Grandma took us to the kids science museum in Vermont. I’ve been a couple of times before, but it’s always a good time!

MONTSHIRE MUSEUM
I spent the afternoon at the Montshire Museum of Science, where I’ve been once before. But this time, I did all new things.
I got to make a bubble wall…
…and a bubble dome.
I watched air bubbles float up through liquids of different viscosity.
And slid pennies down this huge funnel.
I got to put my hand through fog…
…and put balls through this maze of air tunnels!
KING ARTHUR FLOUR
A place I requested we go to was King Arthur Flour in Vermont. It’s tradition!
It’s not Thanksgiving yet, but they were already set up for Christmas.
CROSSING THE CONNECTICUT RIVER
We crossed over to Vermont to visit the Montshire Museum of Science on a rainy day.
My favorite things there were the spinning table…
…a ball floating on a gust of air…
…and the elevator, of course.
Then we headed back to New Hampshire to visit Left Bank Books, just as we do every year. My favorite part was the stairs.
SEE YA NEXT YEAR, NEW HAMPSHIRE
Yesterday was our last day in New Hampshire before we set off for New York.
My favorite part of the day was flying the gliders Grandpa got me!
We also went to King Arthur Flour where I turned wheat berries into flour. That was also super fun. I now want a mill.
Then we went to a bookstore that had a cool little tiny house outside. I had fun, New Hampshire!
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION
In the morning, Grandma and Grandpa’s friends, Gene and Maureen, came by to say “hi.” I showed them my cars and the new contraption Uncle Mike and I were working on (a catapult!).
Then we went to a restaurant in White River Junction, VT to officially celebrate Grandma and Grandpa’s 50th wedding anniversary. And after, we got to see a train leave the station!
SUGARBUSH FARM
We visited Sugarbush Farm yesterday in Woodstock, VT. Everyone else enjoyed the animals, and the cheese and maple syrup tasting, but I was pretty unimpressed…until I found the sandbox with trucks!
Afterwards, we went for ice cream (I ordered the “baby” size, which was about the size of an actual 6 pound baby) and I made Tinkertoy contraptions with Uncle Mike. Then it was time to wind down with some good ol’ reliable Tayo videos on Mommy’s phone. A fun day!
NEW HAMPSHIRE, DAY 4
Yesterday was our last day in New Hampshire. It rained in the morning, so I stayed in and played with Duplo blocks and my cars. Then we went to King Arthur Flour, where I tried (and am pretty sure I liked) a maple flavored lollipop. Then I went to Left Bank Books on the Dartmouth campus where I immediately found their stash of cars!
Bye, New Hampshire! Bye, Grandma and Grandpa!
KING ARTHUR FLOUR
We crossed the river into Vermont to go to King Arthur Flour, where everyone ate delicious sandwiches and salads, except for me (I had a delectable oatmeal and butternut squash number prepared by mother). We also visited the store attached to the restaurant that made everyone want to become bakers.
Afterward, we went back to New Hampshire near the Dartmouth campus. While mom, dad, Uncle Mike and Auntie Sarah browsed Left Bank Books, Grandma and Grandpa hung out with me outside to watch the people wander by.
