We made it to a Dartmouth football game. Those ivy leaguers aren't exactly known for their prowess on the field. But it makes for a great game to take our kids to. We were able to sit just a few rows back from the field and made it maybe for an hours worth. Nothing like 5 dollar tickets for two adults and free kids.
We love having that stove.
We decided to take a trip to Salem, MA this fall, you know, the place of the Salem witch trials. We weren't able to see everything there with our girls, but it was neat to see what we could. This is Katie making friends with a girl at the town festival. She is so attracted in anyone in any form of a princess costume.
I can't even tell you the name of this boat, or why it was there in Salem, but it's a replica of something that would have been around I think in the 1600's. It sets your imagination on fire thinking about crossing the ocean in something like this.
This is Katie up in the top of our cherry tree. She's already fallen out of it twice, but keeps going back up. Nothing broken yet.
Some of you may recognize the same witch outfit Katie has had for the last 4 Halloweens. The twins outgrew the costumes they had last year, so you are seeing my best efforts to replicate Katie's dress for them. The crushed velvet helps them look fancier than they are, but I'm pretty proud of myself. They loved dressing up like witches and giving a good cackle.
Katie with our two surviving Jack-O-Lanterns. She drew the eyes and nose for the one next to her. Trick or treating in our neighborhood was a lot of fun. All of the neighbors seemed to be out as families and we all just visited with each other. The weather was great (Sandy missed us) and the girls had a lot of fun saying trick or treat, though Cora fell down the stairs of the first three houses we went to because she was so busy looking at her candy as she was trying to go down them.
