Until Next Year

One With Nature

Monkey Face

Lunch Break at the top of the Fire Tower trail.

Top of the fire tower.

Little waterfall on the hike back.  The trail was wetter this year that we'd ever experienced.  

Back at the campsite....

Homemade hammock??  Doesn't look comfortable to me....

Annual Camping Trip - Pawtuckaway

No reason to wake up early when it's raining outside.....  Luckily it was good weather when we set-up camp last night.

Thank goodness for the EZ-Up.  Soggy pancakes would not be fun....

The sun came out and dried up all the rain this afternoon.

Lunch tastes better under a shelter built with Dad.

Time to get cozy!

Cub Scout Hike

Kennedy Pond Loop in the Emmett Conservation Land

An unusual find in nature.....

Apple Picking Party

A  picture perfect day at Drew Farm celebrating Leilani's birthday.

Eleven!!

When you run out of fingers, you start counting on your fingers AND toes!

Super awesome gift from Nan & Pop.  Uncle Michael bought one of these STEM toys for Jahla & Zoe recently.  Aiden spent hours at their house playing with it last month, unbeknownest to him that Nan had already shipped one to our house for his birthday!

A massive supply of beef jerky from Auntie Kelly & family.  Evidently, Aiden consumed all of Uncle Michael's jerky on our recently camping trip, so this was very fitting!

Birthday dinner at Evviva Cucina.

Happy 11th birthday, Aiden!  We love you.  xoxo

Pack Meeting

Making sailboats to race at the first pack meeting of the year.

Mill Works Open House

There was an open house at my new(ish) gym today.  Bree did a trial gymnastics class, and also had fun exploring the cardio equipment.  They had lots of stuff going on the for the kids - games, bouncy houses, basketball, etc.  And I got to take a 30 minute restorative yoga break while they were playing.  Happy day!

New Taekwondo School

Aiden recently joined a new Taekwondo school in town - World Class Martial Arts.  It's a much more rigorous program, and he so much more engaged.  Loving it here so far!

Purgatory Chasm

Took Grammy & Grampy on one of our favorite Massachussetts adventures today!

Visitors

We brought some visitors back with us after the wedding last night.  :-)

Getting a little fresh air on the Stone Arch Bridge trail this afternoon.

Puppy Love

Aiden is at the Sperry's for the night while Sean & I are at a wedding, and apparently he's fallen in love.  Meet Lucy.  True confessions -- I got to meet her yesterday, before Aiden did.  And.....I might have fallen in love too.  She's the sweetest little ball of fur ever!  xoxo

Saying Goodbye to Summer

It's the final weekend at WST.  *sniff sniff*  The summer went by way too fast....

Bike Ride

Gorgeous day to explore the newly expanded Bruce Freeman Trail.

Post bike ride we headed to Great Brook Farm for an ice cream treat a visit with the animals.
