Lucie designed this pumpkin, and Chris did a pretty wonderful job carving it. He was unable, however, to duplicate the pencils-as-eyebrows of the original design.

Pumpkin carving

Orchard Park
On a recent beautiful afternoon, we took the dog and kids to the park.
Lucie is improving at riding her bike.
Milo loves the slide.
There was quite a bit of static electricity.

State Fair
We played hooky last Monday to go to the State Fair with Nana, Papa, and Uncle Brian.
Nana, Papa, and Lucie talk to a robotic cow driving a tractor.
Milo's first ride
Ready to go again
Brian kindly rode the swings with Milo, even though they made him feel queasy.
Nana bought the kids a turn at the fishing game. Later, Papa won a squirt gun race and scored a stuffed dog for Lucie.
"Hi, Papa, Nana, and sleeping Milo!"
Don't forget the free hushpuppies on the way out

Jack and the Robbers
The most recent YPPC Munchkin production was a North Carolina version of the Bremen Town Musicians. Lucie played the part of one of the dogs who joins Jack on the road to seek his fortune.
The dogs lie in wait under the table, ready to bite the leg of the robber.
While Jack sleeps, some of the animals go a little nuts.
Curtain call

Milo is good with sticks
Milo has always been good with sticks, so I suppose it should come as no surprise that he would be a chopstick prodigy.

Julian Price Memorial Park
We liked camping so much that we decided to do it again. Here are some pictures from our trip to Julian Price Memorial Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway with Elijah's family.
Milo and Lucie at The Blowing Rock. Lucie was very disappointed that there was no wind that day. We almost asked for our money back.
Paige got all of the kids some big lips.
We saw lots of evidence of beaver activity around Price Lake, including this lodge.
Milo starting to get sleepy (and heavy) on the hike around the lake
Getting ready to paddle
That gray thing in the trees on the left is a real honest-to-god, live hornet's nest, just like in the cartoons.
