Remembering Summer's End

A few things to record...a little late.

1. Tree House Sleepout
The evening started with a hot dog and marshmallow roast



He whittled his own roasting stick.
The designated fire master



We then moved our party to the tree house. With everyone settled in their pjs and sleeping bags we watched The Princess and the Frog on the laptop. Then we flipped on the space heater and tried to get some sleep. I can't say I slept too well but it was still a lot of fun.

Here we are the morning after. And here are some final pictures of the tree house with Weston's finishing touches: windows, door, trim and soffit. Next year he plans to finish the interior.



2. Bridal Veil Falls Bike Trip
It was a gorgeous fall day! And the trail was beautiful! Unfortunately, I had to pull the little ones in the bike trailer and it very quickly became evident just how out of shape I am. Sad.
SJ and I threw rocks in the pond

While the rest of the crew hiked to the bottom of the falls


3. Weston finally made a purchase he has been wanting and researching for a long time: a vintage 1978 Yamaha Enduro DT 400. He loves it and maybe someday will finally convince me to ride it with him!
