Our Weekend in the Berkshires...

We went to the Berkshires in MA for a weekend in August. We had a great time just hanging out at the resort mostly. Rick, Pete, and PaPa played a little golf as well. We were joined also by Aunt Marie and Aunt Eleanor from NY. It was wonderful getting to spend some time with these two! Unfortunately I'm not very good I guess in capturing all the memories on camera, because I do not have one picture of the Aunts.
This is Matt jumping on the giant trampoline. He was even able to do some flips once he got going! There were other activities at the resort as well. We did an Alpine Slide, Rollercoaster, jumpy house (Faith only), and the spider web (Pauline and Matt).
Here's Matt by the "electric windmill" (as he informed me, smart little thing he is!) It's call the Zephyr and it's the only privately owned windmill in the US. It produces 100% of the energy needed for the summer activities at the resort, and 33% year round. We took a ski lift to the top of this peak and then hiked over to this lookout location. It was really amazing! Below are pics of us on the ride up, at the summit, and the view going down.




Here's a few of the kids enjoying the hot tub. (Toes only of course!)

And last but not least, my little peanut spit and all!
