Hi Kelli,
Many thanks for the article, it was nice to see the great pics you have chosen to share as well as find out more about Vermont and what it has to offer for the little ones.
I do agree with you on the point regarding the cup - bees, they are dead cute! In fact just stick some googly eyes on anything and it becomes endearing really!
