But she loves playing clarinet with the middle school honor band. Last week they had their fall concert, which was perfect!
She's in the middle front row...you can tell it's her by the beautiful sweet face! :)
We love you MRD!

Beautiful Music
This fall MRD is playing three (that's 3!!!) instruments: piano, clarinet, and violin. She likes piano best, last time I asked.

Blessed Feast Day
For last week's All Saints party, this year we had Blessed Kateri Tekatwitha, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Juan Diego, and St. John the Evangelist. Plus a teenage dude who thinks he's now too cool to dress up as a saint (not pictured).
And in honor of the Holy Day, a haiku...
My eyes can't see you
But I know that you love me
Feast of All the Saints!

Feeding the Birds
The lady at the nature center had an awesome idea; feeding the birds by hand.
It worked! So cool!
And not only that, I can't believe how long they stood there, so still and quiet.
That woman is a genius I tell you!
In fact, for some of us, this was one of the best parts of the whole vacation. Sweet!

No, this is NOT our campfire!
It's a Door County Fish Boil! Fish Boils over a huge fire with Great Lakes whitefish are a Door County tradition, and a family tradition for us each fall as well.
The best part is the enormous fire. The second best part is the pools of butter over all the fish and potatoes on our plates. Third best...Door County cherry pie. Yum.
Oh yeah, and Mom's favorite part...having a glass of white wine on the terrace before dinner while we watch the fire and hear the fish boil story. The perfect thing on a crisp fall evening! My kind of camping! :)

Lovin' the Lighthouse
Best lighthouse in Door County; can't believe it took us six years to get here! It's great because you can climb up to the top outside railing, which is very high. The lighthouse is actually still functional, with the original 150-yr-old light.
If you look closely you can see WWD and MPD way down below on the rock beach. :)

Happy Campers
Best camping trip ever! Oh wait...didn't I say that last time? Well, this time it was as much fun as last time but without the heat, the bugs, and the tornado. Which made it pretty much perfect, I'd say!

Summer Ball
WWD has been playing AAU ball this summer with a new team. It has been a great chance for him to keep up his basketball over the summer, and lots of fun. In the meantime he has now grown up to 5'9"--yep, that's taller than his mom! No way!
(Yes that kid behind him is gigantic...)
Did I mention size 12 shoes? Which still, for a minute, equals his age? :) Teenage years, dead ahead! Go WWD!
