King of the Hill

Saturday is errand day. Each week, we make the trek into Burlington or St. Albans and spend the day filling up on gas, restocking groceries, getting haircuts, eating lunch at a restaurant, grabbing tools or materials for house projects, buying clothes or shoes, going to the movies... pretty much anything that requires you to be near civilization.

It's a long day, so we tend to stick something fun in the middle, like a trip to ECHO, or a movie. This week, we saw The Spiderwick Chronicles. I'm hoping that the next errand day will have a trip to a sugaring farm in it -- it's the 7th Annual Maple Open House Weekend. Mmmm, syrup!



Trevor climbed every snow & gravel mountain in the Shaw's parking lot post-haircut, post-movie, pre-groceries. This pile was over 20-feet high and made me a little nervous. A random male shopper, celebrating the feat of scrambling up this slippery thing, yelled out to Trevor, "King of the hill!" I bet he wanted to climb up there too.
