Under the Lights

The last week of football, a night game at the high school stadium.  He's a good teammate, likes to celebrate any kind of score!

 

Last bit of Fall Color

 Hurricane Sandy is tearing the last leaves off the trees.  It was beautiful while it lasted.

 Leaf piling with neighbors.

Early Halloween

Pre-hurricane/noreaster/power loss posting flurry.
The kids decided they wanted to find out if their costumes fit.

 Everyone trying to "boo" mommy.

More Autumn

Pretty slow here in New England.  We are enjoying the last warm days of autumn.

  Boo!

Autumn in New England

Some glorious weather here, makes for good times with the neighbors.

 

  And the sporting life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guilford Fair

September is Fair time!  We sneak in a back gate, one of the perks of being a fairground neighbor, and start with the petting zoo.

 Goats and camels in the petting zoo, livestock too.  Then it's off to the Ferris Wheel.

  Way up high.

  Our house is behind those trees.

  The roller coaster.

  Carnival games.

  Carousel with all the kids.

 

Danny turns 6!

A busy Friday and weekend for Danny.  Morning presents with his sisters.

 Swimming after school.

  Monkeys.

  A boat of sushi.

  Soccer on Saturday.

These other Under-6's were in Kindergarten and were not prepared for a first grader's intensity.  He started slide-tackling everyone and got some words from the ref.  I asked him where he learned how to do that and he answered, "I saw it on TV."

  Down goes orange!

  Saturday afternoon football practice.

  Leigh playing with Danny's friend's sister.
