Pumpkins

My parents, Mary and Gary, made a pumkin patch this years for the kids. Davin and Sophia helped them plant the seeds earlier in the spring and now this weekend they helped harvest some.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend we went camping again at Lake Red Rock. All of the camping spots where we had stayed the past two times were occupied so we ended up staying in an Equestrian campground. It was a little unusual for us. Everybody else had horses and we had a boat! It was fun though...a little more rustic than we had anticated. The other campground had an electric outlet so we brought with our coffee pot for the mornings. Matt ended up taking it to the bathroom to plug in! The weather was great and the kids enjoyed it.








Ben is not actually in the water. He is just on the tube sitting on the seat in the boat. Either way, he was not happy about it. Luckily, once we actually get moving on the boat he falls right asleep.






Sophia agreed to go with me on the tube. I think she had a good time for a little while.

Paolo's Visit

Paolo, a foreign exchange student that lived with my family when I was in the 8th grade, came to visit near the end of August. We spent some time visiting with him in Imogene and got together with the rest of the Maher family. Paolo is now a doctor and has been doing research in Boston for the past year.











Camping August 2009

The last weekend in August we decided to buy a tent and go camping as a family. It went well except during the night it got really cold. Davin had a project for school where he had to take the bear and take pictures with it. Then we had to write in a book about what he did during the weekend.
