Nathanael is 61 inches tall (89%) and grew 3 inches.  (He is 2 inches taller than Adley when he was 11.)  He weighs 103 lbs (84%) and gained 18 lbs.  (He was always so super slim.  GROWTH SPURT).  (He weighs 17 lbs more than Adley did at 11 years old. :) )

Nathanael had 2 shots - not to shabby.  A healthy report from the Dr.

Saturday is a Football Day!

The boys had a BLAST on their first football game day. We didn't win either of our games.
The Chiefs did a good job.  Here is Nathanael in the QB position.



Adley on the Rams is about to hike the ball to the QB.

What a good season start!
Love,
The Footballers!

The Grapes

The Grapes are ripe for harvest!  We're ready to make Grape Juice.

Today we biked to pick!



The harvest was plentiful!
6 quarts of juice were made and canned.  (2 broke in the canner.... maybe I filled the jars too full.)
In 2 months we'll have delicious grape juice!
Love,
The grape pickers

Labor Day Camping Fun!

Wow, what a fun weekend we had.
We arrived at Woodford State Park Thursday at 4ish.  This park is on a plateau in the Green Mountians at a bit of elevation.  It was breezy that night setting up.  We had so much fun seeing everyone and enjoying.

The first morning wasn't super warm, but people kayaked and  mom swam a good length of Adams Reservoir.  Then the clouds and wind came in.  So we had some dry fun.  That afternoon we were planning to take a walk around the lake, but accidentally took the reservior trail.  Still a good walk and about the same distance...just no lake. :)  The evenings were cool as well, But we brought our warm clothes.

On Saturday we drove into Bennington to check out the Revolutionary War Memorial.  A HUGE obelisk.  Then we did the driving covered bridges tour - 3 of them.  We hiked a fabulous 3 mile trail on the Appalachian Trail & Long Trail.  (They are one and the same in southern VT.) 

The rest of that day was just camping fun.

Sunday we packed up to go home, but not before taking a fun family photo!



What a Blast!
Love,
The Campers
