Outdoor Beauty at Conner Prairie
I don't know if you would necessarily consider this outdoor beauty, but I wanted to share it with you and it seemed to fit here best. I thought this scarecrow to be quite hilarious!

This picture and the ones below are taken from the top of the monument overlooking the city of Boston.

Variety is the Spice of Life!
Macaroni and Milk and Potatoes.
This is something I normally fix when Jeff is not home, but he decided he wanted to try it. So I fixed it for a Saturday lunch. After I had it fixed, he decided that the main course was not enough. He decided that crackers, cheese and grapes would make a nice addition to the meal. So what do you girls think?!
Banded Woolly Bear Caterpiller
It wasn't but a day or two before I took this picture that I was wishing I could see one of these caterpillers. They were something we saw a lot of growing up and I hadn't really seen one in a long time. Then my kids came in and told me that they had found a caterpillar. I am not sure that they had ever seen one of these before; because they went and looked it up in their nature guide to find out its name. I just wanted to know what kind of a winter it was predicting! :)

Happy 12th Birthday, Curtis!
This cake seems to have become a family favorite of late. I used to purchase bakery cakes, but now they prefer to have this simple and delicious chocolate bundt cake.

Beautiful blues

Julissa really enjoyed getting in the water this year. Last year she was content to sit and play in the sand.

Nubble Light (3rd Stop of Our First Day)
A couple preparing to go diving. It was interesting to watch them go in the water and then only see the yellow and red sign bobbing above them.
All of us except Jeff who was capturing the moment. (My husband and my sister Jodi both pointed out that Jeff is indeed in the picture (at least his shadow!).

Our First Stop on Vacation
We are approaching Portland Head Light.
This picture and the two below it were taken by one of our boys. I found the progression of the three pictures interesting.
I am going to take some educated guesses as to the names of these flowers. I believe this one is a Wild Aster. If someone believes otherwise, please feel free to leave me a comment.

Home Sweet Home
We arrived home on Sunday evening the 13th of September after having left the 2nd of September to head for Maine and Massachusetts for vacation. We had a wonderful time away.
Over Labor Day weekend we were privileged to vacation with my Mom and my sister Heidi and her husband Mike. We spent Wednesday night with my Mom in Ohio and then as soon as Mom finished teaching her classes on Thursday we headed out to meet up with Heidi and Mike at a motel in New Hampshire. We arrived around 3 a.m.
Now, If I would have been Heidi, I would have taken a picture of our motel, but it didn't even enter my mind. My camera didn't make it out of its case until Friday morning. So I leave you pictureless this post. I fully intend to come back and post more about our vacation as soon as I have the time to go through our 1,400+ vacation photos.
Until next time,
