Beavers

D went to his first Beavers meeting on Tuesday. Here are the pictures.

Last weekend of summer!!

Today we went out to the trailer for the day. The boys had a lot of fun playing by the water, not is as it was to cold.



I had fun to, as I caught this frog to show the boys.

Then it was time for the Parade and trick or treating.

D dressed up as a hockey player, and Little A as Superman. K is the pretty lady in black.

We all had a great time.

D's red pepper

D's plant had a red pepper on it the other day.



He was quite pleased with himself.



He ate it when we got home, and shared it with his brother. He said it was the best pepper ever.

Here are some past posts about the pepper

The first time we shared about the plant we started from a seed in a red pepper we were eating.

Back from Chicago

We had a family vacation down around Chicago. Here are the four generations on A's mom's side of the family. We had a great time meeting Great-Grandma, M and C. Thank you M and C for your hospitality.



Then we went to meet the other side of the family, at the family reunion. The boys had a lot of fun.



I will post more pictures once we get some from the family.

Cheers J.
