Then I picked up Kerry and we headed to the Skirack to buy her equipment for snowboarding. She tried it a few times last year in CT, but now she is looking forward to the winter here in Vermont. I know it won't take her long to become really good at it!
Kerry and I headed to Middlebury after lunch and we walked around campus with Adam. It was a beautiful day. The picture above is really neat and symbolic. Adam and Kerry are in the foreground with their backs to me, while I am only seen as a smaller figure watching over them in the background. Adam is farther away from me than Kerry. As a mother, I am watching my children as they leave home and start their lives without me. I am still in their lives, but in a smaller role.
The Middlebury campus is really beautiful. It is adorned with interesting art and sculpture in addition to the magnificent architecture.
We wandered around campus then went into town to look around the shops.
Before heading to dinner, we went to listen to a talk by Adam's psychology professor about a book that she co-wrote about how modern technology has changed parent-child relationships in college years.
It was very interesting and was very well attended.
I had a wonderful day!
