get lunch. They were closed sadly so we went to Sarducci's instead. Had an excellent lunch and a great talk about wedding plans.
Excellent visit and thank you so much Boz and Amelia for coming!!

Here we go...
It's looking a little crowded in that nest.
It was June when I last posted so we'll start there. I was home June 24th and we went to the Great Blue Heron rookery, located in Gull Bay. Gull Bay of course being Putnam where the beach is, the boat is, and Usaj's camp. Lake George truly is an amazing place.
The realization that in the next few days you will have to jump.
I just thought this picture might be cool so I took it. I gotta say I like it...
Plus you kind of get an idea of how many nests there are actually are.
