Summer of fun

Here's some random photos from our summer as the fall begins here in Vermont.....

Lars let me go out to Jackson Hole with 8 other ladies for a fun-filled relaxing week of hiking, canoeing, hiking, running, hiking, and relaxing on the deck with a beer..... here's some photos of our beautiful hike to Lake of the Crags (which we didn't reach, since we had to get back down in time for a friend's flight)


Beth Naylor enjoying the view....
Beth and JJ in the Red Rocks.
Bath time in the double sink!
Carter decorating the cake we made for Papa's 35th birthday.  We made him a scavenger hunt as well, Carter was excited and hid under the table the whole time, waiting for papa to find him!
Cousins Malcolm and Maura playing at Shelburne Farms
A rare moment of sweetness between brothers at Shelburne Farms
Carter documenting mama trying to wash the cat in tomato juice after a direct hit from a skunk.  Note: cats do not like being bathed....
Carter's first fishing experience at Green River Reservoir with Papa and Jon.  Jon caught a fish when they went out on the canoe, I guess Carter's only response was that he stopped fishing after that.  Seems he didn't realize what he was actually doing....

Carter helping to canoe at Green River
Isaac's first canoe trip - he tolerated it.. can't say he really enjoyed it, but I think it was more that he hated the life jacket....



We are enjoying a beautiful week - September may be my favorite month - warm days, cool nights, BBQs, corn, watermelon, and the apple orchard just opened for apple picking! A real sign of fall.  A few trees are starting to turn....
Here's a last image of summertime fun:
