Vermont Vacation Pt 1. of....a lot

Okay so this is my (oliver's) first part of this Vermont blog. Over the 2009 memorial 3 day weekend me and chris headed to the mts of Vermont with the family for a weekend of shred, antics, adventures, chins(?),Lynxs,cougers,deer,mullets rad dads, fires, fireworks, bb guns and fun.

Me chris and my dad drove up friday night, the temp went from 85 at home to about 55 on top of the mt. Chris was pumped to be the first picture for the blog
The next morning we awoke nice and early and headed to the Barre town skatepark.
Chris gets radikal with some wild untamed mts in the background.
A Nice blue Vermont wave..
So after Barre park we went to the capital of vermont wich is 30 min North of our camp, Monpelier, The had this 10 ft. vert wall that was super sketchy. Chris was going to Andy Mac the shit outa this till he realized it was not worth it.
Montpelier park..
Front rock on the sketchiest quarter pipe in the north east. Note the "America" Tag in the back ground, Hell yeah
everybody got their skate on..
I took this picture for the Levitate crew, even in Vermont there is a surf able wave..
We finished up skating and went to montpelier wear chris got this awsome green cap, we walked around and bought some records and scoped the vt lifestyle. then we headed off bowling(see posts to come for pics) I bowled a 157 wich I was pumped on, yay me, after a few games at the nicest bowling alley ever( soory mike) we headed back to camp to chill. We came back to find my aunt and uncle grillen and chillen with the family up on the mt. 
Chris had a TERIBBLE sun burn from a trip to wellfleet a few days befor our trip up north. his sunburn itched and burnt soooo bad but we couldnt find a cure, my dad and uncle took him down to the brook at the bottom of our land and put him in the cold water for 15 min. Problem solved thier cure worked perfect and the sunburn was gone
Our choice of activity while not skating was games, Connect four the game of choice, however we played trouble, boggle, and 100 different card games as well
The next day we went to Montpelier again with my sister and her friend and then again went bowling, (see posts to come). we then headed to my aunt and uncles for a cookout, Chris and I played a few games of horse shoes with my dad and uncle then decided to go hike wrights mt, and the devils den. a short 30 min hike.
We payed close attention to the warnings ...
Wrights mt. one of a kind family fun..
It was starting to get dark because we started hiking at dusk, needless to say things got spoooky.
Once we got to the top we saw a nice sunset over the green mts.
This shelter was built at the top of the mt. it overlooks a 100ft cliff and you can see all the way to new hampshire and wayyyyyyyyy the hell up into northern vermont.
chris enjoyed the view..
we got ready to head back down since it was starting to get dark, lenny led the way home.
chris thought since he had a chest hair he was manly, he then thot a manly thing to do was burn it off. horns for life.
my aunt used to have a bakery so she makes reeeaaaaallllyyyyy good deserts. we ate so much food.. chris got his snack on in between card games.

The next day we skated the Barre park again and then headed home. keep checking back for more photos and stories from the trip
