Christmas Tree!

We spent this weekend selecting and decorating our new Christmas tree. We took a nice trip to the North Shore, got lost, and eventually found the Christmas tree farm we went to last year. It took us a while but eventually we found our tree. It looked reasonably sized at the farm, but needed to be shortened once we got it home in order to clear our ceiling. Now it's all decorated and looks great!

Soccer, Part 2

It's very important to warm up before playing soccer.

Fishin' with Poppy

Poppy took Ben fishing at the beach in Quonnie over Columbus Day. He loved it! No fish though.

Carousel

Ben really loves the carousel in Watch HIll, and Daniel can't wait to give it a try. Maybe next summer!

Ben, Soccer Player

Ben has joined a soccer team at the local Y. He's on the Cobras!

Ben is a robot

He designed the costume himself! Please note that the flashlight is a light-saber.

Maine Pt 3

More dock time...

Maine Pt. 2: The Dock

Well, I had meant to put up more pictures of our Maine vacation, and here they are. Other than mountain climbing, we spent much of our time relaxing on dock and enjoying the pond.

Maine: Mountain Climbing at Acadia

These are from our trip into Acadia National Park during our week in Maine. We climbed Gorham Mountain. It was a great hike and the peak provided panoramic views of dense fog. Ben is now a very enthusiastic mountain climber...he completed several fairly long and steep hikes all by himself.

At the beach

Ben and Daniel have been LOVING the beach. Ben likes digging and makeshift surfboards; Daniel likes eating sand and sticking his face in buckets.
