Woodstock Wassail

We spent a day in Woodstock, VT for their annual Wassail Weekend.  Traditionally, a horse parade would ride through town in the night, and people would light the candles in their windows as they rode by.  Now they have a horse parade in town during the day.  The whole town celebrates with caroling, concerts, kids activities, craft fairs.  It was great fun.  Woodstock is a great town.

The woods are thick in VT.  You have to hike a good distance, or know where to go to get a good view.  This is the best we got on this particular hike, 2 miles up.  I do love the woods.

Ethan showing his excitement for Leif.

We had to take Leif to the tractor parade (in October).  He loves his tractors and trains and often takes them to bed with him.  He was very excited to see all of the old tractors.
