Our Family

I thought this was a cute picture of our little family, which will soon become a little bigger as you can see from the size of my belly.

Fall at Highbanks

We loved this beautiful walk at Highbanks on an amazing sunny November day.

Raking Leaves

Here's a few pictures of the kids playing in the fall leaves. Juliet dove right into a pile and was having a blast.

I thought Cole would get into it to, but he sort of sat off to the side and just watched for a while. Finally, he came up to me where I was raking and said, "You're raking leaves. I'm jumping in the leaves."

Then he dove right in.

A Couple of Halloween Pictures

We didn't really go all out for Halloween this year. Juliet really wanted to be a witch again, so we went with that. When I named some suggestions to Cole he also wanted to go with his past M&M costume. So, we didn't do anything new this year. We went to the church party, went Trick or Treating in Grandpa Al's neighborhood, and of course had Halloween parties at school. So, they got to do the Halloween thing. No family costume or costumes for me and Charles this year. We'll get back in the swing of things next year.

Adorable Juliet videos

The first video is of Juliet making adorable fish faces.

The second video is of Juliet dancing in front of the Merry-Go-Round, can we say performer. I wonder where she got that?

Port Clinton- Part 4- Lighthouse and Weird Dinosaur Park

We had so much fun exploring this lighthouse. We ran around on the rocks and climbed to the top of the lighthouse. The second batch of pictures is from a little Dinosaur park where various paper-machete dinosaurs were hiding throughout the trees. It was a little strange, but as you can see we had a lot of fun posing for pictures.

Port Clinton- Part 3- Trip to Put In Bay

We had a very nice day taking the ferry over to Put-in-Bay where we enjoyed visiting two caves, going on a tour, seeing a butter-fly house, learning about the local fish, eating lunch, and a few other adventures. It was really a pretty little island and, heck, the kids were thrilled just with the ferry ride over. We did have a less than comfortable adventure getting poured on by rain for about an hour in the afternoon. Let's just say that the little open tour bus/train was not made to be water proof. But, all together it was a really neat day and Cole still mentions going back.
