Leaf Fun

Yup, fall is here.

Rakes, crunchy leaves, crisp air and sunshine.

So much fun...

...and cuteness

Upside Downers

Pretty Kitties

Giant Steps

We headed for a stroll down on Bailey Island on the "Giant Steps"

Peek!

Peek!



Never did get a shot of the Giant Steps. Funny how distracting kids can be. It was a beautiful day at the shore, nonetheless.
If you're dying to see what they look like, click here.

Shoulder-rides back to the car proved to be lots of laughs..and work.

Organic Carrots

Well, we didn't make it to the Common Ground Fair this year, but couple of my generous students offered this organic carrot as a souvenir of their visit.


We discovered at the farmer's market this summer that carrots are MUCH more fun to eat when there's the leaf attached.

(Isn't that the carrot top? Yet we call people with red hair "carrot top". Hmmmm).

Hipsters

They've got the look. Perhaps a brother-sister rock band is in their future?

Floor Scoots

Just a little fun on the floor...

Another Beach Cookout

Not willing to let go of summer, we headed back to Reid with Grammie & Grampa Prince for another beach day and cookout. Evvie climbed the rocks a lot, and this time the clear visibility gave us quite a view.


We clowned on the beach for awhile, then headed back to our favorite spot to grill more corn, weenies, garlic bread and burgers..













Evelyn took a major digger onto an unforgiving rock to nearly cut our dinner off before it began. She's got a golf-ball sized welt, but a positive attitude. Maybe I'll post pics, but right now they just seem sensational. I prefer this quiet and pensive photo instead:

Last Summer Hurrah

We had a nice afternoon and dinner cookout down at Reid State Park to mark the end of the relaxing season as school gears up again and daycare/ preschool logistics again slurp any lazy aimlessness from our lives.

The rosehips are out, but a little bit seedy. Right, Evvie?


It was a great foggy afternoon for the beach.






As the afternoon wore on, it was time to fire up the grill and get the corn and dogs on. Levi offered a helping hand.
