Wendy and the Pig
Okay so of course I have the whole pig thing going on, but in defence of who knows what, I wasn't the only person posing by the pig. During the course of the evening there was a constant stream of people posing with the pig!
Camping in the Green Mountains
Here are some pictures of our adventures at Gifford State Park in Killington, Vermont. Mom, Dad, Suzanne, Matthew, Isaac, Joseph, Thomas, Ken and I all stayed in Vermont in August. Mom and Dad and all the Bates stayed at a hotel and Ken and I camped a few miles away. The green mountains are so beautiful. I'm kind of wishing I was there now to see the fall colours!
Our trip to Vermont included visiting Sharon - the birth place of Joseph Smith, the Ben & Jerry factory, hanging out with the fam and procuring some wonderful mustard and a Vermont pig.

Visiting Mount Royal Cemetery - Montreal, Quebec
On our way home from Vermont, Ken and I travelled north to Montreal to stay with friends. We were only there over night, which isn't much time to visit friends and do some sight-seeing. I decided that the only thing I really wanted to see in Montreal was Nana's grave. I had a vague recollection of the grave from the funeral but I wanted to go again and take some pictures. Mount Royal is the hill (mountain?) in the middle of Montreal. The Mount Royal cemetery covers at least half of the hill, if not more. It really is a beautiful cemetery. Below are the four pictures that I took at the cemetery.
The first picture is of the view when you're standing at the grave site. There are no graves behind the Chadwick family plot, it sits next to the boundary and there is a fence right behind the plot. It is probably one of the highest points in the cemetery. I was standing beside the plot looking down the hill.
The second picture is of the hedge surrounding the area where Nana is buried. I took this picture because I wanted to remember that the section where Nana is buried is it's own private little part of the cemetery surrounded on all four sides by a hedge.
The third picture is of the headstone. I thought it was interesting that there is a masonic symbol engraved on it. I had no idea that Bill was a mason. I also thought it was interesting that although there were markers for Bill's first wife and Nana, there was yet no marker for him.
The last picture is of the marker for Nana.
