Ben and Annie, our awesome friends who live down the street from us, invited us to join them for some kayaking.

Seriously, it’s been pouring rain here the month of June, so anytime it’s sunny, you have to take advantage of it RIGHT AWAY!

Ben and Rick were the first out on the water.  Lake Champlain is so beautiful.

Then the women had a turn!  Can you believe Annie gave birth less than 2 weeks ago!?

She really knows how to push it to the limit!

This is pretty much what happened when Rick and I hit the water! Typical!

While we were out on the water, Rick said, “Wow, Burlington is really a very pretty town,”  as we could see churches poke their white steeples skywards, through the blankets of green trees.

It’s so charming here. I will be sad to leave. Sort of.

Not really.

(You can only handle -18 degree temps in the winter for so long before you go into a depression.)

From the lake, Burlington looks so beautiful and incredible.

Ben and Annie, thanks for the great time!  You guys are a blast.

So, I took my cutting sheers to my head last week.  Like, not only one day, but 4 days in a row.

I kept cutting.

And cutting.

And cutting.

Rick would come home and see a pile of cut hair in the bathroom trash.  “Babe, seriously, you cut MORE today?!”

“Dood, FREE HAIRCUT!”

It’s a crap shoot to get your hair done in Vermont. They charge you to blow dry your hair.

So, you can’t really avoid getting your hair dried, because there is some dry cutting that happens too.

So frustrating!  Whose idea was it to charge to blow dry your clients hair?!

I was going for an 80’s Shag. A little rocker do.

Any thoughts?

(I’ve always adored Farrah Fawcett, to say the least…what a hair inspiration she was!  No, seriously.)

WORD!

This is how it WAS:

ACK!
