We stopped at a Lake Erie beach before heading home.

We cooked on the campfire tonight.  Once we figured out we could make pizza in our pie irons, it became a tradition.

We stayed at a state park near Toledo.  Today we ran up to Greenfield Village to see all the stuff we missed when it was excessively hot in August.  They had it decorated for Halloween, with hundreds of Jack-o-lanterns.  I saw more carved pumpkins today than I have the rest of my life combined.  This picture is from our campground.  It was a nice, clear night, with a full moon.

The kids had Thursday and Friday off school, so we took a long weekend vacation.

I think the feeder goldfish we bought have grown quite a bit.  They're much easier to spot now.

I've begun experimenting with using the cnc mill to carve quick little wooden blocks.

We dug potatoes today.  It was too dry in June and we didn't get very many, and what we got were on the small side.

The miniature decorative pumpkins did really well this year.  The ones you can carve and eat did not.  The hybrid gourd mixes that came up on their own did well too, and a few of those look interesting.  We got a few birdhouse gourds too.
