I wanted to make this post mostly just to share some of the photos taken yesterday! But some quick background info:
- I've known Sid since Middle School, but really started hanging out with him more in High School.
- We lost touch for a bit, but recently caught up and have stayed in touch starting about a year or two ago
- Sid lives in another state, and so we haven't seen each other in person in roughly 10 years at this point
- Side note, one of my favorite photos ever was taken I think the last time we saw each other (he's pictured with my friend Mat here):

This trip he's up visiting family, and one of them happens to live here in Vermont. While he was here, he reached out seeing if I'd like to join him and his family for a Butter Fest (picture below) held at Cloud Water Farm in Warren, VT, and then maybe grab some dinner. I thought the'd be a lot of fun, so we met up! He also had his significant other Claire with him, who I got to meet!
Almost all of the photos below are taken with the Camp Snap Camera I've spoken about before.

Here you can see Sid without his shirt, with his parents laying on the blanket. I used to love hanging out at their house, so it was great getting to see most of his family again too!



Sid recently got the camera there (I think a Lumix G7) and Gimbal, and so was doing a lot of tests with it this trip.


After the Butter Fest, we picked up takeout and all ate together in Winooski. Fun fact, Michelle and my first date was at the Board Game Cafe right across the river from here!

Fun fact: The sweater Michelle is wearing I've had since Middle School (2011) and still fits (albeit, a bit tight on me now). I usually keep it in my car as a spare. Picture of me when I first got the sweater below:
