The Last Days of Summer

We packed a ton of fun into our last few days of summer. Of course, we've been super busy, so I have come to accept my ability to blog as not being a weekly event. Oh well, there are more important things to get done!

Payson enjoyed sliding around the deck in this very expensive and technologically advanced toy. Perhaps it also has a special cooling feature.
Labor Day weekend we went to my friend Jami's parent's camp on Sabbathday Lake and enjoyed our last swimming of the summer. I even got to go waterskiing! Payson and Braydon, especially, enjoyed getting splashed by Braydon's Buppa on the beach (I did not, as you can see).
Braydon loving the water!

We also went on a bike ride with the Smiths Labor Day weekend. They have a bike trailer and two helmets! Payson loved the helmet. Alison wasn't too keen on sharing one of her two helmets, so we convinced her it was Payson's.
Ready to roll!

And we're off! The first half of the ride was fun, but the second half not so. It was Payson's first time in a bike trailer and she was a little unsure of it - who can blame her? It must be a strange new experience. On top of that, she got a very short nap the day prior and wasn't her normal, well-rested self. The ride back was a scream-fest, but Eddie toughed it out and rode like the wind. When we got back Alison said, "Payson was screamin' in my trailer," or something to that effect. Pretty funny.

We went to Wolfe's Neck Farm with Payson's cousins Chloe and Fiona and Aunt Lauren in early September and had a blast! Chloe especially loves the farm animals, and runs from one to the next.

We attempted to get a good picture of all 3 girls together for Nanie & Grampy Plum. This was as good as we got. They're all fascinated by a big tractor!

Lisa, Leah, and I headed to the Gray Wildlife Park for their (free) open house. It was an abnormally warm day for mid-September! We had a great time. The girls climbed everywhere! They're looking at the black bears here.

Puddles are a big attraction for both girls! They are very cute together!

Aside from these adventures, not much else is new. We've been working a lot - Matt especially. One of his friends who owns his own tree business recently fell 45' out of a tree, luckily sustaining only minor injuries. Matt's been working one day on the weekends to help him keep his business afloat, so it makes for a short weekend! But it helps us out tremendously and helps his friend out as well.
