Fall 2016

During the summer the girls practiced biking around the block to the point where Erin finally became competent enough for expeditions. This forced us to find a new bike to Caroline, but then we were ready for the Minuteman Battle Road trail.

The kitties health continued to be of concern, especially Max's kidneys

He never used to do this 

We survived the maze and the crowds 

Tessie is actually a help around the house

Hunting crayfish at the Old Reservoir. We caught a baby catfish. 

Rainy day shoe shopping 

Our computer room is now the Lego-arium for Caroline and Erin's imaginations

Topsfield Fair had the usual baby chicks 

Rare birds such as mallard ducks 

and a 2000-pound pumpkin 

a chance to pet calves 

and eat giant pickles

That Merida hair was worth every penny

The Axe Women of Maine sported some seriously sharp hardware and chopping skills

The purpose of this playing this song was not to expose the kids to Decembrists lyrics featuring vocab words like "prevaricate","fey", and "sibylline". Tessie latched on to the song and specifically the word "honeydew"
