Halloween with The Smarties

This camera-happy Dad has been shirking his duties of late, and despite a really fun trick-or-treating adventure, we neglected any Kodak moments for the good ol'fashioned "in the moment" moments. Luckily Shannon was captivated by the cuties and emailed us some reall good pix.

Evvie came up with what I believe to be her first official pun today. In honor of her barnyard costume, she thought we should knock on doors and, rather than say "trick or treat", we should say "chicky or treaty". It makes a Dad proud.

Here's "Miss Demure" pretending to be shy. Did you notice that it's all boys in her "Smarties" class today? We suspect she's just being coy because it drives the boys crazy.

Fall Smith Visit

A three day sleepover- what fun! We had a cozy camping expedition in our little ranch house over the long weekend, chock full of good times!

Evvie was on her most dainty and demure behavior while entertaining Ruby and Griffin.

Was it too cold to wade around in the tidepools and inlets around Five Islands and Reid State Park?

NO WAY!

Another beautiful day, another beach trip to the other penninsula- this time to fort Popham and vicinity. The fort and ocean are old hat to Evelyn, so she showed Griffin & Ruby every nook and cranny of the structure.


And a little later, Ruby started hovering in the air. (I still can't figure out how she did that!)

It was a wonderfully weathered weekend with glee and giggles galore! Come down from the deeply wooded mountains any time, Smiths!

Shannon took photos of all the "Smarties" for picture packages. Here are some of the highlights:
