With semi-competent cooks in the house, this year apple picking led to
the kids pie making
I took a quick trip to NY to check in on Grandma Joan's recovery from knee surgery
Erin's middle school has a big XC team of about 150 kids. The top 20 boys and girls travel to away meets but the whole team can race at home. The girls team won every meet except for one to the other middle school in town. The boys team was undefeated. At the end of the season all the middle schools in the state competed in one large meet. Erin's team finished #2 to the other middle school and the boys finished #1. The high school XC team should be pretty good.

Tessie wishes she had a guard cat to protect her room
Katy's favorite weekend of the year isn't when she's hosting us over 4th of July, it's the trip to Capon Springs in WV
Every year at Capon they have a pumpkin weight guess. Thanks to research ahead of time like above at Wilson Farm, we're prepared, and with 12 attendees we can spread out our guesses. We spaced our entries by 3 lbs and even though Tessie wanted 141 lb, I said that she'd be pretty close with 140. Correct weight:141, and since someone got it right on the nose, Tessie didn't win.
Tessie's first XC meet. In her 3K race, the #1 runner had such a big lead that he and the pacer keeping the runners on the correct course were out of sight of the rest of the field, and when the #2 runner made a wrong turn, he led the entire field on an extra 1.5 K extension
Erin's age group raced the correct course
Tessie was in the 8 and under group and took home a 2nd place trophy
Instead of standing around at XC meets, Caroline volunteered as a ticket taker at the historic Hancock-Clarke house
wow Tai-Tai is a tacocat as II, @I, @wow
Look who took home the pumpkin from the rec center guessing competition
and with our own big one, we had our work cut out for us making jack'o'lanterns
I told you our 37-lb pumpkin (top right) would be purrfect
Never seen so many fairy rings as here in the woods at Capon Springs
Tessie's 3rd grade soccer team was so dominant that the goalie almost never touched the ball. Doesn't stop you from working on your dance moves.
